Why don't more people speak out against the existence of the Congressional Black Caucus?

Asked by josie (30934points) July 31st, 2011

One of the founders of the CBC explains its exclusive black membership,
”...there has been an unofficial Congressional White Caucus for over 200 years, and now it’s our turn to say who can join ‘the club’

Certainly, the US Congress is, and has always been predominantly white.
But there is a difference.
It has never actually called itself the American White Congress
And it does not disallow membership based on skin color, which the CBC certainly does.
Why do does the CBC get a pass, where others certainly would not?
