Influential Republican Blacks

[Mr. P]

Listed below are Newsmax’s 100 Most Influential African-American Republicans. A caveat: not everyone on the list may be actually registered Republican. But these are individuals who have a public identity as Republican or ones who lean Republican.

1. Ben Carson — renowned pediatric neurosurgeon; likely 2016 presidential candidate
2. Colin Powell — former secretary of state; U.S. Army general
3. Condoleezza Rice — former secretary of state
4. Clarence Thomas — Supreme Court justice
5. Mia Love — U.S. congresswoman, Utah

Not all blacks are the same. Some think outside of the Democrat box.

One can view this in another way too but it requires one think outside their biased, bigoted mindset. Here it is, 'some blacks are full of sh-it same as whites.' See, now we face the conundrum that judging people by certain aspects of their makeup don't work too good. LOL

Mister D. Everything is about race, didn't you know that? Back to black.

Why so few, considering the last two Presidential Winning Margins were 9.5 and 5 Million :huh:

Aren't you gonna need a some more? :laugh:

[Mr. P]

I suspect they all want to be.

[Howey]

I suspect they all want to be.

You would be correct. Uncle Herman was the ultimate. He was raised to be a privileged white boy. Carson's just another smart doctor with little common sense who got where he is today thanks to government handouts*. Thomas was thrown away by his mother and raised by grandparents, sent only to all white catholic schools, and later attended Yale (source of funds unknown). Apparently his hatred of black women, thanks to his mother's actions, has led him to also attempt as much as possible to be as white as possible.**

Mia Love? What's to say about a woman who joined a racist cult, married a white guy, bleached her skin and straightened her hair?

Don't know much about Love but the rest I like for who they are, black isn't important. But I understand given the comments above by Dems why color becomes important.

So, @Howey (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=387), you count Mia Love as insecure about her race as Michelle O? You have seen all the wigs.... and she married a "halfrican."

What the heck does Michelle wearing wigs have to do with anything?

[Chris]

This is why liberal hate Clarence Thomas, What Clarence Thomas Learned from Malcolm X (http://reason.com/blog/2015/02/23/clarence-thomas-americas-most-influentia)


Writing in The Wall Street Journal this weekend, Fox News pundit Juan Williams praised Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as "the most influential thinker on racial issues in America today." According to Williams, Thomas "is reshaping the law and government policy on race by virtue of the power of his opinions from the bench." As Williams put it:



The principal point Justice Thomas has made in a variety of cases is that black people deserve to be treated as independent, competent, self-sufficient citizens. He rejects the idea that 21st-century government and the courts should continue to view blacks as victims of a history of slavery and racism.



Thomas certainly does reject many of the government solutions now in vogue for dealing with racial problems. But the source of that rejection is frequently misunderstood—especially by Thomas' liberal critics, who seem to think that he disfavors certain forms of affirmative government action because he believes racism to be dead and gone. New York Times columnist Charles Blow, for example, gave voice to that critique last year when he faulted Thomas for "being unable to acknowledge and articulate the basic fact that race was—and remains—a concern."

In point of fact, Thomas clearly believes that racism is a concern just as he clearly believes that the long shadows of slavery and Jim Crow continue to harm black Americans. Where Thomas differs from most liberals is in his pronounced lack of faith in the ability of ostensibly benevolent government officials to do the right thing.

Thomas made this point...

[Mr. P]

What the heck does Michelle wearing wigs have to do with anything?

She wears wigs to have straight hair, instead of …… whatever you call it hair.

[Chris]

She wears wigs to have straight hair, instead of …… whatever you call it hair.

Remember when she was into boob belts?

How many blond wigs has she worn? In fact, how do you know that she wore any at all?

[silvereyes]

"It's" hair.

Ugh. Nastiness.

So, it is okay for you and Cigar and others to be bigots.

I got it now.

[Mr. P]

Mia Love is pretty.

[silvereyes]

Bigots? Who and how so?

[Chris]

Whut? SMW is that you?

There was a big discussion of it some time ago, wish I could find it. But she was really into them for a while:

SMW? Relative of BMW?

LoL, says he understands why color becomes important to dems because of their comments, then later on backslaps buddy on nasty comment pertaining to black hair....

[Mister D]

WTF is a boob belt? Now Chris is a racist too?

[Mr. P]

Anyone who isn't willing to sniff Obama farts is a racist.

I understand why Dems want to try to use color to paint Reps as racists. Sorry I wasn't clearer.

The boob belt comment was meant to be funny. Sorry...was it me though?

[Chris]

Soon to become a fascist pig I'm sure! Let me help the poor darlings: Il Duce in a boob belt:

Like I said, it's pretty funny to try and slam one party for "being racial" then give kudos to another party for being racist. Both of you are intelligent enough to know what I said.

Pretty telling who doesn't find this statement being racist...."She wears wigs to have straight hair, instead of …… whatever you call it hair."

You still don;t get it. I was slamming Dems for slamming Reps for being racist. Or are you joining me in that now? No, you're hung up on hair.

That was Mr P who I don't know well enough to say whether it was meant with malice or not. Chris, on the other hand, I have chatted with on forums for a long time now. Not getting it...

Safety - Chris didn't say anything about hair....he is boob belt only....

[Safety]

Safety - Chris didn't say anything about hair....he is boob belt only....

I know he didn't say anything about the hair, he just responded with the boob belt comment. I took it as him accepting the comment and adding his own, all the while mocking democrats for being racial.

[Chris]

Nah, I'm a boob belt boy. Dems aren't racists so much as race card players.


This could have been an interesting discussion about why the people listed are influential.

Don't know. Probably indifference.

[Redrose]

You know "Black" is accepted race terminology, just like "White" is accepted race terminology. How about the old terms negroid and caucasoid?

How is that racist? What do you call hair of the type that Blacks have?

[Dr. Who]

Since not all blacks have the same hair - it's a difficult question. What kind of hair do white's have?

I like Michelle, actually, she'd've made a much better president than her hubby, what's his name.
