And of course the republican party sees beyond it self too! Give me a break! I am an African American and this just seems like a big cop out for their basic attitudes towards African Americans. I think as you see by this election we are no longer the angry non-conformists you make us out to be.
As for the party that believes in small government and big business … you haven't been that in years…. In recent years, the republican party just seems like bitter racists who refused to see that the world has changed around them. By the way, you talk about handouts and how people should be ashamed in receiving them but you have no problem when these corporations get billions and billions of dollars in government funds (corporate welfare)

I think that African Americans do not want to join the republican party is because they simply do not associate themselves with African Americans. Yes they have figureheads like Colin Powell, Condelezza Rice or Alan keyes . However, they use these figures as background piece and expect African Americans to jump because they see black face which is an insult to black people.
Sarah Palin is a figure head too although I doubt she knows it .
Reality CHECK REPUBLICANS
WE DIDN'T VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK, ME AND A LOT OTHER NON-BLACKS VOTED FOR HIM BECAUSE HE REPRESENTED CHANGE. IN FACT, HE SPENT A LOT OF THE YEAR TRYING TO CATCH UP TO HILLARY CLINTON WHO WAS GETTING THE BLACK VOTE IN JULY IF YOU REMEMBER .

Ms. M-

I agree with your theory. I've thought all through this campaign about why the Republicans would offer the choices they did and decide on an embattled, old McCain.

At first, I thought they probably just let him have it so he could have his last change when they knew they weren't going to win.

Your theory is plausible though.

D-
I would like to beg your pardon. It’s this type of thinking - AAs want to live off the government - that makes me want to puke. I could never be a part of that type of thinking. All we want is respect and a government that provides for us in a fair, just and civil manner just as it would and does for white Americans. These provisions are unspoken but understood. AAs want a government that is not full of representatives that have and would deny us the right to vote, deny equal funding to our school systems, deny basic rights and through our legal and judicial system devise elaborate schemes to maintain the status quo. All while focusing their attention and the nation’s resources on personal and special interests that serve only a small percentage - really you stupid mofo, do I need to go any further!
I have some conservative views; however, I can’t ever see myself joining a party where it has been made clear I am not wanted or needed. I also can’t see myself a part of a party that includes Pat Buchanan and George Bush and Lord knows how many other segregationists and racists.
IMO the AAs who are currently associated with the Republican Party are for a couple of reasons:
1) Financial reasons – There are some AAs who have achieved a level of success that requires that they support the policies of the Republicans that benefit them financially, even though the very members of their party inserted the road blocks that would attempt to deny them the success they achieved.

2) Superiority Vindication – They have a need to be included and not viewed as a typical AA given that they have found a way succeed in spite of policies that would have denied them. It’s the old I’m not like them. The need to be accepted and deemed superior for their achievements.

It’s a sad and sick affair.

Our community's biggest problem has come from mistrusting each other within the community; and stabbing one another in the back within the community; taking advantage of our black neighbor, our black relative within the community. Reflecting upon this, perhaps the biggest reason -- the absolute biggest reason -- all along as to why I personally despise how Hillary is running her campaign is less about her methods, may be that I have seen her bullshit mirrored too often within the black community. And those tactics fail the group as a whole even as it enriches the few. Meanwhile, those who are enriched believe (like Hillary) that they deserve to be enriched at the expense of those they fuck over.

Nita @2:22, you gave me the words for what I was feeling. Plus, hillary (and black folks who do the same thing...) think nobody sees that shit.

I see it, it's the 'crab in a barrel' mentality that my daddy always talked about.

Now as for FEMA and New Orleans, Bush appointed dude who ran the Arabian Horse Association to run FEMA.

What the hell did he know from emergencies?!?!

Not sure how many of you watch Hannity & Colmes but rest assured Black people are being used.

Once Obama is completely raked through the coals (which is the plan) by either McCain and/or Clinton, the nomination will go to Clinton.

Obviously MANY people will not be voting for Massa's wife Missus Clinton, so McCain will win.

McCain is ancient quite frankly so obviously he will pick a young/youngish running mate. Would not be surprised if for some reason he doesn't complete his term (bad health, etc). So the Republic VP will be come President and voila the right will have the person they wanted in the first place in office.

So be sure to pay attention to who McCain picks as his running mate....

“@admiral komack, i usually agree with your posts, and i agree with the one you wrote here… except that I don’t think you took it far enough and you’ve let Democrats off the hook for the environment of New Orleans before Katrina.”

-Nita, I believe that Nagin, Blanco, et al are not blameless concerning Hurricane Katrina.

My point is state resources couldn’t handle the enormity of the disaster, the governor sent out the disaster declaration…the federal government was supposed to respond…and nothing happended, and people died because of that lack of response.

Hi, nita.

When Governor Blanco sent the disaster declaration to the White House on August 26, 2005, it was incumbent on the federal government to act.

When the federal government got that disaster declaration, it was their responsibilty to act, and they did not.

The federal governmet had to be SHAMED into acting.

And since the Bush Administration were staffing those organizations
that would deal with the disaster and its aftermath (Department of Homeland Security/yeah, Brownie, Chertoff, I'm talking about YOU), yeah, I'm blaming the Republicans.

Nita,

When it happened to Bill Clinton back in 1992---Bush Sr. was in office! This crap makes you wonder!

"You can bet someone paid for the breach. Who's trying to go out like Nixon? because whoever did it needs to be barred from politics for life".

What if...
