Tea Party Could Put Record Number of Black Conservatives in Office
New American ^ | 29 October 2010 | Raven Clabough

Despite allegations of racism in Tea Party organizations, the Republican Party, and conservative groups, 2010 has witnessed more black Republican activism than ever before. Thirty-seven African Americans in 16 states have been in contention for seats in the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives this year.

Fox News reports, “The Republican Party is hoping to put a record number of African Americans in Congress after Tuesday’s election; despite the fact the first black president is highly unpopular within the party.”

Sssshhhhhhhhhh. It's all part of our secret "evil" plan to put AMERICANS (regardless of skin tone) back into our government!

So the vanilla-tinted MSM called black candidates “Uncle Toms?” Smart.

Uncle Tom was a hero.

MSM?

Free Republic, Fox News, Washington Times et al are the new MSM.

You must talking about the state run MOP - Ministry of Propaganda - like NPR that few watch, read or listen.

perhaps someone has mentioned this, but if not: imagine, savor, the notion of a republican majority in the congressional black caucus!

The Republican Party doesn’t *put* people in Congress.

Patriotic Americans offer their time and effort to serve the voters as citizen representatives. Party affiliation is secondary. Race is immaterial, but principles and honor are sacred.

Fortunately, conservatives of all backgrounds are finding the courage to run for elective office.

God Love You, Col. Allen West.

I’ve always been curious as to why the MSM and their allies us ‘Uncle Tom’ as a synonym for ‘traitor’. In the Harriet Beecher Stowe novel, Uncle Tom allowed himself to be beaten to death by Simon Legree and his henchmen, rather than give the location of two runaway slaves. This is not the action of a servile lackey. Perhaps we should start referring to the reverend Sharpton and his ilk as Samboes and Quimbys, after Simon Legree’s enforcers.

If we can’t get rid of Barney Frank or San Fran Nan...this would still be highly rewarding.

Is the Black Caucus even reachable with the numbers?

I’m sure Jessie and Al and John and Charlie and Maxine are proud of their brothers.

BTY, are you aware that articles from thenewamerican.com do not have to be excerpted?

Yep this would be great. I would love to see more black and other minority Republicans. The Republican agenda is color blind, and appeals to anyone who favors limited government and lower taxes, among others.

I hope this is true. But just wait for the Oreo Jokes from the H-Wood elitists.

Then ofcourse we will all see who the REAL racists are, now won’t we?

The half educated lackeys in the MSM didn't actually read the books to which they refer.

They aren’t really “black.” I’m told this all the time.

The ONLY reason it matters is that they have lied incessantly about our being racists for decades, and I, for one, have had ENOUGH.

This is great news, and I intend to spread it around.

“Oh man wouldn’t that be poetic justice. LOL”

Yes it would, but don’t expect the bastard media to notice.
