Is Mitt Romney a racist?

[sniffa]

Very recently, well known Black Republican J.C. Watts publicly complained that the Romney presidential campaign was absolutely void of Blacks, Hispanics or any other ethnicity other than white. It was lily white and this needed to be corrected proclaimed the former Black congressman from Oklahoma. When approached about J.C.'s comments on CNN News, Mitt Romney retorted, "What's the charge? Is there something wrong with that?"

He then explained that he hired only the best workers and if that means an all white staff - so be it. This, my brother and sisters, is "bigot code". It is the same thing they would say to keep us out of the military, college and professional sports, the better public institutions and corporate offices. It wasn't because of racism but that we just weren't good enough and that's how God made it. It falls right along with the "Cain Curse Doctrine". Slick haired Romney is starting to appear to be very arrogant for all the wrong reasons. It is an aura about him that smells anti-American and anti-Christian. He appears to be a blast from the past and that is not good for us as a whole and harmonious society.

Is Mitt Romney a racist? Racial slurs, racist upbringing, racist slights, racist hiring and racist excuses - seems like an easy question.

JC Watts - isn't he the one black Republican that's always pointed to? what, is Alan Keyes not worthy of mention?

1. How sensitive to people would Romney be, if he ties his poor dog to the roof of his car..

on a road trip with his family all the way to Canada?

2. Lawrence O'Donnell of MSNBC thinks so...

Saw him on PBS this weekend on the McLaughlin Group saying this and worse...

3. Apparently He Is

Willard M. told us last week that he stands with the "faith of his fathers".

Well ... Real Mormon History - God and Skin Color

5. Please

yes the church has a problem there, but so do most christian churches if you bother to dig back in their histories. To paint everyone that is LDS as a racist because of its past is just as bigoted. Im LDS and really don't care for being labeled racist because of things other people stated or did in the past.

And yes, Mitt is a racist - but it has nothing to do with being a "good mormon" or having "faith in his fathers." There are plenty of LDS members that are not racist and trust the church.

7. Romney is

an upper class twit who thinks he's better than most everyone else on the planet. That's why he's a racist.

8. Yes, when they asked him some question about blacks in the youtube debate...

the only thing he could say was something about more police and jails as though all blacks are criminals.

9. I would like to see Romney and Keyes have a debate on racial issues.

That would be very entertaining. Although Romney wouldn't show up.

[TheWraith]

10. Probably, yes. This is news, that a Republican is racist?

It's more newsworthy when they're NOT.

[Stop Cornyn]

11. No. He flip flopped in 1978.

12. A racist Mormon? I'm shocked!

:sarcasm:

[FreeState]

15. A bigoted comment about my faith on DU I'm shocked!

:sarcasm: unfortunately

[Vickers]

18. Sorry Charlie, I've spent a lot of time in Utah, and probably met more Mormons

than the average (non-Utah) DUer...

Does this sound familiar?

2 Nephi 5:21 "that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them."

Say, when did they finally allow non-whites to be priests?

:eyes:

You do see the irony of a Mormon calling someone else a bigot, right? :rofl:

Enjoy your magic skivvies.

13. One question...

Romney can only hire people who WANT to work for him. Is there a long list of minorities who want to work for him and have been denied? Of course his staffers are all white, so is his support.

14. I don't know, but this sure reads funny

"the former Black congressman from Oklahoma."

LOL

17. Most Republicans I know are racists...

...overtly, or covertly.
