Is that your serious opinion? And weren’t democrats considered the racists 60+ years ago? So I doubt it won’t switch again at some point. But if that’s really their attitude then I guess you’ve got to respect that candor.[/quote]
LBJ (a Democrat) made the comment about “I will be having those niggers voting Democratic for 200 years” and no one screamed racism. If GW Bush said that back in 2000 or 2004, do you really think no one would be screaming racism ?
So in a way, I can’t say that I blame the GOP for their lack of interest on what minority groups really think.
If Bush made a comment about a black cop harassing a white Harvard professor, would he have been enacting the same social justice that Obama was seen doing when he criticized the stupid white cop harassing the black Harvard professor ?
Sioux, the GOP is never going to get a fair evaluation because the media has portrayed them as old white devils who are the cause of all things evil in the world. Fuck it, so be it. I can keep it real, and I really don’t care who gets offended as that is their problem not mine. [/quote]
I understand your perspective and acknowledge your point. It sounds defeatist to me, but I’m not a longtime republican.

November 2010 showed how defeatist it wasn’t.
