And while you are at it, explain how a black man (Ben Carson) was almost in first place early on in the GOP primary.

Because the Republicans want some black votes (and don't have any shame)? Ya think?


If two Hispanics are tying for second place, how can republicans be the party of racists NOW?

If two HINO's are tying for second place, Republicans absolutely be the party of racists NOW.

Oh, you mean because some republican wingnut said something racist at sometime, like all the democrat Wingnut minorities who spout anti-white racism???

No, because Republican wingnuts DO racist things all the time. What Democrat Wingnut minorities? Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson? That's all you've got?

I asked you for FACTS, not your opinion that the Republicans are the party of racists.
Google the word FACT for a definition.

Your naivete is laughable. Most minorities look at the Republican party - delegates, candidates, party leaders - and don't see anyone who looks like themselves.

Hmmm... you don't see that as a problem? You don't see that American blacks ARE, in fact, different in every way, from any other racial or ethnic group in America? You don't see that blacks... American blacks, have, in fact, been cruelly victimized, still are, and as a result have a host of "special needs"? So... if Trump wants to ignore the obvious... who am i... it will cost black votes. Maybe he has run the numbers and figures he can win with the overwhelming majority of non-black humanage in America. We'll see.

Just saying the GOP is the party of racists NOW doesn't make it true. All the factual evidence is to the contrary.

The most segregated schools are in blue states
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...youd-expect-2/

Chicago: America's most segregated city - Jan. 5, 2016

Is segregation not racist now? Have Dems changed their mind on that?

Plus, there's this:

Younger and more educated Blacks are moving to the South for better opportunities:
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/25/us/25south.html

And this:
Quote:
"Pro-voucher voters among racial minorities overwhelmingly support Barack Obama, but they are baffled by the Democratic nominee's opposition to vouchers. They also say they are frustrated that Democratic leaders appear to be more concerned about keeping the peace with teachers unions --which adamantly oppose vouchers-- than about finding alternatives that could advance desperately needed education reforms for minority students.

...Public opinion polls also show solid support for school vouchers among minority parents. Sixty-five percent of adult African-Americans and 63 percent of adult Hispanics favor the use of vouchers, according to a national survey conducted earlier this year under the auspices of the journal Education Next and the Program on Education Policy and Governance at Harvard University. In the survey, more than half of minority adults gave higher marks to their local police than their public schools."There is no doubt that on this issue, ...Obama has it wrong," Martin wrote."
http://www.dfer.org/2008/10/obama_questione.php

And look at the result that yields...

U.S. public schools educate only 26% of all public school students to even basic grade-level proficiency in math, 38% in reading, by 12th grade.

NAEP - Mathematics and Reading 2013

That in and of itself is bad enough, but pay very careful attention to the much lower basic proficiency percentages for Black students.

Black students' basic math proficiency percentage by 12th grade: 7%
Basic reading proficiency percentage by 12th grade: 16%

Are Blacks inherently less intelligent than everyone else? I don't think so. Or are Democrats insisting on keeping them trapped in subpar public schools and therefore ensuring they're kept dumb, poor, and therefore voting for Democrats for life/generations? Think very carefully about which political party is the real oppressor.

But, hey, as a top 5% white person (your disclosure), that works for you, doesn't it?

1. GWB won the 2000 election with 9% of the black vote. Republicans don't need our votes.

2. But how many Democratic candidates were minorities??

3. Racist republican wingnuts do racist stuff like what?

First of all, why do minorities have to vote for someone that looks like them? Second, why where the presidential candidates for the Republicans more diverse than the Democrats? Third, is either Hillary or Bernie a minority?

If you took all the minorities and had them vote Democrat, then took all the whites and had them vote Republican, GOP would win in a landslide every time. Probably around 70/30.

But Hillary and Bernie look more like those minorities than Carson, Rubio, Cruz, or Jindal.....
LOL
