when in fact efforts to attract and include them are met with the kind of hostility and contempt on display in this story...

Or when blacks who are Republicans are called Uncle Toms and traitors to their own race. Funny that those belonging to the party of the slave holders are looking at the ones who left it as not fulfilling their true racial identity.

Funny that those belonging to the party of the slave holders are looking at the ones who left it as not fulfilling their true racial identity...I wonder how many of those clinging to the "party of the slave holders" know that their party actually advertised itself as "The White Man's Party" for a period after the Civil War - ironic that some of them accuse other blacks of "acting white" when they engage in such outrageous behavior as trying to earn good grades and do well in school.....
