More open racism. GOP Rep. French Hill in #AR2 warns voters that, if his Dem challenger wins, she’d be a “member of the Congressional Black Caucus”. As close as you can get to telling voters to not vote for a black candidate without using those words. https://arkansasonline.com/news/2020/oct/18/hill-elliott-in-tight-race-for-us-house-seat/?news-arkansas

2. Not sure how this is racial

She would become part of the Democratic conference. Seems like this is reaching, unless there is more to this than what is presented in this tweet. Am I missing something?

6. It says she'd become a member of the CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS. That's a racial imputation.

7. That was not in the original posted tweet copied here

Thus the change in my response.
