"Do the Republicans take black people for fools?"

This article says people of color make up 17% of delegates. You just know that is a damn lie. It makes me wonder why they refuse to release the names of the delegates to the Repugnantcan National Convention. Probably because they haven't paid enough people of color to pose as delegates yet. What a dog and pony show that is going to be.

Rush once said "I'm not going to say why most blacks vote Democrat, because we all know the reason." I wished with all my might that he would finally make that one racist statement he always comes so close to making: "N****** are just stupid." Not that Murdoch would fire him for that.

2. This is one of the many problems I have with

black conservatives who insist that there is no racism anymore and that blacks can make it all on their own, etc., etc. (Clarence Thomas and Alan Keyes, anyone)?

Leaving aside the fact that, as a white person I hear and see racism all the time on the part of fellow whites, do they not know that they´re being used by the repukes as nothing more than tokens? Do they not see that the repukes don´t give a shit about them, indeed, have total contempt for blacks and other minorities, but they need their tokens to try to convince people that they´re really not the racist hateful bigots that they are?

7. Exactly! I'm white and married to a brown (Asian Indian)

and NOBODY can tell me there is no racism, and it's still BLATANT, in many cases.

But as to the "used" parts, they are strictly opportunists. Who cares if they set their brothers and sisters back 50 years if THEY get ahead. Even AI Americans have an example of this: Dinesh D'Souza (barf).

10. Ah, yes, good ól

´´Distort D´Newsa´´, as his college compatriots so scornfully nicknamed him. I was in college in the ´80´s around the same time as him, and I remember first reading his bullshit and wondering how the hell anyone in their right minds could consider him even slightly seriously.

And I know what you mean about seeing blatant racism all the time being married to a minority. I see that all the time when I´m with my black or hispanic friends, ALL the time!

3. I think so-look how Bush treats Rod Paige

Unity Conf-Rod Paige

Rod Paige is an incompetent shill for diversity.

4. Yea!

Wait until the Brothers and Sisters see the list of names.
My friend thinks he is a big time African American Rethug and he was not asked to be a delegate.

How much money do you think they are paying African Americans and other minorities? Wonder if they will promise to set them up in business?

What scum they are to even try this stunt! They think we are fools but we have been watching White folks since before slavery and we know when we are being used. We know "used" when we see it.

5. They think EVERYONE is a fool

4 years of having my intelligence insulted has gotten old. It infuriates me that the media doesn't say,"Mr. President, do you honestly expect the American people to believe that?"
