The best thing one can say about the distinct minority in question is that they have an overly defeatist attitude.
The worst is that they don't want to work towards fulfilling the promise of America, as invisioned by the Republican Party, with partners of a different color.
As Donna would say, I'm trending towards the second opinion. And it really kills me to say that.
Hey, I'll come out and flatly say it. We've got a few intolerant racist bigots in the Republican party. With work, we can shun them out.
But there are far more of them among the Dems, and people like Brazile and Sharpton are flaming examples. I believe if they were white, they'd have a sheet and hood in their closet. Byrd probably still does.
What I can't understand is, after the centuries of damage that making distinctions based on skin color has caused to blacks, why do they tolerate such racists in their ranks and promote them as leaders?
