I know HG, that game of reality and intelligence is too rough for some.

It’s the same thing, moron! It’s the color of the skin that you think is significant, either way you try to spin and lie about it.

Hahaha! Not really son.

Being upset that darkies are in your group is bad. Being concerned that there are no darkies in your group would be good, when it comes to politics.

The truth of the matter is you have to cling to crazy notions in order to be comfortable with the situation you are in. I feel sorry for you, sort of.

Chief – as far as I remember, in 2004 GWB carried the majority of the Latino vote as well as the Asian vote and 16 % of the black vote. All I am saying is, that the RNC plays into its critics hand, that claim the party is a white people’s club who does not care about minorities – which btw, I don’t believe it all. Just before you classify me as a kommi-leftist, I voted for McCain in the 2000 primaries

There is nothing racist by bringing to attention that there are no black people in the video, or at the convention.

It is the epitome of racism to note the skin color in the gathering, as if it has some significance, moron. The only people who care about skin color are racists!
Where is your support for a colorblind society?

I don’t think I saw more than 5.

So, you were looking for racial identity, and counting. Pure racism. Why do you regard skin color as significant?

…the RNC plays into its critics hand, that claim the party is a white people’s club who does not care about minorities…

So, the RNC doesn’t have any racial quotas, and that “plays into” the racism of its critics? You have it backward. The “critics” are playing the race card(as they always do), and the RNC isn’t playing along with their racist bullshit.

You are getting closer Bat!!

It is telling that the only ones concerned with the color of the audience are Democrats.

Were not concerned with the color. Were concerned by the LACK of color. It’s conspicuous by its absence.

Of course, these are the very same “colorblind” Democrats whose presidential candidate arranged his audience for the benefit of the TV cameras, removing some of the more “colored” faces in favor of white ones.

Ha! Yeah, we put all those different hues all around that entire football field as an orchestrated facade to give illusion to the television audience.

Keep stretching!!

Again, nutbag; why is this so important to you? Only a racist cares about skin color. They’re all Americans, which is all that’s important. Republicans don’t live by the race card, unlike the Dems.

Why is it some Republicans have no understanding of pretty much anything?

H,

Just a friendly reminder: You are just about the last person here at SAB to be commenting on the ignorance, real or perceived, of anyone else.

Your latest suggestion, for example, that only “progressive” Democrats are able to identify racism, is laughably stupid.

Not when it is so apparent.

What was that YOU said again Robert?

I spoke to his prediliction. You are using skin color to define significance. In any case, pointing your little finger at me doesn’t make you any less racist. Nice try, sonny.

H,
“That’s not what he said ya ign’rant wretch.”

Come on now…is this some kind of secret game…like find the black guy?

C’mon now H. It was the first comment for cryin’ out loud.

Rbb, it was an msnbc camera. Still want to play the race card?

“I can’t stand here and tell you that there has been progress,” said Mr. Williams, one of four black statewide officials in Texas. “It’s a tough time right now, but we’ll get back on it.”

…According to the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies in Washington, which researches black issues, only 36 of the 2,380 convention delegates are black. In 2004, there were 167, or 6.7 percent of that year’s convention total.

Saying….”hey, there are no brown people in a crowd is not the “race card”.

Of course it is, moron! It’s judging the situation by skin color. Whatever happened to the old Dem wheeze about a “colorblind society”?

HG,

How is that the “race card”? It was a poignant joke.

The Race Card:

The phrase is commonly used in two contexts. In the first, and more common context, it alleges that someone has deliberately and falsely accused another person of being a racist in order to gain some sort of advantage. [1] An example of this use of the term occurred during the O.J. Simpson criminal trial, when critics accused the defense of “playing the race card”[2] in presenting Mark Fuhrman’s racist past (e.g. his recorded use of the word “nigger” in addition to his being accused of tampering with murder evidence in prior cases, as well as his use of the Fifth Amendment to avoid potential self-incrimination upon questioning) as a reason to draw his credibility as a witness into question. Another example would be a criticism of Georgia Representative Cynthia McKinney’s assertion that she was the victim of “racial profiling”[3] after she allegedly struck a United States Capitol police officer who had grabbed her at a security checkpoint.

Rbb, it was an msnbc camera. Still want to play the race card?

I can’t, you just played it for yourself.

(BTW it was NBC cameras not MSNBC cameras, fox did the DNC )

Again, nutbag; why is this so important to you?

I just think the absence of minorities goes to establish the fact that the party has a long, long way to go.

I don’t think your party truly understands how to address the concerns of anyone that is not white or Christian.

Of course, Hannitized becomes outraged at the mere suggestion that huge numbers of African-Americans support Senator Obama because he is one.

Well, I am curious to know that if 90% of blacks voted for Democrats, prior to Obama being elected, how many more are voting for the Dem ticket this year?? 95%? 91.5% What?

What outraged me about what you said PP, was that minorities in the military vote for Obama, because he is one. But you have no data to support that claim.

I would agree with you Bat, if I suggested that only progressives are able to identify racism. But that is not what I said.

H,

What you said may not match up word for word with what you clearly suggested by implication, but your meaning was clear enough.

You’d do well to remember this ain’t the choir you’re preaching to here, and most of us have sat through far more compelling sermons than yours. This isn’t exactly our first revival!

H,

I’m not interested in your games. Play by yourself.

RBB, there was one hispanic there….did you see the poster that said “Hispanics for McCain”??

Not sure he should have been using plural nouns though.

Where is your support for a colorblind society?

I support the Democratic party. The party that is color blind, as evidenced by its audience.

So, you were looking for racial identity, and counting. Why do you regard skin color as significant?

I just noticed it was a stark contrast to the Democratic party. It seemed odd to me. Almost as if I was looking at another country, from another time.

I think you have the explaining to do. Why so few minorities?

Now if that ain’t the race card nothing is. BTW, it is exactly the race card Rbb played.

If the Dems ever stop playing the race card, they will have to embrace American values again to win an election. They might have to actually have some real solutions to things.

I support the Democratic party. The party that is color blind, as evidenced by its audience.

You lie; the Dems are the Party of racism; without the race card, they would never win an election. They are the party of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow and the KKK. If you accept slavery in the past as an indictment of America, you must accept the racism of the Dem Party as an indictment of that Party. Otherwise you are a lying hypocrite. Which is it?

Why so few minorities?

Without a racial quota system and racial recruiting, like the Dems do, the people there are the people there. Why is skin color significant to you? What meaning do you impute to skin color? You’re spinning and bullshitting now, instead of answering the question.

Justwondering. Just wondering. Do you know the percentage of “minorities” or whatever term you would like to use that consistently vote Democratic? Republican? If you like, we can see if those voting percentages are reflected by the categories at the Republican convention…. but that would force someone to classify each and every delegate. When I taught, I was asked to fill out forms with B/W, B/G. I did not classify my students. I passed out confidential pieces of paper with their name on it and asked them to identify themselves.

Rob, don’t question Bob’s “blackness.” He just wants hope and change and unity. The race card is all about unity.

Were not concerned with the color. Were concerned by the LACK of color. It’s conspicuous by its absence.

It’s the same thing, moron! It’s the color of the skin that you think is significant, either way you try to spin and lie about it.

I support the Democratic party. The party that is color blind, as evidenced by its audience.

It is telling that the only ones concerned with the color of the audience are Democrats. Of course, these are the very same “colorblind” Democrats whose presidential candidate arranged his audience for the benefit of the TV cameras, removing some of the more “colored” faces in favor of white ones.

Colorblind, my ass!

Well…maybe not nothing at all. But i meant my comment had nothing to do with saying who could pick out racism best or not.

Ahh, the race card.

Never gets old does it?
