Liberal group calls Romney too white for blacks to like

In advance of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s speech Wednesday to the NAACP, a liberal group headed by a former New York Times reporter and ex-Media Matter executive have produced a video “satire” that claims blacks don’t like Romney, who they dub so white he makes “Wonder Bread look like pumpernickel.”

The YouTube from “The Message,” an online “media hub,” is described as a satirical video of Romney getting advice on what to say to the civil rights group. Or, as they said in a release, the video “lacerates Romney and his advisors as they prepare for his speech to NAACP in Houston on Wednesday.”

The lead “advisor” in the video is described as the brainchild of the 1992 Willie Horton ads and the 2004 swift boat campaign. He states bluntly that “blacks don’t like us and we’re about to give a speech to a whole lot of them.”

He also says to the candidate, “you are so white, you are extremely white, you make Wonder Bread look like pumpernickel,” before advising the Romney actor never fully seen to “go on out there and get all Mormon, Martin Luther King on them, you’re going to be great.”

According to a news release, The Message said it plans to use videos to “say things that Democrats are afraid to say, connect with young voters-many of whom are alienated by today’s political climate, and give smart and insightful voices an opportunity to contribute to the debate.”

The group is directed by Razor & Tie co-founder Cliff Chenfeld, former Media Matters for America president Eric Burns, former AOL chief creative officer and co-founder of theknot.com Michael Wolfson, and former New York Times journalist Andrew Zipern.

If I was black, I’d like to be like Alan West. I wouldn’t want to be like Al Sharpton. Is that racist?

Are you White? Are you breathing?

I think that qualifies you in this day and age.

In direct answer to your question, absolutely not.

Why stop there? He "also" fabricated the forged National Guard Memos that blew up in AlGore/DanRatherbiased's face and the Hitler diaries.

That’s simply not true. I don’t know if it’s 90 percent or 99 percent, but I know for a fact it’s not 100.

Careful, in some corrupt districts it is 110%.

No. It’s not “whatever”. We have had some solid black conservatives on this forum. They’ve earned respect.

Anti-white racism (and I mean blatant, in-your-face racism) is now perfectly acceptable in America.

Yes. I think this is a wasted effort since over 90% of black voters will vote for Obunghole no matter what. Racist or stupid, what other explanation is there for those numbers?

“American black culture is obviously delusional... or really racist..”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Not to be argumentative but after long observation of the human condition I can safely vouch that the two are NOT mutually exclusive. I would suggest changing or to and or. Of course there is a certain segment for which you would be safe in just using and without the or.

“Funny how Democrats are now the “civil rights” party.”

More like bizarre, it is like chickens voting for Col. Sanders or rabbits demanding to be taken care of by foxes.
