Black Republicans At Convention Aren't Fazed By Obama's Historical Campaign

Yesterday, I was in search of some evidence of black Republicans at the Republican National Convention. Today, Arianna Huffington found it. In a nutshell: they think Barack Obama's ascent to the top of the Democratic party is more or less worthy of praise (they don't seem to all be in accord on this), but they will never, ever vote for him.

Oh dear. I can't even watch this video, I just know how it's gonna make me feel and my blood pressure has risen enough for today.

Just saw this, Lauren — Palin scares me. She really does.

The assumption from Arianna, this blog, and others across the net, that ALL BLACKS should support Obama for no other reason than his blackness, way more offensive than anything said in that video.

At least they are not trolling through beauty shops asking all them tortured Black women what they are going to do having to choose between a woman and a Black man. Forget that the choice is between a 100 yr war in Iraq and getting out? or universal healthcare and being on your own or endless other very plausible distincitons…of course it is all cos you are Black…DAMN IT…
