text:  Do you know what percentage of Congress is white? No, and I don't care. I don't, but I know that we finally have 60 members of the Congressional Black Caucus, which is progress. But even then, 75%. White Americans make up 60%, 59% of the U.S. population, 75% of Congress. What does this have to do with anything? People get to vote for who they want. And if there's a dearth of minorities in Congress, you can blame the Democrat Party.
