“And it could particularly be a colossal failing to ignore minority communities this election season, when the flap over Barack Obama’s questionable associations has seen the racial debate taken in a disturbing direction that strays from the colorblind, hand-in-hand path of brotherhood envisioned by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.”
Flap? You call this story a flap? This “flap” is akin to learning, say, that John McCain (though he talks a tough line on whuppin’ Islamofacism) has actually been a dues-paying member of Code Pink over the past five years!
And I’m sorry, but the GOP cannot save “the black community” from themselves or from their liberal-elite “friends” — *that* will require a grass-roots reactionary awakening within the community itself. This is not something that GOP “whiteys” and their “Negro Uncle Toms” can influence in any meaningful way.
The GOP welcomes everyone to join its ranks. We are the true colorblind party. But there’s no forcing the horse to drink.
