Nation’s only black Senator not invited to speak at March on Washington
Red Alert Politics ^ | 8-28-2013 | Francesca Chambers

Noticeably absent from the speaker line-up at the Let Freedom Ring event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington today: the nation’s only black Senator, Tim Scott.

Scott, a Republican Representative appointed by S.C. Governor Nikki Haley earlier this year to fill former Sen. Jim DeMint’s seat in the U.S. Senate after he retired, was not invited to participate in the historic event, a spokesperson for the Senator confirmed to Red Alert Politics in an email.

African-American leaders who did receive an invitation to speak at included Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) – who participated in the original March – Martin Luther King III, MSNBC host Al Sharpton and movie stars Jamie Foxx, Oprah Winfrey and Forest Whitaker.

They had to make room for Clinton and Carter. Every Democrat memorial is a “Paul Wellstone memorial”...

>He’s a Republican black....the worst disease of all to those darn racists.<

The epitome of “WORSTNESS” for a Black is being a Black CONSERVATIVE.

It IS equality.

Who was stopping conservatives from holding a demonstration?

“How’s that for “equality”?

They don’t mind lynching a black—as long as he’s a Republican black.

No one is stopping us.

When our Tea Party group has events, we invite speakers who are Conservatives, because Conservatism is the thread that holds us together.

The common denominator for this rally was “freedom” not “liberalism” so one would think any American, from any race, from any political perspective would have been invited.

Obama is a “MULATTO” - doubt it, look up the definition in the dictionary. He is no more black than the man in the moon. It is a falsehood perpetrated on the American Public by the media, Democrats, and liberals.
