The White-Bread Convention
Posted: Fri Aug 31, 2012 3:07 pm
One cannot help but have been struck by the monochromatic hue of the Republican National Convention. It was like a NASCAR race or an NHL game, except that it didn't even have "colored" snack vendors to soften the effect.
The few Blacks and Hispanics who were paraded up to the podium and the interviewer's microphones fairly screamed, "Oreo," and whatever analogous term Hispanics use.
I'm not certain what this means. Does it mean that "minorities" have abandoned the Republican Party? Or, as Dems would have you believe, that the Republican Party has abandoned minorities?
Certainly, for those "minorities" who look to Government for a hand-up or a handout or whatever, they have a better prospect of getting one when Democrats are in power.
But aren't there any "minorities" who just seek good government and fair treatment? Apparently, very few.
