Below is a pic of the new Congressional Black Caucus chairman, Dem Rep. G.K. Butterfield (no, I’m not joking). He “identifies” as being black because he grew up on the “black side” of town, apparently that’s good enough for CBC.

“We will use our positions to expose racism race bait.” Fixed that for you.

Several members of the Congressional Black Caucus marked the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Sunday with a visit to Ferguson, Mo., to vow that criminal justice reform will be the “centerpiece” of their agenda this Congress.

Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.), chairman of the CBC, told the gathering at Wellspring United Methodist Church that King’s “vision and leadership and bold obstruction to the status quo embarrassed this nation and forced a change to civil rights and voting rights laws.” […]

Butterfield said black America “continues to be victim of decades of discrimination and neglect by those in power.”

“Dr. King demanded change. Today, the Congressional Black Caucus and the people of Ferguson and Staten Island and Cleveland demand change in the way African Americans are treated in this country,” he said. “And so, the CBC comes today united in purpose. We’ve come in solidarity for this moment; a moment that in future years will be known as a turning point in race relations and opportunity.”

“…We will use our positions to expose racism when and where it is found. We will use our positions to introduce legislation to address the need for systemic change in the criminal justice system – changes not only regarding the means by which law enforcement officers carry out their duties, but the misconduct of prosecutors and grand juries. Your fight is our fight. Your success is our success.”
