A funny thing happened on race-obsessed MSNBC tonight. The liberal network failed to give viewers coverage of the speakers who happen to be member of racial minorities. As Francesca Chambers, Editor of Red Alert Politics, reported on August 28th:
When popular Tea Party candidate Ted Cruz, the GOP nominee for Senate, took the stage, MSNBC cut away from the Republican National Convention and the Hispanic Republican from Texas’ speech.
MSNBC stayed on commercial through former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis’ speech, as well. Davis, who recently became a Republican, is black. Then, when Puerto Rican Governor Luis Fortuno’s wife Luce’ Vela Fortuño took the stage minutes later, MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews opted to talk over the First Lady’s speech. And Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval? Noticeably missing from MSNBC, too. Mia Love, a black candidate for Congress in Utah, was also ignored by MSNBC.
Why is MSNBC trying to exclude conservative Republicans of color in their coverage? Could it be that they are aghast that they're not on the side of the infallible Barack Obama? Could it be because it cuts against their persistent whine that the GOP is the party of "dog whistle" politics aimed at working-class white voters?
It's irnoic since Daily Beast contributor Michael Tomasky friviously labeled this year's RNC convention as racist.
Shall we take bets on when Condi Rice's speech is interrupted by a Michelin tire commercial?

The fact that we have to make a big deal over having minorities speaking at the RNC speaks volumes. It shouldn't even be news or a discussion. It should be a normal expected thing.
You can argue over the reason why until every tuns blue, but the fact remains that the Republican party lacks diversity.

We won't follow any leader today who comes on the basis of political party. Both parties (Democrat and Republican) are controlled by the same people who have abused our rights, and who have deceived us with false promises every time an election rolls around.

To test your theory, I actually flipped throught the channels. PBS, was the only station who stayed the course during the "minorities" speaking.
Try to contain your butt hurt a little better. It's about the RNC, Democrats AND their propaganda media. Its a Democrat party/MSM narrative that requires them to cover up the contradictions to their lies.

Then that dispels this whole thread. It just wasn't MSBNC, it was everyone

The only reason why so many minorities are speaking is because the GOP wants to make it seem like Black people are against Obama too. They are painfully tokennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
It's like when Fox wants to talk about black people or urban issues, then they bring one of their tokens on to discuss it.
And of course black republicans exist, I'm not saying they don't.

What are you talking about??
Tokens = Black people who are not Democrats or who don't tow the MSM/DNC line. You're a disgrace.

Why are you so confused? Are you playing dumb? The media ignored minority speakers based on their skin color. They did it to advance a Democrat party/MSM narrative (Republicans are RASIS!). One that you see being repeated right here in this thread.

Shouldn't you be outraged about the mass media ignoring certain speakers based on skin color? But no, it's your team being racist and they're only being racist towards Republican minorities. Who cares about them, right?
