Mia Love is the embodiment of Dr. King's dream, but many are too blinded and never notice it. Those that judge people based on an expectation of thinking and behavior because of their skin color - not so much.
First off, she is not to blame for whatever you think her parents did. This is also not her first shot at running for public office. Lastly, she is where she is because of who she has become as a person.
In her own words" I was a miracle and our family's ticket to America".
Her parents reportedly arrived with $10 in their pockets, on tourist visas and left their other two children behind in Haiti. Presumably her parents were employed despite their lack of a green card. Her birth enabled a green card and the family to bring over their two other children. Given her own family history, it seems her zero tolerance on illegal immigration is inconsistent with her own parent's actions, almost 40 years ago.
Her position on Federal student loans/ grants is inconsistent with her own education and outstanding loans.
Parroting the CATO/ Koch playbook is unremarkable unless one is a black woman with a degree in
"Performing Arts", in a mostly white state.
It's not clear to me how one advocates for a balanced federal budget while remaining silent on Defence and Medicare.
There is no shortage of people who anonymously rant and rave about politicians on Internet Forums and Comment Pages. Sometimes it's racially motivated and sometimes, not.
I guess my question would be,"what narcissistic idiots use twitter?"...that has always bothered me for some reason...FB is bad enough,but twitter? Jeez people.
coincidence that white males repeatedly point out mia love is black, even though they say they supposedly don't care about race?
No it's not a coincidence, it's a /response/reaction to the constant claims from those who do care about race.

Let me get this straight. Party 1 makes a claim of racism. Party 2 either has to let it go or defend themselves. If they defend it by pointing to evidence contrary to the claim, then that's racist because they pointed it out?
You are correct, if not asked to point out "a black gop congresswoman" or accused of racism, race would not be mentioned - that's the whole point - the gop otherwise would not have discussed race.
Black conservatives get railroaded out of town by their own race and the sympathetic voices in the media.
