Despite allegations of racism in Tea Party organizations, the Republican Party, and conservative groups, 2010 has witnessed more black Republican activism than ever before. Thirty-seven African Americans in 16 states have been in contention for seats in the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives this year.

Fox News reports, “The Republican Party is hoping to put a record number of African Americans in Congress after Tuesday’s election; despite the fact the first black president is highly unpopular within the party.”

Obama is bi racial, not black.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have one more black conservative in Congress than black liberal and have the conservatives take over the so-called Black Caucus?

File this under 'Headlines you won't see in the NYT'.

Move along... no punchlines for Bill Maher or John Stewart here.

Oh, yeah, we're racists, we are....

Sooner or later that old dog ain't gonna hunt, and people will wake up.

(btw, the black conservatives running are as sharp as any candidates in the field. It's going to be tough for the MSM to refute the reality of what's happening because of the Tea Party movement.

Why does this matter? We are the party that doesn’t take a persons skin color into account. Unlike the Dumocraps. All we care about is that persons ability to do the job. Race should never matter. It only matters to those who wish to divide this great republic!

I think we’re going to get a pretty impressive number of conservative Hispanics in, too. What are they to the left, Uncle Pedros?

Obama, who he is and what he is, is EXACTLY why the Founding Fathers made it a requirement that those would seek the highest office in the land were natural born citizens. Obama is not, and it's abundantly clear why that's important. Talk about irony!
