of course the republicans always like to put up their token black nominees... Clarance Thomas, a conservative asshole chosen by Reagan... Alan Keyes, who is literally insane, another Reagan appointee to the UN Condie Rice, another token idiot who "couldn't imagine terrorists using aircraft as weapons" despite all the intelligence suggesting otherwise Always liked Colin Powell but unfortunately he bought into the WMD lies... I think he was duped and then we have the modern day token black conservatives such as Herman Cain "999", and Alan West, another extremist nutwack sure, the Republicans will embrace some black folks when they are willing to be gung-ho nut-so right-winger

The thing is, in politics as it is in many other areas or spheres of life there will always be people of different persuasions, beliefs, prejudices, viewpoints, intolerances, considerations, .... you name it. That's human nature .... that's the way life has been and, undoubtedly, it will always be like that. The fact that there is a specific grouping of individuals in a particular political party, i.e. the Republican Party, whose views are not shared by others, especially those who are liberal in their beliefs, shouldn't be a reason to now assume that the whole of the Republican establishment is cut from the same cloth. I'm sure that, human nature being what it is, there will be those within the Democratic establishment that may also have their own prejudices, intolerances, etc.. etc.. And should that be the case it's no reason to assume that the whole Democratic movement is in sympathy with them. It just seems to me that there's far too much "generalization" going on. Good things have been done for America by those who were on the right of politics, as well as by those who were on the left. And those who did not, and have not, put the best interests of the American nation first, more often than not find themselves occupying the dustbin of history, ..... irrespective of their political persuasion.
