Lookit all them Black folks at the Republican convention!

[Lefty48197]

Holy smokes, there's only ten people on camera, and five of em are Black. Do you suppose I was wrong about the Republican party. Could 95% of African-Americans be wrong????

1. Make sure one is placed on TV during the role call.

Unbelievable.

3. In the hood, "Republican" is an insult of the worst order

We use that one when pulling out all the stops

5. must have hired some black actors.. through the UNION

6. Why do we let them get away with this every time????

I KNOW Karl Rove DEMANDS that the blacks, women and minorities get 90% of the crowd-shots.

Why does the media comply????

Someone should call them on this.

Maybe Jon??????

7. Is anybody keeping count of the Black faces shown on each network?

It would be interesting to see how many times Black faces appear on the three major cable networks, and then contract it with the number of Black faces the CSPAN camera finds while panning the audience.

8. My teenage son calls the RNConvention "Albinopalooza" n/t

10. In all fairness

I believe conventions have certain quotas they try to fulfill - even the RNC - I believe these are loose quotas as certain districts are unable to fulfill them, but there are supposed to be overall a certain number of men, women, black, white, hispanic, etc - as close to the districts composition as possible...I found this out when I considered becoming a delegate.

11. Are those black people the reps from the Hamptons?

12. The GOP exploiters forgot to bring along their # 1 token, Colon Bowel.

What a joke. Every other shot from the CNN camera picks out a person of color in the overwhelmingly, lily white crowd.

13. play a game

I say someone needs to take "snapshots" of the RNC convention and play "Where's Waldo?" except count the number of minorities...not just African-Americans...let the RNC off the hook a little, count ANYONE who may be a minority. The closet cases are easy to spot...they have the cute male "assistants!"

It almost looks like a Promise Keeper rally, except there are too many women for that!

It is a shame that a part that has such disdain for minorities is leading our country!

Brightest Blessings!
