Diversity at the Republican convention

[Pandora]

I think its strange to notice skin color like that. The only time I ever noticed skin color was when I was in the Denver airport and I noticed all the maids and lower level workers were black and spanish and anther time I was in a grocery store in Tulsa Oklahomea and while in the checkout line i realized I was the only non black person there.

other than that i just see people. If we cant learn to just see people we will always be devided

I was doing photography , so I am looking at evrything , looking for things that stand out. And when you see a stream of people in a line for 2-3 hours and its all white for the most part, its hard not to notice when you look at the Diverse group around them not going in.

That does seem differnt. I can understand that, but I have heard this alot since I have been on this board, not from you but from others.

Anyone black who is a republican isnt really black or is just an uncle tom
minoritys dont fit in with the GOP lots of stuff like that.

I am a minority in about every way you can be and I am the most uncomfortable in the democrat party and I have met other minoritys who feel the same. but some how we are not real people or we are not real minoritys if we dont step in line with the donkey

I was there today at the gates where they came in, and hate to break it to you but yes it was in fact mostly all whites going in as delagates unless the rest came late or early and I missed them...

Like I said, I just watched it, and I saw all kinds of people, of all different colors there. The fact is that someone would even be bringing this CRAP up in the first place only serves to clearly distinguish the level of FEAR they have for the McCain/Palin ticket.

 

[Dr.Who]

Well I am starting to agree - I agree that the republican party needs to start stealing black party members from the Democratic party. Maybe the pubs could offer to reduce the salaries of all the white members so that the new black recruits could be paid double what is normal. (sarcasm)

OR

The democratic party could just stop making promises to redistribute wealth in ways that are opposed to the nature of our country and constitution. Then with an even playing field people would vote and be represented based on what is good for American and not based on what is good for their own special interest group.

The numbers are what they are but they are more than anything else a reflection of the pandering that the Democrats have done to the blacks. Pandering that I may add has done more to harm them than anything else short of slavery.

What does all this mean? I think it's pretty obvious. You know, at least the Klan had the guts to wear their sheets in the open

um excuse me? Has anyone in the GOP said that black people may not be republicans? It's not like we're turning African Americans away, they just chose not to be republican. Your statistic really doesn't mean much.

The klan slander aside (and of course, it's another stupid remark by you, since the klan has historically been associated with the democrat party )the demographics are merely the results of self-selection: blacks remain firmly on the democrat plantation, mostly due to incessant brainwashing by the liberal media and the government schools.

I saw some numbers this morning that I thought were worth commenting on. I know I'm always claiming the GOP is the party of white people...turns out I was right. Here's an ethnic breakdown of the delegates to the two respective conventions:

Republican Convention

White-93%
Hispanic-5%
Black-2%

Democrat Convention

White-65%
Hispanic-11%
Black-23%

Another interesting fact, the GOP appears to be getting whiter as 85% in 2004 and 89% of the delegates 2000 were white. Also of interest..men account for 68% of Republican delegates (compared with 57 percent in 2004) and about half the Democratic delegates.

What does all this mean? I think it's pretty obvious. You know, at least the Klan had the guts to wear their sheets in the open. Who knows, considering the direction the GOP is going, maybe that's in the future.

Who gives a shit? You value people based on color?

Both you and Libs are full of excuses, however numbers don't lie and they tell a story of increasing racism in the white party.

Whites make up approximately 74% of the population, yet they account for 93% of the Republican delegates. The black population accounts for 13.4% in America, at the GOP convention-a paltry 1.5%. Quite a disparity don't you think?

Lets look at some more embarrassing numbers: Only 36 of the 2,380 delegates seated on the convention floor are black, the lowest number since the start of diversity tracking at political conventions some 40 years ago.

Even right wing token black hero Michael Steele had this to say; "It's hard to look around and not get frustrated. You almost have to think, wait, how did it come to this?' "

More facts: Not only isn't there even one black Republican senator, congressman, or governor currently serving, there hasn't been one for six years.

All the numbers say one thing..the GOP is not only the white party but it's getting whiter.

Excuses and justifications don't cut it. The GOP has become a haven for racism, both overt and covert. The non prejudiced members of the GOP, of which I'm sure they are few in number, ought to be ashamed. The simple fact that one of America's two major parties caters to such white trash is an obvious reminder that racism is alive and well in 2008.

Black people suck. So why is it good to have more of them?

So? Ask Walter the racial makeup of his favorite political party.

 

[Starcastle]

Some people might be put off by my comment that black people suck but the entire message of the libtard ideology is that white people suck.

When they use the word diversity it simply means anything other than white. What is wrong with white? Not a damn thing.

Any of you tards want to debate which countries are better places to live in white countries or black countries be my guest. Which countries are more technologically advanced? Which countries have the most advanced medical care?

Who is more violent white people or black people? What about IQ scores?

I watched a recent video of Nigeria and they showed people who live in boats on the water. They drink from the same water they shit in.
Who in this world cannot still fiqure out how to dig a hole for potable water?

Bill Gates was fanatical about developing a high tech toilet that could be used in Africa because the morons have not figured out basic sewage and sanitation yet. The ancient Greeks and Romans had it figured out thousands of years ago.

Exactly! That is all that matters.

White people have to show black folks in Africa how to dig a well for clean water? In 2024? Let's be more like them?

It certainly requires equipment to dig water wells in many parts of the world. Do you have the ability to dig a water well anywhere?

I can hire somebody to dig a well where I live for about $50 a foot. Do not need one we have city water which is racist!

Careful how you are making arguments. You make it even worse. You are not suggesting that white people prevent blacks from having water and basic sanitation? That would be supremecist.
