RNC doing a very deliberate brownwash of their party for the tv cameras

[MariaM83]

... judging by their choices of speaking opportunities given.

Only problem is that almost none of the delegates are brown.

And none of the party's policies are particularly friendly to brown people.

1. Yeah. I think it was CNN (or was it MSNBC) who pointed out that the brown areas sending delegates...

have gotten plum seating arrangements at the convention, front and center, so that cameras would catch the brown people. Puerto Rico, some other area with African Americans (I forget what it is).

To be fair, both parties do that. Obama kept some of the brown ones, and definitely muslim looking ones, out of camera shots sometimes. It's staging. It's just smart to do that.

It's all so phony.

3. I meant the speakers though -- they're putting up every brown or female Repub pol they can find nt

[Honeycombe8]

5. Ohhhhh. Yes, I noticed that. And a black Demo who switched to being a Repub! What a catch for 'em.

That, I do not understand.

2. Appearance is all there is, no content, banal, hackneyed, rhetoric.

Digestible Androids.

4. now Condi is talking about poor women in Zimbabwe -- like Rand Paul talked about Cambodian immigrnts

[Honeycombe8]

6. Irony is that Repubs don't WANT immigrants here unless they're educated professionals.

And they certainly don't want brown people living next door.

7. Imagine if the sign at Ellis island read

" Send me your Affluent & Educated "
