You mean to say that the black people can't think for themselves and are brainless? By this logic, the democratic party is all about minorities and that any minority speaker (including caucasion) are used as tokens?
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.
This contradicts your above statement.
And of course black republicans exist, I'm not saying they don't.

Tokens = black people who are chosen to speak just because they are black..nothing else.

This reminds me of when MSNBC edited footage of a black man with a gun, in order to claim he was a racist white guy. Its pretty clear the Democrat party media wants to portray the GOP as nothing but racist white men who are out to get everyone else. Those of you who buy in to it are being suckered.
MSNBC Omits All Coverage From Minority Speakers at 'Racist' RNC Convention
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?

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.

Oh yeah? Where is your evidence? Or is it just your inherit distrust of the white devil?
Anyone who is a target of the media's white menace fear mongering. You don't give a crap, but I think it's pretty dangerous to have a mass media that's essentially just the attack dogs for the Democrat party.
Or how about non-whites who do hold views in line with the GOP, but who get attacked as race traitors and ignored when they try to speak out?

It wasn't edited, they simply went to commentary...just as everyone else did including FoxNews.
I think you guys are trying real hard to make something out of nothing and you have to realize that many od us sen the coverage. You can't try to pull the wool over our eyes.

From what I saw they didn't cut away from the minority speakers. I saw Mia Love and Artur Davis and Ted Cruz speak on Fox. They were also on PBS and CSPAN.

Let's see the Fox "News" coverage of these same speakers speeches, OP. No? They didn't cover them either?
Then I guess Fox "News" is as racist as MSNBC.
