1. That'd be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic.

[PatSeg]

2. Seriously, I know

And they don't even realize how pathetic they look. Who on earth do they think they are impressing?

[thucythucy]

30. White supremacists.

I'm pretty sure this is meant to mock efforts at diversity.

I mean, not even Republicans could be this dim, right? Right?

On second thought...

[PatSeg]

31. Probably more like a feeble attempt

to tell the world, "See we're not racist" (wink, wink), knowing full well no one is really buying it. Of course, maybe they ARE dim enough to believe some people are buying it.

[niyad]

3. Why are they embarrassing themselves like this?

[Harker]

7. It's Black History month and they feel left out.

They can also point to the dozen or so wearing "Blacks for Trump" shirts at his fascist rallies.

[niyad]

20. Of course! Not nearly enough caffeine this morning.

4. Meanwhile, in GQP universe they're plotting

to get that ratio down to 1 in 2000

[BlueIdaho]

5. Not only an awareness problem, it's also a math deficiency problem.

One half of one percent of all GQP candidates is black? Embarrassingly racist.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. It's worse than 1 in 200 because it's primaries: presumably more than 1 candidate in most primaries

So if the average is 2 candidates per primary it's twice as bad. 3: three times as bad.

7500 offices, 2 each = 15000 candidates. Divide by 40 = one in 375.

8. Because they don't have the moolah to buy any more

[YorkRd]

9. Actual and pathetic virtue signaling

[HUAJIAO]

10. Mr/Ms GOP. "I'm not a racist. My goodness, I have a Black friend."

[SouthernDem4ever]

11. Black repuglican still sounds like an oxymoron to me

why would people support those bent on hurting them, unless the plan is to infiltrate and purge the racists.

[Missn-Hitch]

25. I like the way you think. Maybe Herschel will recruit Mike Tyson and Bo Jackson.

Well, maybe Tyson is a little too on the nose.

Cheers!

[BumRushDaShow]

12. LOL

[TheBlackAdder]

13. For some reason, I don't doubt that's a record for them.

[Dan]

14. I hope the GOP waits for the Black vote to save them....

[IronLionZion]

15. They know that an unidentified black woman is completely unqualified

without knowing her name or qualifications. Just like Trump claiming black prosecutors would be biased against him.

[ffr]

16. Math doesn't lie.

[WestMichRad]

17. To put in in a different frame of reference:

That’s less than one black candidate PER STATE.

Pathetic!!

[niyad]

21. Just look at the progress: they have moved up from 3/5 of a person ton4/5!

[WestMichRad]

23. Ha! Good one! (nt)

[Missn-Hitch]

26. Bravo.

[yonder]

18. Yes, but are those 40 candidates American or African-American? Would Mitch know?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

19. K&R

[JohnnyRingo]

22. And 30 of those candidates will lose.

Because they're a black republican.
The write ins and none of the above will beat him.

[tclambert]

24. Will any of the 40 be allowed to vote?

[Missn-Hitch]

27. This wins!

[calimary]

28. This is such a great graphic.

A very GRAPHIC graphic!

With a message to match.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

29. They're only about tokenism.
