Black GOP candidate: Georgia Republican Assembly is ‘full of a bunch of damn bigots’

[DonViejo]

A black Republican candidate who hopes to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate railed against the “bigoted” GOP in recently published videos.

Derrick Grayson, an engineer and minister, regularly uploads videos to YouTube of himself speaking about various topics while driving. Grayson, who is running to replace retiring Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss, describes himself as a “Ron Paul Republican” in his videos, and often attacks the Republican and Democrat “royals.”

In two videos uploaded on February 15, the Senate hopeful lashed out at the Georgia Republican Assembly for excluding him from a recent straw poll, saying it was a symbol of a larger problem within the Republican Party.

“Now this is not the press doing the exclusion,” he said. “Remember, if you listened to me in the last debate in my closing remark… I pointed out the GOP is the one who has a mandate for more inclusion. I said don’t talk to me about inclusion when you have a party that sits silent at the shenanigans of the press at the behest of their corporate owners and these shoe-string-dangled reporters that do their bidding. Here this is an organization, a Republican organization, engaged in the same shenanigans. So, it is not the press.”

4. unfortunately

there are a helluva lot of Georgian citizens who are also "a bunch of damn bigots." How do you think the Republican Assembly got there?

6. I wonder if he will be sporting one of those new neato license plates

that wonderful Georgia legislature has just voted to have a Confederate flag on their state's license plates--------I wonder if any of those who voted for it are bigoted in any way?

8. Black Republicans are like Male Pregnancies. It just doesn't make sense.

When the Republican Party embraced the Dixiecrats from the old Confederacy in the 1960s, that was the last time ANY Black person should have voted for a Republican.
The so-called Party of Lincoln died in 1877 at the end of Reconstruction.
And any hope for some semblance of sense in the Republican Party died when they embraced the Southern Strategy.

Derrick Grayson is a pure fool & I laugh at his stupidity.
Let that Uncle Ruckus continue to bump his head on the doorframe & wonder why it hurts.

9. Any minority being in the GOP is mind-boggling.

They've become a party of 90% non-Hispanic whites who embrace neo-Confederacy and have alienated every race and ethnic group in the country. They lost the female vote by 12 points and the youth vote went to Obama by 68%. Demographics is a time bomb that is going to blow them up into obsolescence. Maybe African-Americans and other minorities can participate in rebuilding a more moderate conservative ideology from its ashes in the far future, but not the way it is now.
