Just to point out,most every ethnic group has its own caucus as well and keep other euthenics outside.They all claim to be concerned about other groups but the purpose is the make sure that each group represents and holds as many in their groups as possible.When you consider the the Caucasian government held seats far out number each of these groups it sounds discriminatory but the design is to give these groups the ability to stand against racial bias,by the admittance of others the purpose is lost and becomes the same as many general legislation groups.This photo could just as easily be of asian,hispanic,cuban or indian groups.It's what allows these groups a voice in our legislative system

This is a big part of the issue, you cannot have a non-racist society as long as there are groups within who fight for equality yet constantly point out perceived differences. King walked a fine line with an ability to point out injustice but still make all feel included. So many of the leaders of today are in it for the payday, not the people they say they are helping. If they truly were in it for the people they would be working less on red herring high profile cases and more towards correcting the every day issues, the issues that create no cash, no glory and no headlines.

This is why people are getting fed up. They demand much more than equality, but expect us to accept blatant discrimination. And, even then, they holler racism! It's crazy.
