Meanwhile, the existence of the GOP Southern Strategy to appeal to white racist ex-Dixiecrats is a fact that was acknowledged by no less than Ken Mehlman – see http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/18/washington/18...

I am familiar with the NBRA. The cling a lot to the black Republican past, which is understandable, because they seem to have little going for them in the present…

It is all well and good for them to attack Obama, but I would think they want to be known for more than just being the GOP's black hatchet men. (One ad states “Obama is an arrogant elitist who turned his back on poor blacks and his own country.” Yes, that is hatchet-ry.)

But then, my thinking on what black Republicans want to be known for could be wrong. Perhaps in the end, these ads are pretty much what they're about, no more, no less.

Well, right now, many black folks think of black Republicans as being “wrong” on the issues.

These attack ads present black Republicans as not just “wrong” but “bad.” They're now going beyond having unwelcome positions, to now using unwelcome campaign tactics.

I think that could generate more ill will against the black GOP, especially for the part of the black electorate that is becoming sensitized to the attacks on Barack and also Michelle Obama.

Obama is not getting any money from me this month– Father's Day, FISA, denouncing and rejecting Clark, liking the handgun decision, wanting to expand the death penalty to include child rape, have all been giant disappointments to me. I know the conventional wisdom says that Democrats have to run to the center, but every time we do that we lose.

He put himself in this position of having to please his most ardent supporters, many of whom are liberal, in order to get campaign dollars. When he disappoints us, we don't give. I have a feeling his June numbers are going to be way down.

Black Republicans already have a bad image in the minds of black voters; consider this.

I think a lot of black voters will come to think that black Republicans are doing the GOP's “dirty work” by running these negative attack ads. This will not help black Republicans' reputation among African Americans, but rather, damage it.

There's an election that needs to be won.

Um, where the black people at?

Look for the “Radio Ads” section, about a ¼ of the way down.

NBRA Martin Luther King Was A Republican (six ads)

I've got a video for you. If anyone tells you that racism hasn't been in the coverage of Obama's run, have them take a look at this. I'm sure many here will agree with Harriet “Christian” that 99% of us black folk are all backing Obama solely because he is black.

Pass it on so more people can be aware of this bullshit.
