Republican Party Chairman Ed Gillespie, who has been touring the country with Black boxing promoter Don King, says he’s working to prove that the Republicans are serious about the Black vote.
Just when you thought Al Gore's youth oriented cable news network was the worst idea you ever heard. Leave it to the lilly white Gillespie to tour the country with a convicted felon who enriched himself pillaging black boxers and throwing them to side of the road after their careers were shot. If the Dems can't make a metaphor out of this, they are more inept than I thought.
He has further alienated Blacks with appointment of Far Right judges and his pledge to fill any Supreme Court vacancies with judges similar to Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia, the two most conservative members of the court
Uh...and what race is Clarence Thomas again? Thomas may want to change his name to something more ethnic because once again, the left fails to mention his race in the article. Justice Shabazz K. Thomas.
At the Republican convention in Philadelphia four years ago, the GOP hired many Black entertainers and attempted to showcase Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, who became the two most prominent Blacks in the Bush administration.
I am surprised the article doesn't mention how the RNC made Condi and Colin do a stepinfetchit routine at the Convention. I would think two qualified blacks (whose race is never mentioned except in articles such as this) at the upper echelon of the administration would constitute a little more than showcasing. They seem to actually be governing at the highest level. Showcasing was Clinton trotting out Vernon Jordan every time he needed a photo op.
“Nixon was the first one to provide money for desegregation. Nixon was the first one to go after providing money to historically Black colleges and universities and he had a program to deal with Black folks,” Bins says.
Yeah, Nixon was a real paragon of race relations. Why don't we set the Republicans relationship with Blacks back another 40 years? But that Bush ought to just put a white sheet over his head.
It says a lot about the Democratic Party as well since we don’t have any Blacks in the Senate, but it just shows it’s just far worse in the Republican Party since they don’t have any in the House as well as the Senate,” says Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.).
Uhhh, yeah would that because your party, Mr. Rangel, spent an ungodly amount of money to defeat Gary Franks in Connecticut and then when it was clear there was no way JC Watts would lose his House seat, your spent attempted to demonize him the same way you demonize Clarence Thomas?
They had one, boy was she pathetic. LOL!
Maybe Cain in GA may be another GOP anomaly.
I wonder how they'll splain that one, seriesly?
