GOP African American, Rep.-Elect Tim Scott, Won't Join Black Caucus

He has a right not to join,but each day he should look in the mirror and understand he is a Black man first and a Republican 2nd.
A lot of people died and were beat for the right to vote so someday a person such as himself could be elected.I was in the civil rights lines as a child scared to death I would be killed or beat.To see a Tim Scott turn his back on all those whom diedso he could me in Congress makes me sick.However as stated above it is his right to keep his distance.When the bigots from the Tea Party spit on him and call him the "N" word as was done to another Black Congressman last spring don't ask for any help from the Black Caucus.

He's a fool who thinks that not joining the CBC make him special. Well someone needs to let him know that nothing will change.

time and accomplishments will be the ultimate test...enough of the talking...

My Lord, finally someone who wants what is best for all America. This has been nothing but a divide and a full blown exclusive social club.

I applaud Rep.Scott's decision. The time for division between races, and any group of people at the expense of all is way past.

Should it not be the"African American Caucus"

The caucus is better off without either of them.

Good for him. Finally, someone is willing to think for himself.

It is organizations like the Black Caucus that keep racism alive. We are beyond any special interest needs. I applaud Congressman Scott's decision. The leaders need to abandon the group think menality.

Both men seem to have their heads on straight........we need more like them in our State and Fed Legislatures.
