ps...three black republicans are not a sign of a trend.
For todays GOPs to even mention Lincoln is a sacrilege. As a republican I can only hope the GOP returns to being the party of Lincoln. This power drunk, criminal band of neocons makes me ashamed to be a republican. Moderate minds will prevail though; if they don't, GOD help us.

Republican = Klan? Seriously? Do you actually believe that ALL Republicans are Klan members?
If minorities ever want to be taken serious as a voting bloc they have to form their own party which decides on a case by case basis who to put their weight behind, or whether to run their own candidate.

I don't understand it. Why are african americans republicans? I mean its like a black person joining the KKK! Its suicidal. Its like "Hi I am african american and I do not support other african americans, would you like to join my party?" "Hi I am african american I am a Republican even though most members of this party in congress hate me." Its like WTF!?
THE REASON Republicans hire african americans is because they are tying to make themselves look good on the racial side. Condelezza Rice does not have her own opinions really. I mean seriously its like Bush as a woman. and african american.

Republicans try and walk a thin line but as soon as they start speaking they cross it. They are offensive and dont even realize it.

what the heck does this mean? Because we're black our vote isn't taking seriously--oh, it shouldn't be counted like in Florida in 2000!
We don't know what we are voting for? We just vote democrat cause that's what we always do?
Our opinions are just worthless because of the color of our skin...racist comment and he doesn't even know it. Republican.
Tis harsh, but I'm not going to apologize when folk believe that black people are ill-informed voters.
