My guess is that almost all the Blacks in the Repug Party are Oreo’s (black on the outside, white on the inside). Or they just don’t see themselves as Black.

I don’t think there are a lot of blacks in the KKK.

As the repubs have already started issuing thinly veiled racial slurs against Obama, wonder how the Black Repubs will feel at the end of the next few months.

Why would any black person in their right mind go to a Klan rally? The Republican party has a few token blacks, but you noticed they don’t have any black elected members of Congress. Just look at their record; They’ve only had two blacks elected to Congress since slavey ended. One was Sen. Edward Brooks, R-Mass, and Rep. J.C. Watts R-Ok and that’s it. That’s a fact, jack. Now what doesn’t that tell you about the Republican party? That’s right! How could a major party in this country not have even one black elected to either house of congress? I’m sure they are proud of their record. But I say it’s a sad commentary and speak volumes about the GOP. They claim to be, but it’s obvious that they aren’t the party of Abraham Lincoln.

I’m thinking of buying a bow tie and trying to get in at the republican convention…..I’m white so I would probably be allowed in.

Me too, Fred… a gentleman of the uh, African Amercian persuasion once called me “one of the whitest white guys” he had ever seen…

Don’t forget the horn-rimmed glasses and tweed jacket w/ that bow tie, Fred. And the shirt w/ different colored collar and cuffs… it’s an ensemble look… and it matters… to THEM… except for the ones in Hooters t-shirts and NASCAR caps. Damn… I’m getting vicious… and vile… better switch to de-caf…

It’s a “Big Tent”–with two clearly marked entrances.

Is Alan Keyes going to speak? I sure hope so!

What about Condi Rice? Colin Powell?

You’d have to stop making sense and switch to constantly repeating party line talking points even if they don’t answer the question. But if you don’t mind looking like an idiot you can probably get in.

The blacks attending the RNC funeral — er, convention — are probably the only ones who won’t be involved in some caging scheme by the time that November 4 rolls around.

VP candidate Palin says that the Iraq war is about oil … and according to our international agreements as well as basic human morality these are the real crimes punishable by real laws .

Guido the Loving OBGYN Says:

Yeah I still don’t understand the Republican talking point that blacks are voting now only because there is a black candidate. What point are they trying to make? That they should be disqualified from voting? Since they presumeably would not vote otherwise?

Perhaps they should be made to take a reading test or pay a poll tax before voting. Or they should only be allowed to vote if their grandfathers voted – that’ll keep the “sunshine voters” away.

I look for this 2% of the delegates to be on-camera as much as possible. The GOP has been using their token non-whites as window dressing for years.

As a friend of mine says: Voting is like driving. If you want to go forward, shift to “D”. If you want to go backwards, go with “R”.

911 is the day the CIA overthrew the government of Chile leading to the deaths of 30 000 dissidents and the subsequent detention and torture of 250 000 in concentration camps.
