Oh, come on John! The Republicans make sure that there's a lot of diversity ON THE STAGE at their conventions. If they just had a few elected blacks, people might even believe them. answers.com Checking the list, Republicans used to have ALL the black elected representatives, after the civil war. In the '30's and forties, the situation reversed completely. It's hard to believe that Lincoln was a Republican. I doubt he'd be one today.

and that's where democrats keep them, under their thumb.... news.bbc.co.uk President George W Bush has produced a cabinet team which is the most ethnically-diverse in US history, but is politically right-wing. He promised to to take an inclusive, bi-partisan approach to government, and his cabinet nominees include four women, two African-Americans, two Hispanics an Arab-American, a Japanese-American and a Chinese-American. But although the team includes one Democrat, the key members are hardline Republicans, and several served in George Bush senior's administration.
