WASHINGTON - The racial divide exposed by Hurricane Katrina has united minority lawmakers in Congress who hope to leverage their numbers to aid overlooked communities.
Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus are creating a new group that will include all of their members. The Tri-Caucus will not replace the existing caucuses.
The leaders of each of caucus wrote the House Administration Committee last week asking for formal recognition of the new group. The request comes two weeks before members of the minority caucuses are to meet in Houston for a previously scheduled retreat that was canceled because of Hurricane Katrina.
Many of those who were unable to escape Katrina and the flooding it caused in New Orleans were black and poor. The Aug. 29 storm also greatly affected the Hispanic and Asian immigrant communities in the Gulf Coast states.
"What happened in Katrina can be a lesson to understanding what could happen in other areas," said Rep. Grace Napolitano (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., who heads the Hispanic caucus. "The Red Cross was not putting in people who were bilingual. When groups like the National Council of La Raza tried to volunteer, they were turned away."
Katrina "pulled the veil back on the kind of poverty we've been trying to address," said Rep. Mike Honda, chairman of the Asian Pacific American caucus.
"Communities of color have been separated by race, by language ... they've been very busy trying to survive. Working together we can get things done that we have in common in our community. We can create political leverage when we are together, we can create common solutions together," Honda said.

First of all, I don't feel any solidarity with other non-whites. I think they hate us(black ppl) all equally. Everybody in the world hates blackness. Black ppl are the most institutionally discrimated ppl on earth. I think most races hate us because most races know that they originated from us. Also, they know that if they breed with us that will be the end of there culture.
The problem is so many of you black ppl in here have bought into that stupid multi-culti junk white ppl have tried to pull off. Most white ppl don't even believe that junk. Notice how when white ppl say that we all equal they can't look you in the eye.
I personally believe that black ppl should have our own states here in the United States. Favorably, the south which is some of the most fertile land in the U.S. And all other non-blacks should live in the upper portion of the U.S. But thats just my "Wishful Thinking". |

Hey. That a GREAT IDEA, Mayne!
Why don't you get a start ahead of the rest of us and go set up stakes in Montana, Wyoming or some other place? When you've got things going, the rest of us will come along later.
Really. We'll all follow your lead, Captain.
I promise. |

I really wouldn't want your kind of "black ppl" in my state at all. So Puleeze! Do me a favor and stay where you are at. Anyways, I don't want uneducated black ppl like you in my state either. If you notice I said the southern half of the U.S. |
