Congressional Black Caucus: "Useful Idiots."

Congressional Black Caucus


Whoa there, don't send the hate mail to me!

The term is commonly attributed to Vladimir Lenin, sometimes in the form "useful idiots of the West", to describe those Western reporters and travelers who would endorse the Soviet Union and its policies in the West.

Congressional Black Caucus Smitten With Castro:

"The Negro is indolent and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent... We're going to do for blacks exactly what blacks did for the Cuban revolution. By which I mean: NOTHING!"

- (Ernesto "Che" Guevara.)
