We have a candidate in Rick Santorum stating, “I don't want to make black people’s
lives better by giving them somebody
else’s money”. We have another
candidate in Ron Paul who published a racially insensitive newsletter
that bore his name that he recently attempted to distance
himself from. Next, we have a candidate in Mitt Romney who’s a member of a
religion, commonly dubbed as a cult, which banned people of African descent
from priesthood or participating in temple ceremonies and viewed black skin as a
curse from God (see my blog titled, Rev.
Jeremiah Wright, Jr. vs. Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. for more details on
this). Last, we have a candidate in Newt Gingrich who has a thirty-plus year
history of playing race and class warfare politics and refuses to address
President Obama as “President” (see my blog titled, I
Just Can't Put My "Finger" On It (Jan Brewer) for more on this). Mr. Gingrich also commonly refers
to America’s first black president as the food stamp president.

Please, continue to keep your eyes closed……can you see them?.......can you hear them?......now, imagine these
candidates being black……hold on, continue to keep your eyes closed……can you see them?......can you hear them?......now,
imagine yourself being black……now, open your eyes……I mean really open your eyes
people! You can make all the arguments you want to about how you don’t agree
with these candidates on the issues I pointed out but how you agree with their
political philosophies and so on and so forth. However, I’m willing to bet
everything I own that nearly all black voters (to include black Republicans) have
eliminated these candidates simply because of the issues I described above- and
maybe you should too. You see, racism is not just some “issue”; it indicates
cowardice and skewed morality. It’s not okay to say that you’ll vote for David
Duke because you agree with his fiscal conservative policies while ignoring
that fact that he is/was a card-carrying KKK member.

I understand that eliminating all these GOP candidates totally
wipes out the current field. Maybe the powers-that-be in the Republican Party
should introduce more options while there’s still time. I believe the GOP has
better options within its ranks. Imagine Herman Cain saying what Santorum said
(replacing the word “black” with “white”); imagine him publishing a newsletter
riddled with racial epithets against white people; imagine him belonging to the
Nation of Islam; imagine him saying the
nation’s first white president was nothing but a slave owner who loved
impregnating his black female slaves. Any one of these issues would have
promptly ended Cain’s career as a politician.
