A Group of Black Republican were talking . . .

. . . and NOTHING was said.

It's almost amazing how people just don't realize what 8 years of republican tyranny has done to this country.

If Obama was white, these nimrods still wouldn't vote for him. :smt009

 

The way the GOP treated J.D. Watts,Garry Franks,and others show insensitivity.

 

There are still black Republicans left?

 

GOP blacks: Fewest at convention in 40 years

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Some African-American Republicans have found the Xcel Energy Center depressing. Everywhere they look, they see evidence of what they consider one of their party's biggest shortcomings.

Only 36 of 2,380 delegates seated on the convention floor are black, the fewest since the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies began tracking diversity at political conventions 40 years ago. \

Each night, the overwhelmingly white audience watches a series of white politicians step to the lectern — a visual reminder that no black Republican has served as a governor, U.S. senator or U.S. House member in the past six years.

"It's hard to look around and not get frustrated," said Michael Steele, a black Republican and former lieutenant governor of Maryland. "You almost have to think, 'Wait. How did it come to this?' "

Nationally, two-thirds of Americans are non-Hispanic whites, 12.4 percent are black and 14.8 percent are Hispanic, according to the Census Bureau's 2006 numbers.

What I find amusing about that video is that the guy immediately attacked Obama saying "he hasnt done anything." (Actually Obama has introduced and had passed legislation to reform federal lobbying and the dismantling of nuclear weapons.)

But when askedd about palin, the black republican said, "she stood up for something." :smt017 (I guess thats the conservative way of saying she hasnt done anything,)

The simple fact is no one cares what bills or legislation their favorite candidate has passed so long as that person shares the same ideas as they do.

 

Basically they sounded like a group of brainwashed robots. :smt045

 

Saw the state roll call for nomination and I saw like one or two blacks among the delegates. For example I saw a sister on the Mississippi delegation. Obama crossed party lines where blacks are concerned.

 

These people are seriously talking about voting for a man who's state was the last to ratify the MLK holiday.

Every African-American who doesn't vote for Obama should be haunted by all the ghosts of his or her lynched, beaten, enslaved and Jim Crowed ancestors and die 1000 deaths just like they did, in pain and suffering, on and on through eternity.

Yes it's just that deep.

 

Instead of making history some will be stuck on stupid. The GOP has left the Black-American long ago.

 

If this were 1868 instead of 2008, these would be the people who'd be heartbroken that slavery was over. They'd be like: "what we gonna do now?", "We actually have to think and make our own decisions", or "It's gonna feel strange to not be thought of as property".

Believe it or not, that same mentality exists today. :smt009

 

Co-sign like a motherfucker.

 

The Republicans of 1868 are not the ones in 2008.

 

Exactly!!! Back then, THEY were all democrats. Not a lot of people are hip to this fact. :smt045

 

Back in 1868 there was Reconstruction and there were a number of Black Republicans in Congress and Legislatures in the South. They had their back. Today,there are no Black members of Congress who are Republican and the GOP don't give a rat's behind in outreach.
