Republicans lost badly in the recent elections of Nov. 4, but apparently the lesson went over the heads of the Republicans or in one ear and out of the other with little to slow it down. When will Republicans cease playing racial politics … as they are again by raising from the dead the tired and racist “Barack The Magic Negro” song pushed hard by right-wing extremist Rush Limbaugh. It’s sad when this party is having so much of what it hopes to accomplish driven by someone like Limbaugh, one of the most divisive political figures/commentatorsin the United States of America. The GOP, however, is taking some heat for practically spitting in the face of black people with one of the candidates for Republican National Committee Chairman looking unbelievably stupid. The man’s name is Chip Saltsman, who mailed an offensive CD to a number of Republican officials containing numerous offensive songs, including “Barack The Magic Negro.” Hopefully the Republicans will reject this kind of racial garbage and prepare itself to become a more inclusive party instead of the exclusive and virtually all-white party it is right now. The Republicans must adapt with the times.
Here is a pssage from an article run by Politico:
In the “Republican Plan for Victory” that is Saltsman’s platform in the chairman’s race, he writes: “I believe that countering an emboldened Democratic Party, led by the Obama-Reid-Pelosi troika, requires an aggressive national strategy. This campaign’s message cannot depend upon traditional media outlets or communication methods. It will require building upon new media and developing and mastering new tactics.”
Apparently, the new media is an offensive CD and the new tactics include racially divisive words, songs and deeds from GOP leadership. Apparently this is Saltsman’s idea of an aggressive national strategy.
