You didn't even read what I wrote, did you?
You haven't even expressed a reason to believe the GOP is racist. It's against things like affirmative action. Affirmative action is racist, and so that's an anti-racist position. Some of its members are in favor of fixing welfare in a way that will in fact help black people. Also not a racist position. I'm not sure of any other parts of the platform which are related to race relations.
As for that Colonel, his position was not all that special. If it were, it wouldn't be filled by an O-6, who would otherwise be some brigade commander or division staff *****. He's chief of staff of a department, not even a presidential nominee. Unless he wasn't active duty when he filled that position? I dunno. But really, the fact that you can find one guy to accuse the GOP of racism in the upper echelons of the federal bureaucracy does not shock me, and is not of consequence.

We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

Originally posted by Zevico View PostEvidence for the assertion that he observed racists in his time. Who were they? What was the basis on which they were so accused? And so on. Also, open it on another thread.

Okay, so if he was active duty military at the time, which apparently he was, then he was just filling some staff position like most O-6s do at that stage in their career. If it were a high level staff position then an O-7 or up would be filling it, probably an O-8 or up.
It's a relatively prestigious one, sure, but he's less special than a congressional representative, by a couple orders of magnitude.

I hate you all for 2 reasons: 1) This isn't the first time MrFun has posted **** from Facebook without checking his sources. Can you even be sure this quote is real? and finally 2) If it is a genuine quote, who cares? Do you really think the assertion that the only reason to be hostile to this Admin is racial?I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio
