Republicans continually have to come up with all these excuses and "reverse-racism" crap, 'cuz its the only way they can avoid the obvious... which is that minorities just don't like like them!

And who can blame 'em, when they see an entire political party campaigning on a platform based on the "Southern Strategy", rampant xenophobia, and fostering intense hatred towards the POTUS for being a "lazy, shiftless, welfare President" and an "uppity muslim Kenyan"?!

You make a great point and it's obviously racism. If there were a National Association for the Advancement of White People or a white Miss America or a White Entertainment Television, etc. a lot of people would flip their lids.

The sad thing to me is that there are many Christian conservative black people who will carry the Obama torch even though they are against abortion and gay marriage. There is an on-going effort of black pastors trying to help people understand this and get them to vote on issues and not race. There are a lot of good speeches on youtube if anyone is interested.

Freud would have a hayday with this racial crap. lol
Romney described a convention full of professional Blacks as people looking for more free stuff from the gov't...

Explain to me the context in which that comment makes sense? What's the basis for saying that working people are looking for free stuff from the gov't?

Have you ever asked yourself why most Blacks don't vote Republican in ANY election since the 1960s?

Yes, especially considered that democrats are the ones who hung them from trees and tried to suppress their freedom. Democrats simply changed tactics from holding them down by force, to holding them back by making as many as possible dependent on the government and unable to achieve the American Dream.

The Black’s Plague: How Liberal Apologists Ensure Inequality for African Americans
LBJ's War on Poverty has kept blacks down ever since the 60's.

When you create dependency, the hand that feeds you won't be bitten. The dems know that very well. The successful blacks know that very well.

Things such as affirmative action don't help, the successful blacks have worked hard, studied hard and earned what they have. They do not want someone to think they were given a chance because the workplace, classroom needed a token black guy.

All racial groups in America have suffered in one way or another at some point, look at the anti-Chinese acts or the Japanese being sent to camps. What did they do? They went out and worked hard, they stressed education and hard work, not hand outs and a feel sorry for yourself attitude.

I would venture to say that there are a lot of blacks who vote Republican, it's just not known openly.

Let's face it, the left has slowly, imperceptibly morphed into a range of racist proclivities. Things that a Bill Cosby or Juan Williams can get away with saying set off a firestorm if, say, a Bill Bennet, Bill O'Reilly, or even worse, Rush Limbaugh, say them. What else is it but racism when permission to speak is predicated on one's skin color?

One of the big issues I have with this topic is that republicans keep trying tell us that democrats hold us back and we should join their party. How do they do this, by calling us lazy, studpid, brainwashed, free loaders. Then when they say or something we feel is racist, they simply just say we are complaining and whining or simply ignore us.

This is what started Blacks voting Democrat in the 60s. They were the ones who got the Voting Rights Act passed. It happened under LBJ.
