While open minded Americans of ALL colors see this image of Mitt Romney
Internet traffic; this morning’s appearance on the radio and listening to Black liberal voters on sidewalks discuss Mitt Romney confirm that the Left has them thinking he’s a latter White Citizens Council chairman hell bent on re-instituting slavery???
The fact that American Blacks have suffered more under Obama’s fiscal fumbling than others has yet to have them wonder if he’s out to get poor and middle income Blacks.
Visions of Romney on a big white horse with a torch setting social programs ablaze while imposing Jim Crow 2.0 have seized the Black liberal mind the way the White House intended.
Unless the Republican nominee is seen as a Klan type they fear we may not vote in sufficient numbers for Obama to be reelected.
One Black liberal site, Loop 21, went so far as to post this article, ” Is Mitt Romney in The Klan? ” because of a campaign slogan. http://loop21.com/mitt-romney-klan
Lost in the cognitive shuffle is the slap in the face this delivers to Romney; his family and White supporters who, while conservative, aren’t ” conservative ” like the violently racist Civil Rights era South was in the 1960s.
Just like it hurts liberal Blacks to be called racist backing Obama based on color alone, the same holds true when Whites hear the same for supporting Romney.
This moral myopia creates hard feelings that don’t disappear anytime soon. Numbers-driven Republican strategists dismiss Black voters because of this attitude.
The Romney racism charge is a catch-all accusation lumping him with alleged Tea Party bigotry;presumed GOP partisan and the facts he’s White; wealthy and for some, a Mormon!
Whipping Black liberals into a fervor is the only game plan for an administration whose negative impact on Black America itself could be labeled racist were it more politically free.
If race-baiting frenzy is all many Black Democrats have to contribute to Obama’s cause is it any wonder he only remembers them in the 11th hour of a rocky reelection bid?
