Breaking News: Romney brought in his own African-Americans to NAACP convention

[goodboy]

Shortly after Romney’s speech, NAACP Chairman Emeritus Julian Bond stated:

“He wasn’t speaking to us. He was speaking to that slice of white America that hasn’t made up its mind about him, and he’s saying, ‘Look at me; I’m OK. I can get along with the Negroes. I can say things to them that they don’t like, so I’m not afraid to stand up to them.’ … I think that’s what this is all about, and that’s the reason he came.”

about Rmoney not being able to stand up to people. I think the statement is on spot: 'I can say things to them that they don’t like, so I’m not afraid to stand up to them.’
