Black Republicans
Is that an oxymoron? What type of black person finds him/herself identifying with Republicans? Politics is a dirty game and Black America has always come out as losers but even more so when the government is being run by Republicans. So how does one become a Black Republican? Are you filthy rich and reap benefits from the tax breaks the wealthy receive from Republicans or are you a Republican because you identify with the religious and "moral" belief's that Republicans preach about constantly? Perhaps a Democrat wronged you personally in some way and it's revenge, I don't really know. I tend to not discuss politics with people because it is a very dangerous subject and one never knows how the guy sitting next to you may feel. I don't take issues with anyone's political views as long as they can justify why they believe what it is that they believe in, only when one's reasoning is completely asinine do I take issue. I don't care if you are a member of the Democratic Party, Republican Party, Independents, Socialists, or the Green Party, if you aren't a true believer in what that party stands for then don't talk politics with me. Being black in a country run by the opposing race has lead us to identify with the lesser of the two evils, the Democrats. Liberals have done far more than Republicans have for blacks and that's not saying much. To me being a Black Republican is kind of like a slap in the face to our ancestors. Republican governments never lifted a finger to assist in helping blacks get past de facto and de jure segregation. So why should they get our vote to continue to disenfranchise black Americans. I'm not telling anyone what political party to identify with but if you are a Black Republican I see no need to announce it to the world because at the end of the day they don't really want you anyway and you will never be a part of the good ole boys club.
