First of all, where did I ever say that I'm looking to vote for someone that would help "the black race."

Secondly, in my terms? When did I ever refer to any black man as an "Oreo?"

You white conservatives are incredibly presumptuous. And that's EXACTLY why people find you to be so duplicitous.

He's the Herman Cain of 2016. The sooner I don't have to see, hear, or think about him the better.

Herman Cain was a joke. How anyone can think he knows about the economy when 2 weeks before the biggest crash since the Great Depression he said everything was fine.

He likes his fifteen minutes...And being black, he gets to move to the front of the Republican line...no dues paying.

That's pretty appealing. Who'd give that up?

You're no saint when it comes to being presumptuous. Any regular reader of the P&OC section has seen that on numerous occasions.

I fail to see how Carson's comments are so horrible. Despite my disliking for Sharpton, I'm sure he had good motives at one time; his goals positive. If you look at those goals and say that you agree with them, just not the methods, where is the problem?

Many conservatives like the idea of making sure our fellow man is taken care of in regards to their health. Many of us don't care for the PP&ACA. We have a common goal, but would prefer a different approach. It's the same thing. But because a Republican came out and said it, it's so damning and whatever else. And Fox News reporting on it....oh, so much worse.

In the Democrat Party blacks are “party to the conversation” on policy.
Poser mentality. How are those policies working? Minorities are still getting the short end of the stick and in down times they suffer far worse.

So within Republican circles, legislation that affects blacks are being discussed with very few blacks taking part in said discussion.
LMAO No wonder you bring up the Congressional Black Caucus. They falsely play the race card like you. Being uninformed as you are Corey Booker and Rand Paul are co sponsoring the Redeem Act.

The REDEEM Act proposal would encourage states to raise the age of criminal responsibly to 18 years of age; expunge or seal the records of juveniles who commit non-violent crimes before they turn 15; place limits on the solitary confinement of most juveniles; and establish a system to allow eligible nonviolent criminals to petition a court to ask that their criminal records be sealed. Sealing the records would keep them out of FBI background checks requested by employers and likely make it easier for those former offenders to secure a job.

Paul said that his proposals to overhaul the criminal justice system are "part of the sort of libertarianish message that I’ve always had – that the war on drugs has been unfair and it just turns out that it’s had a real racial component to it."

Cory Booker, Rand Paul team up on sentencing reform bill - The Washington Post

And the CBC has the gall to say Rand Paul is blocking Lynchs appointment because he doesn't want to see a black person get that job. Never mind that theiving big government control freak is bypassing the Constitution and using civil foprfeiture to pump up her record. Lo and behold guess who gets hurt more from these policies? Minorities. Gee I'm shocked.

No you won't. How can you falsely play the race card if you switch?

Please.

We've switched before and we can do so again whenever we feel like it.

If if we need to throw out the race card because it's applicable, we'll do that too.

So...

You're all bark and no bite, desertdetroiter.

Your people have very, very little importance in the grand scheme of affairs. The fact that your people aren't gravely concerned about the illegal (and non-illegal) racial explosion is going to hurt you guys immensely in the future.
