enlighten me...

I think this post from another thread, about Michelle Bachmann....sums it up very well and it's true. Why does the GOP stay 95% white? Can't win with those kind of #'s (at least for the long run as the US becomes less white). 2 black GOPers elected last year, doesn't make up for 25 years with only 1 being elected in Congress before that (JC Watts)....

They really have no idea how to appeal to minorities and that's a high problem with the gop. I think they need to fix this issue and learn a little more about those who aren't white.

Dems destroy them on this and when the Dems use the race card against the gop, even if it's filled with non facts Dems get the benefit of the doubt.



Why do the Dems get the benefit of a doubt on this?
I don't see them putting out songs like Barack the Magic Negro.

Nah, the Dems get the benefit of the doubt because they prey on the weak minded who believe such clap trap. Here is the reality of the cultural reference you site.


Barack the Magic Negro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The magical Negro is an archetype which was first applied to presidential candidate Obama by movie and culture critic, David Ehrenstein, in a Los Angeles Times op ed column of March 19, 2007. According to Ehrenstein, the magical Negro is a non threatening black hero in the popular media, usually the cinema, who was invented to ease feelings of white guilt over slavery and racial injustice. He is noble and devoid of sexual motives, and appears suddenly, out of nowhere, to magically solve the problems of white people."

I can't speak for the GOP leadership, but if I was in charge I wouldn't pander to any group but Americans.

If pandering to minorities with promises of more unearned or undeserved entitlements is what it takes for Conservatives to make progress gaining minority votes I'd rather do without their votes.
