Natl. Black Republican Assoc.

she was on Wash. Journal this a.m. telling us all how it was and is the republicans that are for racial equality and the advancement of black americans. oh yes. it's the democrats that are against the blacks and it's the democrats that have been holding back blacks.

she had all kinds of figures to quote. note: I didn't say FACTS and figures.

4. They were formed about 2 weeks ago. This has Rove's odor all over it.

Washington, D.C. -August 10, 2005 – A group of African American Republican activists, and their supporters from around the country, will announce the formation of a national grassroots organization August 15, 2005 at 1:00 pm (EST) in the nation’s capital. The announcement will be held at the law offices of Troutman Sanders LLC, 401 Ninth Street, NW Suite 1000, Washington, D.C.

“The creation of the National Black Republican Association is the product of the dreams and efforts of scores of black Republicans across the nation,” said interim Chairperson Frances Rice, co-founder of a black Republican group in Sarasota, Florida. “Black grassroots activists have always been involved locally and nationally within the Republican Party, but there was always agreement that we needed a national organization to represent the interests of Republicans in the black community. We also needed an organization that will effectively counter the disinformation concerning Republicans being perpetuated by the Democratic Party.”

The mission of the National Black Republican Association (NBRA) is to be a resource for the black community on Republican ideals and to support the principles of the Republican Party. The NBRA aims to increase the number of black Americans who vote for Republicans, and are active in the Republican Party, by providing information, networking opportunities and resources for black Republicans nationwide.

The National Black Republican Federation, the NBRA’s affiliated Section 527 organization, will identify prospective black Republican candidates for elected office and provide those candidates with financial and grassroots assistance.

"These are exciting times for black Republicans,” said Donald Scoggins Interim Co-Chairman and president of a black Republican group in Virginia. “One important aim of the NBRA is to empower the people, by championing opportunity scholarships for black children and helping black Americans move into our Ownership Society. With the help of our supporters, the NBRA will change the political landscape, for the sake of our future generations."

There is a VERY flattering picture of Ms. Rice (any kin to Condosleeza?) on the chairman's page. Looks nothing like the woman on C-Span this morning, maybe a college photo?

5. She's a piece of work, all right

She completely evaded every direct question that was asked of her, and instead, continued to launch into her rhetorical talking points and flawed statistics. I really liked the caller who pointed out that despite the decline in family values she cited since the sixties, there have only been TWO democratic presidents in office- the rest has occurred under the republicans' watch.

I wanted to call and ask her about the war in Iraq and the heavy-handed recruitment of black youths in inner-cities. I decided not to, mainly because I'm white and I didn't want to inadvertantly take the place of a black caller who would have more of a personal perspective to challenge her with.

I would absolutely LOVE to see Al Sharpton go toe-to-toe with her! :popcorn:

[donsu]

6. yes, maybe Al could take that paper bag off her head

so she can see the light

8. At the NBRA website she say the NAACP was founded by repugs.

In fact, most of the founders were socialists, and at least one was a communist. W.E.B. DuBois was an admirer of Stalin.
