REPUBLICAN RACISM
The GOP has gone to great lengths to try and show black faces among a sea of white faces at the Republican National Convention. But what they hope you don’t hear about is a racial event that could set their minority recruitment efforts back to square one.
On Tuesday, 2 people were ejected from the convention floor when they threw peanuts at an African-American camera woman working with CNN, saying “this is how we feed animals.”
“CNN can confirm there was an incident directed at an employee inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum” the network said yesterday. “CNN worked with convention officials to address this matter and will have no further comment.”
Several witnesses observed the exchange and convention security personnel immediately removed the 2 delegates from the forum. “Two attendees tonight exhibited deplorable behavior. Their conduct was inexcusable and unacceptable. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated,” convention organizers said.
With only 2 months to go before the general election, this is certainly not the type of incident Mitt Romney or the Republican Party wants lingering over their heads. The GOP has long been considered the “party of white men” and has struggled to attract African American and Hispanic voters. This sort of incident only plays directly into the concept that the Republican Party attracts and appeals to racists and is not for minorities.
That RACIST woman holding her sign is the poster-child for the Republican Party going back, at least, to Nixon.And quite frankly I think it's way past time for Republicans….and even some Dems who are closet RACISTS…to come out into the light. The truth is, if I have to deal with a RACIST, this woman is the kind I'd rather face. She's OUT in the open. Her ignorance and Hatred are on full-display for ALL the world to see. I know where I stand with her. I don't have to wonder. She is Nixon's Southern Strategy is FULL effect and a PERFECT representation of today's GOP.
