Did the Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus Call Black People Racists?

This statement from Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus is just unbelievable. In it, he says that the actions taken by black people toward President Obama regarding the economy are based largely on the color of his skin. From The Daily Caller:

The point I was making is that black people hold the president in such high esteem, that they would not dare march on the White House even though unemployment is at 15 percent and higher and if there was a white president we would do that because we’ve had white presidents since George Washington.

You see that? Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, just said that black people, given these same economic conditions, would march on the White House if the president were white. But, because there is a black president, “They would not dare.” Hey Emanuel, you know what’s REALLY racist? Holding people to different standards and treating them differently because of the color of their skin, which is exactly what you said was happening.
