Liberals are the real racists. They patronise minorities, effectively telling Blacks, Hispanics and others that they are too stupid and useless to ever be able to succeed on an even playing field. If I was Black I would loathe the Democrats for treating me like I was somehow inferior to anyone else.
I hope the GOP show some brains and run Allen West for their nominee!
From most of your observations/opinions on race relations here in the US, it's pretty apparent to me that it's either
A) been a while since you've spent any significant time here
or
B) you're simply throwing statements like this out just for S's & G's fully knowing that its BS just to be an @$$.
Just like you needed to be corrected in an earlier thread about blacks' membership in the GOP "historically", that appears to be the case here as well if you truly think the Republican social agenda is more beneficial for minorities than Democrat.
I guess it boils down to being the lesser of 2 evils, which is usually the case in any political situation. So we have what you call patronization, which if it were truly the case, I hardly think that you'd go out of your way to point that out to us minorities as that seems to be more a liberal action, which we all know isn't you. The alternative basically shows direct indifference, no attempt whatsoever at the inclusion of minorities in their membership...and you believe that to be the better choice? Comedy.
People typically vote based either on their social or fiscal beliefs. On social issues, there's nothing attractive at all about the Republican party to the minority population, and I suspect that those minorities do vote Republican are those that have fiscal importance at the top of their agenda. I don't expect that either group will have a change in beliefs anytime soon, so the divide will continue as it has. What's ironic is that I was actually in process of shifting my emphasis from social to fiscal this past election, until the true side of GOP came out when Obama became the clear target.
I do believe that this country's proverbial head would explode if both presidential candidates were 2 black men.
Plus, any brotha that's grey and still rocks a high-top fade should have their @$$ kicked.
