ORIGINAL: slvemike4u The debate at hand is that some here have alleged the Republican Party is "Structurally Racist" -- i.e., there are elements put in place to ENSURE minorities are prevented from advancement... not whether there are racist INDIVIDUALS that also happen to be Democrats or Republicans. Thus, I've asked those to provide their definitive proof of said alleged "Structural Racism", and they haven't... they only provide either (i) one person's opinion (the one referenced in the OP), or (ii) Michael Steele who's said the RNC needs more reach-out to African Americans. That's NOT proof of "Structural Racism"... not in any way, shape, or form. Bullshit,you are trying to move the goalposts here...no one is claiming that the Republican Party is running there own little version of apartheid...What is being asserted is that in tone and in fact the Republican platform has a subtle,yet ressonating theme of racism imbedded in it's DNA.....whether or not you believe that is unimportant...the fact is the black community believes that very fact...hence the 93% voting bloc that is delivered to the democrats election after election. The question is what will the Republican Party do about it.....early indications seem to be that rather than address this issue...they have decided to woo the Hispanic vote...why the he'll not...they can offer the same old fear of black,just tweak it a little to appeal to brown...instead of just white.
