At RNC event, speaker says African Americans have taken a back seat to gays, immigrants
The Washington Post's Post Politics ^ | August 26, 2013 | Aaron Blake

The Republican National Committee commemorated the 50th anniversary of the March of Washington and Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech with a luncheon Monday.

The most rousing speech of the luncheon came from Bob Woodson, the head of the Center for Neighborhood Enterprises. Woodson criticized black leaders over Trayvon Martin, the black Florida teen who was shot to death by George Zimmerman. Zimmerman was acquitted in Martin’s death. Woodson, who is black, said groups including gays and immigrants have been prioritized over poor black people in American society.

“Everybody has come in front of them on the bus — gays, immigrants, women, environmentalists,” Woodson said. “You never hear any talk about the conditions confronting poor blacks and poor people in general.”(continued)

Hollywood, music and literary celebrities joined hands with civil rights and political leaders in the massive August 1963 March on Washington, which climaxed in Martin Luther King Jr.’s epic “I Have a Dream’’ speech. “I could no longer pay only lip service to a cause that was so urgently right,’’ said actor Charlton Heston.

Woodson’s just getting an early start, eventually all the aggrieved minority groups will fight among themselves, to the death, for the lion's share of nothing.

I used to feel a little sympathy, now I direct you to find it between “sh!t” and “syphilis” in the dictionary.

This just makes me disgusted with the RNC, and the idiot conservatives who cheered this speech even more.

So is the RNC now going to pander to certain victim groups because the other side is preferring other victim groups?

Be your own damn man and stop constantly associating yourself with a particular group!

Don't come whining to me because your plantation master started favoring someone else!

Why do you think McCain, Rubio and 90% of the other Republican officeholders and consultants are pushing so hard for illegal immigrant amnesty?

Republicans will not speak truth. This one dared to do so. White R’s are mute on the issues tearing down our country.

They can never hope to win the day by silence. They cower to evil, to all argument and disengage from honesty and truth. Their case to present to the people is not on even their own radar screen, nevermind the public radar.

This has to change.

I really don’t get it. If the white devils in AmeriKKKa are keeping a boot to your neck, who is stopping you from going elsewhere? Africa, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Polynesia and other lands beckon. We’ve had commercial air travel since 1911 and ocean liners for millennia! GO!!

I like it, and we need to do more. The democrat party is a collection of interest groups with their own, often contradictory agendas. Yes, there is a pecking order, and obviously to everyone, blacks are on the bottom. What he said was true. It doesn't hurt us at all to drive wedges in between these groups. Let them fight among themselves.

Let democrats be forced to justify asking for high black voter turnout, when all they get in return is crappy schools, an unemployment rate twice that of whites, and practically no job prospects at all for young black males, except to go into gangs and get shot.

My response is “I don’t hate gays. Let ‘em do whatever they want. Just not with my son.” Oh, wait a minute. My son would probably want to be with the gay guy. Okay, then, don’t be the other guy’s son.

53 million abortions helped...We have to keep the SS Ponzi scheme afloat long enough for the baby boomer’s to die off.

The media has set it up that blacks believe that Republicans put blacks in the back of all groups with the new voter laws. I don’t know how democratic media gets away with their lies. I don’t believe a single black believes that Republicans are for their best interests due to Democratic media.

Don’t let the whining and constant crying about racism fool you.

They know they have it better here than anywhere else in the world.
Where else will they get affirmative action jobs they do not deserve, Food Stamps, Unemployment checks , cars and big homes they cannot afford and get new credit and a new one , when the old one is repossessed.

They aren’t going anywhere, they have it great here, but like Midas it is never enough, they always want more.

After watching Dems this weekend over that DC rally I was thinking exactly the same thing.
