what is sad is the some folks can't honestly see how much it was petty and political pandering to have the HANDFUL of black and brown GOP representatives speak at their little Convention, when looking out at the crowd where was this color? It was the most ubiquitous use of tokenism I've ever seen

TAMPA, Fla. — Earl Phillip is a North Carolina delegate to the Republican National Convention, a member of the party since he was 18 and a passionate believer in its ideals. He is also African American, which made him stand out this week in a sea of white faces on the floor of the convention hall.

The day he arrived, Phillip said, "I walked out there, I looked around, and I couldn't count any black folks."

There were some, eventually, but not a lot. Nor, if he had tried, would he have counted many Latinos or other ethnic and racial minorities — except on the podium, where Republicans showcased their diversity with speakers who reflected the party's aspirations more than its reality.

As the United States steadily shifts from a predominantly white country to one in which nonwhites will soon be a majority, the Republican Party has a demographic challenge.

It does very well, generally speaking, among non-Latino white voters, especially white male voters, who were in abundance at its convention.

I'm not angry, neither do I support any sitting president, I am by nature political nihilistic. Rather, I am talking about the dialogue, the national conversation, and whether we younger adults realize it or not, the 45-65 Mitt Romney crowd as represented by the RNC recently is still a dangerous threat to collective harmony in the US. These are the corrupt businesses which exploit labor (black, white and brown!), these are the warmongers who live by some kind of silly bellicose machismo flag waving bullshit, these are gun industry supports who dump millions of dangerous weapons onto a gloated market so they can dissappear into the streets 30,000-40,000 at a time and kill and maim many unfortunate people, some of whom I've known. These assholes are symbolic of everything backwards and backwoods dangerous about America, all the bullshit bigoted attitudes hiding behind genteel manners. We need to continually put the beam on motherfucker attitudes like that, and like John Brown or Nat Turner expose these duppies for what they are. Weakheart will always tremble in the face of the stupidity of its own inherent greed, and thus in the end indeed every knee bows and every tongue confesses that we are all brothers and each should love his neighbor.

 

These folks will repent inevitably when we just keep the spiritual pressure of community love and genuine flexibility. Clint Eastwood said, "You, we, we own this country" and those folks cheered. Fuck that.. "Whose streets? OUR STREETS!" You can't blame the youth of today, no, and you can't fool them! Hey white folks, you should be nervous, even Ben Stein just admitted to Tavis Smiley that Republicans are blatantly on the wrong side of history. Oh, President Obama isn't a saint, and once we deal with you fuckers, we'll have plenty of time to deal with that fucker too

There has a real thread of racism in the American right wing over the last few years. But if youre listening to conversations between lunatiics like Ben Stien and talk show hosts like Tavis Smiley i think youre missing a great deal

The same will happen to Romney in four years if he doesn't do any better.

That is a matter of indisputable statistical reality. The question my thread is asking is which section of white people exactly? During the days of slavery, there were always white abolitionists who at every level were very active in the movement. Besides of which, voting is entirely a myth. 3 of the past 6 presidents didn't carry the popular vote. I am talking about the substance of the national dialogue and conversation. The RNC is blatantly racist, and that they can put these kinds of coy eye-winking racist and exploitation ideas on the television and Twitter then it reflects that a sizable portion of white folks today still harbor the sentiments and bigotry of folks like them years ago. So we still got to boss up and put the beam on these hatin motherfuckers.. We got to put it on Obama too, because the Democrats are the opposite evil, they give us a lot of slanging speeches and through us a couple crumbs here and there, but the wars and exploitation carry on as ever, so that much like the penedulum political swing of 1984, for all intents and purposes the Democrats and Republicans are just playing good cop and bad cop. From my sense of political nihilism, I say first we fuck up the more asshole bad cop, then we play nice and when he isn't looking, we fuck up the good cop asshole too

What idiot young libertarians and new voters who fear facism don't realize is this:

A ROMNEY VICTORY WILL RESULT IN THE PERFECT MARRIAGE OF THE CORPORATION AND THE STATE. THEN AMERICANS WILL KNOW TRUE FACISM FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY.

Obama 2012.

Hey that was a good line by Romney. I can't stand the guy but he got a good soundbite with that one. That along with Paul Ryan's line about people forced to move into their childhood bedrooms staring at a faded Obama poster.

Yeah, because we all know that Reaganomics on ideological steroids and fueled by the increase in free trade and globalization will surely give us ALL great well paying jobs with benefits at err.. Walmart?

No, too much RNC coverage in the media and not enough Tupac to just simply tell those ninjaz to eat a dick

Face it. Soundbites are what the evening news reports want. They're not going to show the whole speech by anybody. A line that sums up a whole speech will suffice for them.

If careful, articulate speeches were reported correctly and reported with what the author had in mind then Obama wouldn't have to be fighting for another term so much as he is.

Urgh I can barely stand to watch 4 minutes of it before I had to turn it off. Get him back his hole. Romney must've been dying inside watching him.
