Saying Something Nice About People You Usually Can’t Stand
The term black Republican makes about as much sense to me as a Vegas steakhouse or a Tiger Woods abstinence celebration camp, and yet, when I found out that 32 black Republicans were running for Congress this year I didn’t frown as much as I typically do.
Maybe because even though most of them are nothing more than black faces spreading the same messages conveyed by old white men, ultimately, maybe this will bread birth to some less irritating black GOPers with some new ideas. Meghan McCain with a tan, if you will.
So I wrote another piece for AOL News, if you’d like to check it out, click here.
If you’re wondering, yes hell’s temperature cooled by a few degrees.
I also wrote one earlier this week about Arizona’s immigration law and the need for real immigration reform. You can read that one here.

If more black people knew about the history of democrats and republicans, I don`t think Black Republican would be such an oxymoron. I do think that the conservative Republican ideal doesn`t fit the needs of Black people, though. We`re better off liberal/libertarian if we want to do something about our socio-economic status. However, I feel that any individual should vote for the party that most closely supports his own ideologies. What do you think, Cynical One?
