Black Republicans.

There's a "school of thought" that's starting to float out there, that makes sense. The information age is great!!! But, anyway...back to my story.

It's basically that the Dem tent is so big, some minority pols don't get the attention or advancement they want, fast enough.

How do you solve that problem? BECOME A REPUBLICAN.

The Republican party is so hostile to people of color, and has been called on it so many times...minorities that choose to run as a Republican, or switch from Dem to Repub, shoot to instant stardom within the party. It's called "personal ambition".

What these Black pols do, really, is serve as "cover".

And Repubs, with their "one-dimensional thinking", are "happy" to have them (as politicians spouting their shit), and tout that as DIVERSITY. "See? We're not racists".

Mitt Romney, is so busy "cultivating his fealty" to the worse elements of the Repub party (because that's just how much electoral trouble he's in), has "outsourced" his "outreach" to his wife (in the case of women and, now, Latinos). She's certainly NOT the best carrier of that particular football...but the campaign has no choice. They've basically admitted as much.

This is not a campaign, or candidate, that speaks to the total American electorate. This is a campaign, that makes no secret about the fact that they have no "deepness to their cause", and have to "assign" people to lure in the "non-male", "non-white" electorate.

That should be the job of the candidate.
 
It's a bit like being a geophysicist and a climate change denier. To make a name for yourself as a geophysicist who supports the consensus on climate change, like 95%+ of your colleagues, you have to be really extraordinary. But if you're just willing to take the other side of the argument, it doesn't really matter if you went to a third-tier university and that you have no papers published in any prestigious journals, and that you haven't put any time in on any major research teams. Simply by taking that contrarian position, you'll be fast-tracked to a position of prominence in the national debate by right-wing think tanks that are desperate for any PhD they can hold out who will argue against the consensus. Suddenly you'll find all sorts of fellowships open to you, paying nice little incomes, funded by the inherited wealth of old money conservatives, you'll have your choice of sinecures, and the news outlets will beat a path to your door to give them the right-wing talking head they need to fit their dueling-expert segments.

Being a black Republican is similar. That doesn't mean that there are no blacks who are Republicans due to deep personal convictions. I'm sure there are. But those convictions sure are more convenient when they fast-track you to positions you'd never even be considered for if you weren't part of such a rare minority group. For example, you'd be hard-pressed to find a less distinguished Supreme Court nominee in modern times than Clarence Thomas. If he'd been a black liberal or white conservative with the same resume, he'd never have even come up in discussions. But as a black conservative, he fit a niche (for GHW Bush, looking to replace Thurgood Marshall with an African American Federalist) that restricted the field of competition so severely that even those mediocre qualifications looked good in context.

Good response Ark! You said that better than I EVER could!
 
indeed, I think the "uncle Tom/aunt Tomasina" rhetoric should be abandoned for something like self-serving political whore.

Careful, stupe. You'll get attacked on the terms you used, but NOT the actual facts that prove it to be true.
 
Wow, you folks are coming unhinged. The list of Democrat racists is growing. First there was Bugsy McKlux, all pissed off because some minorities choose to be Republicans; and now here is Cali CG with the same message. Those Black Folks ought to stay in their place and give up this notion that they have freedom of choice. Democrats give them handouts and now, the ungrateful bastards are going over to the other side,

let them try my friend. I've never been an advocate of their use, which is why I placed them in quotation marks, even though I don't see them as racist terms. They have nothing to do with animus towards or a statement on the inferiority in any way of the black race -- the necessary elements of a racism charge -- and merely point to the type of character inferiority asskissers share across the skin color spectrum that happens to be uniquely "black" in origin. Asskissing dumbasses would work for me too...lol

The reason I prefer that they'd fall into disuse is precisely because they think they can use it in the way you suggested they would.

"Unhinged".

Is that a Frank Luntz word that he lifted from the Dems about Romney?

Because you know, Repubs are more "focused" on words and images that "work", instead of policies that work.

Oh, I hear ya, stupe. I was just thinking like a con. For that, one has to go back to 6th grade.
 
Oops, too late. You've already identified yourself with the human refuse who believe that Black folks are only valuable as long as they vote Democrat. Let one of them assert some leadership qualities and decide to actually earn his own way then...ohfucknooo; he or she is an Uncle Tom.
Tell me Mytzipuke, is Condi Rice the Aunt Tomasina you mentioned?

No one is more racist than you are. You think to etch-a-sketch yourself, JD? Many on PJ may not be aware of your past history but many of us remember quite well.

Cons ALWAYS count on amnesia, and people just being plain old sick and tired of squashing their (decade long) nonsense repeatedly. There's a few of 'em on here, like that.

The irony is actually hypocrisy. Democrat racists pissed off because there are Black folks at the Republican Convention.
Are you of the opinion that Black people, who become Republicans should be ridiculed, belitled and called Uncle Toms and Aunt Tomasinas? Do you believe that, like some of your colleagues do?
 
If that's the case then why is it only your side calling Black Republicans Uncle Toms and Aunt Tomasinas? And why is Obama not running on his record instead of calling names and using words and images that he thinks will help him steal the election?

The "terms" used, were already addressed.

And speaking of "stealing elections". Didja hear that a judge struck down the NEW Floriduh registration rules that would've kept many Dems from being registered and voting?

Uh, oh...SORRY!!! Chew on that!

LOL
