    While it is impossible to tell what the specific individual will do in any given scenario, in the aggregate we can tell with precise accuracy what the average person within a group will do.

    I wouldn't say similar caucuses exist at all actually. It's important to note that this idea wasn't simply a caucus that identified itself as Anglo Saxon, but rather a caucus based on a platform which identifies the United States itself as an Anglo-Saxon culture under threat from outsiders. To quote the organizers directly

    "America is a nation with a border, and a culture, strengthened by a common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions. History has shown that societal trust and political unity are threatened when foreign citizens are imported en-masse into a country, particularly without institutional support for assimilation and an expansive welfare state to bail them out should they fail to contribute positively to the country"

    I can't really say there is any American caucus with this kind of platform, it's the kind of platform that is outdated even for modern day racists. It's the kind of nonsense that was used against Italian and Irish immigrants during the late 19th and early 20th century... in fact, it's pretty much spot on with the rhetoric used in that era, since neither of those groups are Anglo Saxon. It's no wonder that the caucus's own leaders have abandoned the idea entirely.. actually, not just abandoned the idea, but have outright disassociated themselves from ever supporting it, saying it was a staff level idea that they did not read themselves.

    The United States is not an Anglo-Saxon country, it is a country made up of hundreds of different kinds of people (including Anglo Saxon), who are all American none the less. It was founded on political philosophies which took inspiration from Ancient Rome (which isn't Anglo Saxon) and ancient Greece (also not Anglo-Saxon), as well as the Iroquois Confederacy (not Anglo Saxon). The country was was further built and developed through the ideas and hard work of people from French, German, Jewish, Irish, African, and east Asian cultures. There were certainly Anglo-Saxon political thinkers like John Locke and Francis Bacon that the US took huge inspiration from, but even those political thinkers themselves took inspiration from non-Anglo Saxon cultures.

    I'm glad you brought this up. I was thinking the same thing relative to Cuomo. One minute it was that he made inappropriate comments to some women and he allegedly kissed one without invitation. The next thing I knew people were headlining their topics with "rapist".

    Honestly, I get the impression some people don't know what that word means which, as you wrote, is terrifying.

    Fortunately, the white supremacist bullshit is attracting fewer followers than they hoped. People must get tired of eternally wallowing in hate and fear.

    Do you believe we would be better off eliminated those political influences and instead adopted Black African political traditions? Do you not believe Anglo-Saxon influences have help to make us the great societies that we are in those countries where they are recognized and followed? Will America be a better country if we become another Mexico or Honduras?

    This is like the twentieth similar theme already recorded on this thread, the two are not even remotely similar, the Black Caucus doesn’t imply the exclusion of other peoples in their agenda, that their understanding is absolute, nor that their agenda should be adopted because it is superior to others

    As I noted, the language being employed here could come straight out of KKK or prewar Nazi literature

    On the contrary, on that 1789 map I posted, North America is divided into different ethnic nations....
    British, Anglo US, Spain and even Russia !! Just like Europe was divided into ethnic nations. Just like ancient Israel was divided by tribe [each of the 12 tribes of Israel had their own hereditary territory.]

    So then as I said before let’s say a “White Congressional Caucus” emerged with a platform and mission statement identical to the black congressional caucus but replaced black with white. Would that be acceptable?

    You always blame blacks for the most crime. IE, skin color. The main difference between white skin and black skin is the type and amount of Melanin.
    If blacks are more criminal and violent than whites, both skin colors, then Melanin has to be the reason.

    Why are they not?

    How Many Black members of Congress are there? About 4? Out of 250+ possible members. That seems like a white caucus to me.

    Absolutely I'd like to see Afirmative Action gone. When do you think the country will start treating how people as equals? And be so discriminatory.

    Have to say just being the majority for the entire history of the US there already exists a “White Congressional Caucus,” but playing along, if such an entity materialized, as long as it didn’t proceed implying and acting as if it were naturally superior to anyone else, it could be copacetic, useless, but allowable.

    In order to do such you’d have to assume that they were representing a suppressed minority, which reality predicates ain’t happening

    That’s factually incorrect. Melanin is one of a plethora of differences.

    In the US, in terms of who holds the power, they have always been the majority and in control

    I don't know of many white people belonging to the racist-all black congressional congress, or to the leadership in the Black Lives Matter Movement, or in any of those all black churches across the nation, or living in Watts, Harlem or Roxbury et al. Oh those darn white segregationists who want to praise and foster our white American founders roots. Shame on them! Did Jerimiah Wright have any whites join in on his glorious praise of our founders, and were there any whites attending his services?

    First of all the proposed Caucus has nothing to do with the KKK. The fact that you suggests it does says you are either a racist who hates whites or a self-hating white.

    In terms of developed nations, whites call the shots in the majority of those countries, plus considering the combined power of those same nations, weigh heavily in dominating the world

    As I noted earlier, what they are saying closely resembles the same language one would find in KKK and prewar Nazi literature. Are they directly connected, no, but appealing to the same audience, dangerous stuff

    Lol and why are those nations are underdeveloped? To further emphasize that point, how many nations run by white people are considered underdeveloped nations? I’m fairly certain that number is zero right?
