Why does the race of the candidate even matter? I’m Hispanic and if I were to run for office I wouldn’t want to be supported by any organization solely based on my race. I would however like to be endorsed by a Veterans organization because I chose to become a Veteran, I didn’t choose my race. I’m very proud to be Hispanic, but that has no bearing the performance of my job.
 
I don’t understand the race aspect in this post ?

Could you please elaborate?

I live in Canada. So no district for me.

Racial politics is a large component of the American political landscape.

Something like 90% of Black African-Americans identify with and/or vote for Democrats and particularly liberal left wing pro-abortion Democrats, which is the antithesis of traditional black family values especially because something like 50% of black babies are aborted.

We have Affirmative Action, which is primarily intended to help Black African-Americans, but which creates more of a dependency-on-government. And we have Black Victimology.

Believe it or not, these are real.

The idea that 32 Black conservative candidates are running as Republicans casts doubt on the assumption of hegemony enjoyed by the liberal politics / Democrat party among black voters and in black cultural values.

I strongly recommend people who may have missed some of these issues, read “Setting the Record Straight: American History in Black & White” by David Barton.

Here are some excerpts from the original article:

Nearly thirty-two African-Americans are running this election season as Republicans. If you only watched the mainstream media, you would think there were only three: South Carolinas’ Tim Scott, Allen West of Florida, and Republican strategist Angela McGlowan of Mississippi.

But there are 28 others who are running under the banner of Lincoln and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the most since reconstruction. Many are running in the deep south and maybe I shouldn’t use this word, but the south appears to be more “progressive” than its northern neighbors.

Many of the candidates have been endorsed by their local teaparties and the always controversial former Vice-Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin.

Maybe that is the reason the media isn’t reporting on these candidates, their endorsements from the tea party movement doesn’t jive with their premise that the movement is racist because of their disagreement with President Obama’s policies. Maybe the real truth is the tea parties descent is about ideology and not the color of Obama’s skin.

Among the many reverberations of President Obama’s election, here is one he probably never anticipated: at least 32 African-Americans are running for Congress this year as Republicans, the biggest surge since Reconstruction, according to party officials.

The House has not had a black Republican since 2003, when J. C. Watts of Oklahoma left after eight years.

But now black Republicans are running across the country — from a largely white swath of beach communities in Florida to the suburbs of Phoenix, where an African-American candidate has raised more money than all but two of his nine (white) Republican competitors in the primary.

Party officials and the candidates themselves acknowledge that they still have uphill fights in both the primaries and the general elections, but they say that black Republicans are running with a confidence they have never had before.

Interviews with many of the candidates suggest that they felt empowered by Mr. Obama’s election, that it made them realize that what had once seemed impossible — for a black candidate to win election with substantial white support — was not.
 
Race is a very important issue. Partly because it has been claimed for so long that the Republican party has never been attractive to the African-American community.

Not so, not so.

Anyway, who are these people?

Hiram Rhodes Revels

Benjamin Sterling Turner

Robert Carlos Delarge

Josiah Thomas Walls

Jefferson Franklin Long

Joseph Hayne Rainey

Robert Brown Elliott

How about:

Richard Cain?

James T. Rapier?

John R. Lynch?

Anyone care to identify these men?

Hint: Black African-American Founding Fathers, some of whom get credit for winning the American Revolution … War for Independence.

I’ll be the ranch they don’t get an NAACP endorsement. But anyway, I think this post should be moved to World News.

A similar thread in World News was closed because the article used was not a news article.

Social Justice seems to be an appropriate substitute.

Although it is true that 32 candidates entered the Republican.primaries, that doesn’t mean they will win their primary. For example, the North Carolina Senate candidate you list did not win.

The same is true for candidate for the 5th district of Alabama .

I just picked those two at random because I knew the states had held their primaries. Many states have not done so yet.
