Minorities are being used by the RNC

Well Duh! But really hear me out!

In 2010 the rising star in the Republican Party was supposed to be Allen West. I mean well he's an African American Military man who hates the President. What could go wrong?? Well a lot. West is now proven to be a bufoon who was used by his party just based upon his race. He isn't fit for office. But that hasn't stopped them from propping him up. But where is he in Tampa?? He is a Florida representative. Oh and he's nowhere to be found around here. We have major flooding and that jerk is nowhere to be found to offer support. He's not in Tampa. He's not campaigning. He's just airing false ads on TV about his opponent Patrick Murphy.

Fast-forward to 2012's convention. Why was Mia Love given a speaking role at the convention?? If she was a White Woman running for Congress she wouldn't even be speaking there. Where are the other women or men running in different states that aren't of color?? Nikki Haley, Condi Rice (who didn't even mention her part of the Debt business) and Susana Martinez. Martinez even lied about how her parents started their business - all by themselves is such garbage.

Still at the end of the day - it was a white-man's convention. It sprinkles women here and there, but no-one of substance.

That spent a goodly amount of high-school and college years in locker-rooms and dorm rooms of predominately white and truly conservative schools ...

I have heard what conservative white men really think about Black woman. I only feel pity for these women that seek inclusion in conservative circles.
