After GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romneys rousing and effective convention acceptance speech last night, I found myself snapping my fingers as the GOP conventions band in Tampa played that old hit, Living in America. Suddenly, it dawned on me: Team Romney might be transmitting racial messages.
I consulted my copy of the definitive reference on this topic, A Black Mans Guide to Whiteys Racial Code, by Jesse Jackson and Kanye West (Sharpton Books, 2010). I flipped past the highly apologetic introduction by Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.). Just as I suspected, page 178 confirmed that Living in America was a Billboard Top 4 song by the Godfather of Soul, James Brown. This, as Jackson and West teach us, is a subtle message designed to remind Caucasians that President Obama has brown skin. Also, the song was written by Dan Hartman and Charlie Midnight. It doesnt get any darker than midnight.
Marveling at the high art of this inter-ethnic information transfer, I checked Romneys speech itself for additional clandestine, Caucasian communications.
Sure enough, Romney said, I grew up in Detroit. Michigans chief city is nicknamed Motown and was the home of Berry Gordys legendary music label, Motown Records. Motown made household names of such enormous talents as Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder. This reference very skillfully alerted white people that Mr. Wonder performed at the White House in early 2009, with President Obama clapping along with the rest of the crowd.
I also decided to review vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryans soaring and inspirational acceptance speech. It proved to be a veritable NSA of racial code.
In his exquisitely written speechs most eloquent line, Ryan remarked that the Obama presidency is like a ship trying to sail on yesterdays wind. One of Americas dirty little secrets is that sailing is a predominantly white pastime. Ryan deftly informed Americas majority-white yachtsmen that Obama is black. Surely some were unaware of this fact.
Ryan cited Solyndra, the half-billion-dollar monument to President Obamas bankrupt green vision, commenting on Solyndras gold-plated connections. While some might think that Ryan referred to the busted companys political ties to Obama, which yielded $528 million in now-rancid federal loan guarantees, Ryan actually tied Obama to the world of Gangsta Rap, many of whose stars wear gold-plated bling around their necks and even gold-plate their teeth. Some of them also have scored gold records, which drives the point home, oh so lightly.
Finally, at the end of his speech, Ryan kissed his blond-haired, blue-eyed wife. This was a covert signal to white Americans: Unlike Barack Obamas better half, Paul Ryans wife is white, not black. As a black man, it took me and my Jesse Jackson/Kanye West guide all night and most of the morning to decipher Romney and Ryans racial code. I truly envy my white readers who immediately could interpret the siren song of these dog whistles.
Well...
...SOMEbody sure did!!!

In the 1998 U.S. Senate race, however, Democrat Harry Reid won re-election by 428 votes over then-GOP Rep. John Ensign.
More than 8,000 voters rejected both men and opted to vote for none.
