No, y'all haven't been paying attention. The GOP is not colorblind anymore.
We have lost that battle. For instance, this month's National Republican Woman magazine proudly announces the formation of a new organization to be known as the Republican Black Women. In another example, the RNC tried to shove a "Special Outreach to Minority Voters Resolution" (with unlimited costs) down the throats of the NCGOP at their State Convention last year. (Fortunately, one well-spoken delegate pointed out that we are supposed to be the colorblind party, the question was called and the resolution was resoundly defeated.)
We were never been colorblind, at the leadership level, we were just 20 years behind the times.
