Wow there are a lot of black Republicans!

[skooooo]

I see them on TV - the republican "strategists" on MSNBC are all black. Even the chair of the party is black!! The ones on MSNBC are all very light-skinned black people. I guess the light-skinned black people like the republican party more than darker-skinned black people.

1. No one can tell how many Republicans are actually black under those hoods... nt

[skooooo]

I shouldn't jump to conclusions, I suppose.

4. Are you channeling Julian Bond (from the SNL skit)? But seriously, the pukes will

never learn that most of America is on to their tricks, including the "token" showcasing of identity politics.

Sarah Palin - so women will support them.

Steele so blacks will support them.

Jindal so other "dark-skins" will support them.

On and on.....

[skooooo]

5. It just totally blows my mind...

...how they go out of their way to make sure the "face" of the party is black, or asian (Jindall). And then all that stuff about taking their message to "hip hop" settings. That party is in total meltdown, and I don't think it will survive.

The right wing won't let the center have a voice, and that's the end of it. And the end of them as a political power. What's left for them? Well they have their anger and their guns, don't they?

I don't get your Bond reference, sorry.

6. Julian Bond appeared in a skit with Garrett Morris, talking about black-white intelligence...

Garrett Morris: < interrupting > Well, I think I understand the problem with the tests. But the fact is that people have been saying that white people are smarter than black for hundreds of years. We've only had I.Q. tests for 20 or 30 years. How did the idea of white intellectual superiority originate?

Julian Bond: That's an interesting point. My theory is that it's based on the fact that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks.

Garrett Morris: < not sure he heard that right > Say what?

Julian Bond: I said I think it might have grown out of the observation that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks.

Garrett Morris: I don't get it.

Julian Bond: It's got nothing to do with having white blood. It's just that descendants of the lighter-skinned African tribes are more intelligent than the descendants of the darker-skinned tribes. Everybody knows that.

Garrett Morris: This is the first time I've heard of it.

Julian Bond: Seriously? It was proven a long time ago.
