Friendswood physician Robin Armstrong, a former medical missionary in Africa, recently was re-elected vice chairman of the Texas Republican Party, the only black person to serve in one of the state party's top two positions during the 20th and 21st centuries.
Q: Affirmative action, what about that? A: I don't think it's a policy that's really necessary, and I think Barack Obama is a good example of that. People generally want to be helpful to minorities and want to see them succeed on their own. Sure, racism is out there, but I don't think that is the majority of people in the United States at all.

I have yet to find something not to like about Dr. Armstrong. Wish there were many more like him around!

“Sure, racism is out there, but I don’t think that is the majority of people...”
There ya go— Something NoBombo and his hate mongering preacher should have been saying all along.
But no, the so-called victims want to remain so-called victims.

When do you think they will discover this?;^)
Currently, Texas is the only state to have 3 African Americans serving in statewide office—all are Republicans: Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson, Texas Supreme Court Justice Dale Wainwright, and Railroad Chairman Michael Williams.
