Congressional Black Caucus Gives $5,000 to Rep. Steve Cohen's Opponent

Ugh. Talk about racial politics in its most identity-over-policy form:

Among the other eye-raising contributions tallied by Tinker is a $5,000 one from the Congressional Black Caucus. That's the caucus the white Cohen tried to join - and was rejected - upon becoming a US Congressman.

Cohen's gotten strong reviews in his first term and has a far better liberal/progressive than Harold Ford, Jr. did or than Tinker's likely to have given her public statements and background. And since that's the politics promoted by most leading members of the CBC you'd think they'd like that. But apparently they put race over policy.
