Why are racist attacks on black Republicans so underreported by the media?

There has been much written about the racial rhetoric that has permeated political discourse since President Obama took office, and the media often highlights the racially inflammatory language used by some of his opponents. But racially charged language targeting black Republicans rarely receives much coverage, further fueling conservative suspicion of the mainstream media.

I have a better question for you.
Why is it that African Americans as a whole do not get that it is Republicans who are trying to provide jobs and education for them?
While we are at it, why of all the races on earth do African Americans as a whole not see the that Socialism is binding on individual freedom and takes it away in the end?

Since when do political parties provide jobs and education?

The part of this country where Republicans garner the most votes is probably the worst educated part of this country.

And jobs? Outside of the oilfields, I'm not all that impressed by the job growth in that area either. Hell, I'm not impressed with the oilfields either.

I've noticed that the Republican Channel (Fox news) has been making a concerted effort to include blacks and women, in an effort to appeal to their worst demographics.

I think part of the reason blacks don't like Republicans is because they don't want to see even more single moms and disabled people out in the streets, homeless. And no, those groups can't get jobs - childcare costs more than they can afford to pay for from a minimum wage job.

I don't think the media is interested in going crazy publicizing such news stories because there are so many other news stories worth sensationizing to the general public that trumph this.

I have heard a lot of black callers to the Herman Cain radio show call him an "Uncle Tom" among other things.

It's a shame he didn't get the GOP nomination instead of Romney, he was 100X better.

If I wanted a pizza, I'd vastly prefer Cain. Anything else, not a chance.

Oh, but when the unemployment rate drops, even though participations rates are at 40 year lows, it's all Obama!

Like it or not the oil and energy industry provides millions of good paying jobs. I'm sure you're more impressed with green jobs... oh wait, there aren't many!

I love the back peddling and faux rationale.
