Here's a billboard going up around the twin cities in anticipation of the GOP convention. I wonder how many faces we'll see on the convention floor that aren't white?

ahh republicans are racist?
Is there some quota that must be met to make you happy?
I think you know the answer to that question, they certainly appeal to that segment of society. However, continue your denial if it makes you feel better.
No, but the sight of the traditional all white GOP convention is most telling. It also confirms what I have stated previously...the Republican Party is a safe haven for racists.

It only becomes racist if they actively block any "colored" people from attending or forcibly keep them out of the party. None of which is true.
And for being a party of racists, it is interesting that we had Rice and Powell.

School board members? Vice Mayors? Had to dig deep didn't you? Man, all you're doing is making my point....the GOP is shockingly devoid of black faces. Show me a governor, a senator, a house member.
All your party ever points to is Powell, Rice, and Clarence Thomas...Wow! Three whole black faces, what a triumph! Meanwhile the fact remains that presently there is not even one elected black governor, senator or house member from the Republican Party.
That's hardly a coincidence, starting with Nixon's southern strategy the GOP became the party that condoned racism and happily accepted the racist vote.
I guess you're not able to see bold print....![]()
And I guess you need to take a class in reading comprehension, I mean on the federal level. Those that you highlighted are all state offices and even then you're still in single digits. I'll make myself clearer...show me a black Republican governor or a black Republican member of Congress.
