Yes, Virginia, There Are Black Republicans (?) Part II

Part of the RNC site is its page devoted to heroes of the Republican party. It really stands out on the first page of thumbnails that there was a very high ratio of black Republican heroes. Take a look. I've identified the black heroes with the letter "N "for "Not Your Average Republican."





Frederick Douglass and Jackie Robinson jump out at most of us. They've been the rock stars of Black History Month forever. Old Pinkney Pinchback, Jose Celso, Barbosa, Joseph Rainey, Octavius Catto, and Hiram Revels don't get a lot of mention by comparison, but here they are at the Republican party website. I recommend anyone who is curious to take a look at gop.com. But don't do anything crazy.

    Better to laugh than cry, I'm told so this is still cracking me UP -- thanks to your spin. (Refuse to go directly to gop.com for fear I might catch something nasty over there. I prefer to rely on you and Keith and Rachel to keep me up to date.)
