Today, Democrats, in pursuit of their socialist agenda, are fighting to keep blacks poor, angry and voting for Democrats. Examples of how egregiously Democrats act to keep blacks in poverty are numerous. -snip- Democrats have been running our inner-cities for the past 30 to 40 years, and blacks are still complaining about the same problems. More than $7 trillion dollars have been spent on poverty programs since Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty with little, if any, impact on poverty. Diabolically, every election cycle, Democrats blame Republicans for the deplorable conditions in the inner-cities, then incite blacks to cast a protest...

Allen West, a retired Army colonel who is running for the second time against Democratic Rep. Ron Klein in Florida's 22nd congressional district, West, is one of a small but determined group of black Republicans running for seats in the U.S. Senate or House of Representatives in 2010. When former President Jimmy Carter said racism was an underlying factor in attacks on President Obama, it's safe to say he had no intention of boosting Allen West's campaign for Congress in Florida's Broward County. But according to West, a retired Army colonel who is running for the second time against Democratic...

Frances Rice, founder of the National Black Republican Association found a video that once again exposes the fraud and hypocrisy of the liberal mainstream Manhattan Mob media. During the 2008 Democratic National convention Carter was a commentator. When asked about Obama he referred to him as this "black boy." Yet, there was no chorus of righteous indignation as there was when Ross Perot referred to an audience of African-Americans as "you people." Rice writes on her blog http://blackrepublican.blogspot.com/ : " Carter’s racial slur earned him not one word of condemnation. If a Republican politician had called Obama a “black boy”,...

Vitiligo is a skin disorder that gained notoriety for being the cause of Micheal Jackson’s loss of skin color. I think I have discovered a condition that a lot of Black Republicans/Conservatives seem to have, Mental Vitiligo(M.V.).

I know it's over nine months after the election, but I'm still curious: Does anyone have any statistics showing what percentage of black REPUBLICANS voted for Obama? In the absence of statistics, does anyone want to take a guess?

(Received From Email) IS OBAMA A RACIST? By Frances Rice How do we decide who is a racist? The dictionary tells us a racist harbors feelings of antagonism and superiority based on biological differences, such as skin color. So, what demonstrates that President Barack Obama harbors such feelings toward white people? Glimpses of Obama’s mindset can be obtained from reading his two books, “The Audacity of Hope” and “Dreams from My Father” where Obama describes his animosity toward white people. In “Dreams from My Father” Obama wrote: "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity...

The controversial message was pulled down over the weekend by the billboard's owner, SignAd, in response to intense media coverage and criticism from activists such as Quanell X, according to the leader of the conservative grassroots group that sponsored the billboard.

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says the GOP and the NAACP have missed opportunities to engage with each other. Steele addressed the NAACP convention on Tuesday. The organization is celebrating its 100th anniversary this week in New York City. Steele is the first African-American head of the RNC. He says he's committed to building a relationship between the two groups. President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak to the convention on Thursday.

HOUSTON - Loud voices, finger pointing, and name calling erupted under a billboard bearing the image of a man who dreamed of peace Friday. The billboard and its claim that Martin Luther King Jr. was a republican is the brainchild of Apostle Claver Kamau-Imani, founder of Houston-based RagingElephants.org , a grass roots group hoping to appeal to minorities. "We're going to make a very earnest serious aggressive attempt to lure them to the conservative voting base," Kamau-Imani said. But not everyone agrees. "Dr. King may have supported some of the principles-- anti-abortion, same-sex marriage--I understand that,” community activist Quanell X...

Video at site Lyndon Johnson led the Great Society. Barack Obama leads the Great Big Apology Society. So it’s only natural that the National Black Republican Association (all twelve members) believe the President should apologize to them for the Democrat Party’s long, sordid history of racism. They call the Democrat Party “the party of the four S’s: Slavery, Secession, Segregation, and now Socialism.” And they want President Obama to issue that apology ASAP. “The Democratic Party Owes Blacks an Apology” by Chairman Frances Rice, explains their reasoning. As the Examiner reports: The NBRA is not asking this of our government,...

Janeane Garofalo in her disgusting interview with MSNBC's Keith Olbermann last month said anybody at April's Tea Parties that wasn't white had to be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. On Friday, Barbara Howard, a black, Republican media and government relations consultant from Florida, took on this absurd stereotype -- "I dare say that Miss Garofalo knows little or nothing about black folk and definitely not black Republicans" -- while claiming President Obama "thinks he knows more than everybody, including all 43 presidents before him." In a South Florida Times op-ed marvelously titled "The Politics of Blackness: A Little Knowledge is a...

Saturday, for the first time in the history of Galveston County, an African-American woman was elected mayor. Geraldine Sam, 57, a lifelong resident of La Marque and an educator, edged two challengers to take her place in history by the narrowest of margins. “I cannot even describe how I feel,” Sam said, while celebrating with family and friends at a restaurant. “I was trying to eat earlier, and I can’t even eat. It’s amazing. Just awesome.” Sam received 355 votes, outlasting challengers James Osteen, 316 votes, and Bill Charbonneau, 289 votes, according to complete, unofficial results. Sam, who will serve...

Steele Trap: Would GOP Dump Its First Black Party Boss? Michael Steele's critics are threatening a revolt if he doesn't improve his performance as GOP boss. But they may find that removing the party's first black chairman is easier said than done. By Stephen Clark FOXNews.com Friday, March 13, 2009 Pressure is mounting on Michael Steele to straighten up and fly right after stumbling out of the gate as the chairman of the Republican Party. Conservatives are losing patience with him. Democrats are predicting his ouster. And Republicans, the people he serves, say he is spending too much time in...

Last week, Michael Steele made history as the first African-American elected chairman of the Republican Party. Although the GOP is currently the minority party in our two-party system, Chairman Steele takes the reins at a moment of tremendous opportunity. Mr. Steele’s publicly expressed commitment to conservative principles and the platform of the party, led me to urge the GOP leadership to elect him as chairman. January 29 and 30 were rollercoaster days for all of us running to become the next chairman of the GOP. We appeared before the members of the Republican National Committee, making our case about how...

The associated press is discussing the first black RNC Chairman. "The Republican Party chose the first black national chairman in its history Friday, just shy of three months after the nation elected a Democrat as the first African-American president." Steele is black, Obama is Africa-American. The thing about this is that the media refers to all black people as African-American instead of black because calling them black is considered insulting by the people who change the rules every few weeks. Am I reading too much into this, or is this done as an insult?

Washington, DC (AHN) - Beating out opponent South Carolina GOP chairman Katon Dawson 91 to 77, Michael Steele, the first African American elected to statewide office in Maryland, has won election as chairman of the Republican National Committee. A former lieutenant governor in Maryland, Steele will replace Mike Duncan, who dropped out of the balloting earlier today. Michigan GOP chairman Saul Anuzis also dropped out of contention for the Republican National Committee chairman because of the rationale, "Can't win. I know how to count." The race was headed into a sixth ballot with 85 votes needed to win. On the...

Google News labeled a photo of Michael Steele as just "Afro American." What would happen if a conservative news organization labeled photo of Barack Obama as "Afro American". They took it down but you can see the image through the link.

It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S's: Slavery, Secession, Segregation and now Socialism. It was the Democrats who fought to keep blacks in slavery and passed the discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws. The Democrats started the...

Petition to Barack Hussein Obama for a Proclamation of Apology for the Democratic Party's 150-year History of Racism We, black American citizens of the United States and the National Black Republican Association, declare and assert: WHEREAS, the healing of wounds begins with an apology, and the Democratic Party has never apologized for their horrific atrocities and racist practices against black Americans during the past 150 years, nor held accountable for the residual impact that those atrocities and practices are having on us today, WHEREAS, as a result of the 1898 Wilmington Race Riot Commission Report of May 31, 2006, the...

Texas Republican Party Chairman Tina Benkiser has teamed up with Ohio´s Ken Blackwell in the contest to lead the Republican National Committee over the next two years. The Washington Times has learned Mrs. Benkiser has decided to forgo a run for RNC national chairman and instead to run for co-chairman, a traditionally less powerful position that historically, with one exception, has been held by a woman. “If I ran for chairman, I decided after looking over the field, it might contribute to dividing the conservative vote and allowing a moderate to win,” she told The Times in a phone interview...

CNSNews.comQ&A with Michael Steele, Candidate for RNC ChairmanTuesday, December 16, 2008 By Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, chairman of GOPAC, the Republican Party’s political action committee (CNSNews.com/ Penny Starr)  (CNSNews.com) – Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele is already working to put Republicans in office as chairman of GOPAC, the party’s political action committee.   Now he hopes to take the helm of the Republican National Committee (RNC), a chairmanship he is vying for against as many as nine other party loyalists.   A self-described “pro-life Catholic,� Steele has been criticized for some remarks...

Blackwell enters GOP chairman race By Reid Wilson Posted: 12/05/08 04:58 PM [ET] The race for Republican National Committee chairman got more crowded Friday as a prominent conservative made a splashy entrance. Former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, who has strong ties to the party’s conservative wing, is the latest candidate to declare for the position, doing so Friday in an email to RNC members. Touting himself as a strong fundraiser with electoral experience and a vision for the future of the party (as well as a part-owner of the Cincinnati Reds baseball team), Blackwell promised to pull no...

The National Black Republican Association has issued a petition to Barack Hussein Obama, the leader of the Democratic Party, requesting that Obama issue a formal proclamation of apology for the Democratic Party's 150-year history of racism.

Election night was a bittersweet night for me. Like most Americans, and especially as an African American, I found it deeply moving to watch President-elect Barack Obama and his family -- soon to be our nation's first African American first family -- stride onstage for his victory speech. I welcome the positive role models they'll present to black families and the American public at large. But as a black Republican, I was chagrined that the political party I've belonged to for 20 years had just suffered a blistering electoral defeat. And that along the way, it had lost 96 percent...

The election of Barack Hussein Obama, the first man of African decent elected President of the United States, will provide continuous changes for a very long time. Gone now is the handy excuse many Blacks have used for refusing to act and speak like members of our American society. “It’s not worth my even trying because ‘the man’ will never let me get ahead” died on Nov 4, 2008. ‘The man’ actually elected a Black Commander in Chief, so demanding Ebonics as the price for school attendance is over. The days of Black self imposed isolation from American society are...

Republican Tim Scott of Charleston County has made South Carolina history, becoming the first black GOP member to win a House seat in about 100 years. But three other black GOP candidates were unsuccessful in their bids to join Scott in the House. Scott, chairman of Charleston County Council, ran unopposed. Tuesday’s election was a formality for the small business owner running to represent House District 117, which covers portions of Berkeley and Charleston counties. Click here to find out more! His win puts South Carolina on par with Georgia, the only other Deep South state with black Republicans in...

It is an obvious understatement to say last night was an historic one for our country. But something remarkable happened for the Republican party in Michigan that many might have overlooked. For the first time in over 100 years, voters elected a black Republican to the House of Representatives. Michigan, in fact, elected two black Republicans - Larry DeShazor and Paul Scott. I heard one lady in Chicago's Grant Park last night say, "Now, blacks have shown they can do anything!" Indeed, but this truism is something the party of Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr. have believed for...

On Thursday’s Countdown show on MSNBC, New York Times columnist Frank Rich charged that it looks "morally bad" and "idiotic" that Republicans have not elected a black candidate to federal office in six years. The Republican party also seemed to remind Rich of South Africa’s racist Apartheid policy of the past: "The fact is, this isn`t South Africa 25 years ago, this is a major political party that is essentially all white. And the hierarchy of it is definitely white. There hasn`t been a new black Republican elected to federal office, I think, in six years. And so, what does...

The African American community should learn from the way Jews appreciate their historical struggles, legendary boxing promoter Don King said in Tel Aviv on Monday. Sporting a sparkling, studded denim jacket and his trademark hairstyle, which is now a little shorter and greyer, the flamboyant King is here as a guest speaker at the Peres Center for Peace's 10th anniversary event. The world's most successful boxing promoter told The Jerusalem Post he had attended many Seder nights and had always been impressed by the way Jewish communities connected to their past. "I love Israel and I love the Jewish people....

I am just showing some love to a fellow former Seminole, Peter Boulware, who had a stellar career as a Baltimore Raven after his All-America days at FSU. Peter has returned to Tallahassee with his family, where he is part owner and vice-president of a small business (Legacy Toyota), and he is running as a Republican for a state house seat that hasn't gone Republican in generations. From a quick reading through his website, it's apparent that he hasn't taken public positions on many policy issues. Hopefully seeing support from conservative voters will help to shape some of his positions....

I don't know who this very articulate young man is, but in 9 minutes he successfully encapsulated the entire state of American politics today, as well as the absolute hypocrisy of the Democratic party and the moral corruption of liberal ideology. Enjoy! PS. Funny, I got the URL reading a blog from an extremely liberal Canadian newspaper! Truth hides in strange places...

This is disturbing. I just tried to visit http://www.nationalblackrepublicans.com and find that the site is down. Is this just regular maintenance to their site, or did the thugs at the DNC and ACORN get to them too?

Obama is the greatest THREAT to the Constitution, liberty, freedom and the Bill of Rights to ever run for the office of President. Only Obamabots can be so ignorant as to overlook his questionable associations, corruption, lies, and outright lack of experience. Obama taught constitutional law, yet he supports the Fairness Doctrine and harsh gun control laws? WHICH Constitution, Mr Obama? Certainly not that of the United States!

At a fundraiser in Jacksonville, Florida, Senator Barack Obama displayed his hypocrisy when he played the race card against Republicans, while whining that he expects Republicans to play the race card against him. This dishonest tactic is straight out of the Democratic Party’s race-baiting political playbook. Since Obama wants the American people to believe he is disgusted by racism, we call upon Obama to condemn his fellow Democrats for their Jim Crow-style racist attacks against black Republicans because we do not adhere to the Democratic Party’s liberal agenda. More specifically, we ask Obama to condemn Democrat Senator Joe Biden who...

Far from being the post-racial campaign that pundits have talked and written about for months, this election cycle is proving to be the most racialized ever. Every word, gesture, act or omission is scrutinized by the media for double-meaning or racial undertones. But when we move beyond race and talk about what really matters -– the qualities we all seek in a president –- things become clearer. Senator John McCain is the best man for the job.

The barbs have become like a soundtrack in Richard Ivory's life: Uncle Tom, sellout, self-hater...

Very smart guy, challenges other blacks to stop the group think.

BLUEFIELD — Democrat Natalie Tennant and Republican Charles Minimah are vying Nov. 4 for the position of Secretary of State. Both candidates met with members of the Daily Telegraph editorial board last week, where they discussed a variety of issues ranging from local election night problems in Mercer County to addressing voter apathy in the Mountain State. Betty Ireland, the incumbent Secretary of State, isn’t seeking re-election. Tennant, a former television reporter and anchor, now operates Wells Media Group with her husband Sen. Eric Wells, D-Kanawha. A graduate of West Virginia University, Tennant is a former candidate for the Secretary...

The Senate galleries were packed, filled with both black and white spectators, and a murmur filled the air as the nation's first black member of Congress, Sen. Hiram Revels, stood to deliver his first speech to the chamber. Nearly 140 years before Sen. Barack Obama's historic quest to become the nation's first black president, Revels captivated a nation in the midst of social upheaval following the Civil War. The date was March 16, 1870, less than five years after the 13th Amendment abolished slavery.

There are over 200 black newspapers in this country, hundreds more black-owned or black-operated radio stations, black TV and black Internet blogs. Additionally, there are black radio and TV programs on white radio and TV stations, all of which promote their very existence as being to provide news, lifestyle and entertainment about the black community to the black community. We all love black media for giving us what the white media could never give us – information from a black point of view, which is sometimes 180 degrees from a white point of view. Yet there is a segment of...

Blacks and persons of color, in prominent roles either as delegates or party officials at last week's 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, talked to the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder about why they are proud of being a Republican. The GOP's Renee Amoore was a featured speaker at the convention. She has been a force to be reckoned with throughout the state of Pennsylvania as well as nationally and internationally. Her life has been full of firsts, including being the first Black ever elected to the Upper Merion (Pennsylvania) School District: first as vice president, then as president when her predecessor...

There is such a thing as a black Republican, but they have been all but invisible at the party's national convention which is hardly representative of America's diverse population.

There is such a thing as a black Republican, but they have been all but invisible at the party's national convention which is hardly representative of America's diverse population. Among the party's 2,380 delegates gathered in St. Paul only 36 are African Americans and very few other visible minorities were to be found on the convention floor.

For 50 years Lula Bridges, a black resident of Macon County, Ala., was a Democrat. But in March, she switched political sides when she realized no social or economic progress had been made in her hometown, a heavily black Democratic stronghold that suffers from high rates of poverty. "At that moment, I said I'm coming out of the closet," she said. Bridges joined blacks from across the country at a Thursday reception linked to the GOP convention. There, guests shared their Republican pride and their mixed emotions about Barack Obama’s historic candidacy. "I'm proud to say that I like Barack...

There is nothing unusual about Republican Clarence McKee's criticism of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. "He's not ready to be president of the United States because he lacks wisdom," said McKee on Tuesday. McKee added that Republican running mate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin "has more experience and leadership abilities that Barack Obama." What runs counter to conventional political wisdom is that McKee, a Florida delegate to the Republican National Convention this week, is black. As Obama's campaign makes history as the nation's first black presidential candidate, polls show more than 90 percent of black voters nationally plan to vote for...
