Check this out: the African-American Republican Leadership Council!
http://www.aarlc.org/index.shtml

It's interesting to note that the council's 15-member advisory panel includes such defenders of equal rights for African-Americans as Grover Norquist, Gary Bauer, and Sean Hannity! :eyes:

1. There was a hilarious article about this
in 2002.....turns out the actual black people named on it were unaware that they were supposed to be on it.

2. I thought that African American RLC meant
that the people on it would actually be AFRICAN AMERICAN!? This is so stupid. Not only that, isn't it stupid that those African American Republicans don't understand that they're just being used.

3. Forgive Them

For they know not what they do.

As an African American I do not think that all of us need to think the same way, look the same or even vote the same way.

But, any Black American that would vote for Bush in this election, is doing it for the following reasons.

1. Think of themselves as really "multi ethnic" not really African American. In other words, they back away from being like the African Americans created on the main stream Media/stereotypes

2. Believe that because they are Republican, people will recognize that they are rich and believe in their country.

3. Believe, because Hannity convinced them, that Democrats just want a lot of programs that will raise their taxes.

The Republicans that I know are best described as " straight up and down" they only think one way. They never go off center. Their minds are closed/shut.
Their Minds Are Made Up Don't Confuse Them With Facts

4. Where's David Duke and Adolf Hitler (posthumously)???
They would fit in with "Hitler" Hannity and Gary Bauer quite well!
