Racism Irony of the Day

This story currently tops Drudge:
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) on Friday strongly suggested that members of Congress are making it difficult for President Obama to raise the debt ceiling because of his race.
Just as a reminder, Sheila Jackson Lee was the congresswoman that asked the scientist handling the Mars Rover if it would be taking pictures of the area where the astronauts landed.

She's also a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, an organization that restricts its membership to people of a certain color.  When a white Dem congressman tried to join, he was denied because he lacked the appropriate melanin level.

The only racism in this story is the existence of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Does the CBC allow Republicans of color?

In her defense--she CAN name 56 of the 57 sates The Won campaigned in.
