This a question I often ask myself as I listen to politicians like Herman Cain or Marco Rubio. I know what the Republicans are saying about black people, Latinos, Hispanics and Mexicans.

Whether you are legal or illegal the racial insults and innuendo to you and your people must still sound the same.  Which makes me wonder in terms of dollars and cents, or a a title, or personal opportunity to enrich yourself or members of your family what precisely is that worth.

Fed up with Republicans

I know Herman Cain was cheap and I think Marco Rubio might have been even cheaper.

When you listen to a minority politician ask yourself how much did he get to go along with the things being said about minorities in America.

Pray tell, who says "Latinos, Hispanics and Mexicans are generally considered to be the same thing." you ?

Ask any of them if they feel they are the same as any of the others. Great differences in culture for starters. and the words Hispanic and Latinos, are words invented by the government first off to ID people on the census. Ask a Puerto Rican if they are anything other then Puerto Rican or a Mexican if they are like Puerto Ricans or Venezuelans,or Hondurans.

Now how can minorities be republicans? Because that is the idiology they believe in. Just ask the Governor of Puerto Rico who is a member of the National republican Party of the US.

By the way I answered no to the question "No amount of money could make me sell out my people". See my people are the American people regardless of any factor minority or majority.

Either you are just an American or you are a American who feels your are deserving of special privileges. The second group has the capacity to cause a majority of the problems. We are either all one people with allegiance America or we are separate entities vying for special privilege which tends to divide us.

Sorry folks, but allow me to educate you:

In most forms asking you to pick an ethnic group, Hispanic/Latino is usually set up as an option just like that. And for examples of Hispanic/Latino, usually you will find, in parentheses: Mexican, Puerto Rican, etc.

So, yes. They are for all intents and purposes one group.

And please explain to me how making such a distinction is somehow germane to the argument? Thank you.

We are one group in terms of ethnicity. We say either we're Latin/Hispanic or also, Puerto Rican (Boricuas), Dominican, Cuban, Spanish, Costa Rican (Tico/Ticas), Ecuadorian, Colombian, Peruvian, Venezuelan,etc. We also say, Mexican, Central American, South American, Spaniard.

But regardless, we are Americans. I can claim North American, Central & South American and be correct with all 3 or either one with Spanish, Italian and German thrown in for good measure. My daughter can add Japanese. She is bi-racial.

This is also interesting:

You are wrong. It's on those forms for the sole purpose of creating social and ethnic divide. As to the group in question being of the same ethnic group you are totally wrong, and don't have a clue that divides us as ethnic group. Just another word to try to put a stamp on a group of people that are individuals, or are Austrians and Germans the same ethnic group. And as to Germaine, it is because because the seeder made it a majority issue when he seeded the article, or are Blacks the only minorities in the USA >

So pointing out the major race issues of one of conservatives and republicans doesn't unite Americans? Why? Because it offends those who adopt the southern strategy yet again? Last week CPAC hosted a white supremacist that urges ignoring minority concerns to focus exclusively on white voters...does that unite the country? not a word of protest was raised by the repub candidate, forget about an appropriate boycott...how does that unite America?

When you listen to a minority politician ask yourself how much did he get to go along with the things being said about minorities in America.

In some cases, it may only be the price a gold chain, and new Cadillac, a new pair of shoes, a date with a white woman, an opportunity to be the only minority to be invited, and leave alive a klan party, a co-signer, etc........I swear to you, whenever I see Cain, Rubio, Steele,etc, I'm wondering what color did they chose for their new car.

    What the hell, they have been getting screwed by the democrats for decades.

    sistagirl

    More white people get foodstamps because there are way more whites than blacks.

    As of June 2011 there were 45,183,931 people on food stamps. Of that 35% are white or 15,814,375 white people. 22% are African American, or 9,940,264 black people. Given that there are roughly 220,000,000 white people and roughly 40,000,000 African Americans in America, that comes out to just over 7% of white people are on food stamps, and just under 25% of African Americans are on food stamps.

    Fairness is not considered when you wish to confiscate legally and rightfully earned money from those who YOU consider to be too rich or too successful. Right....fairness is a strange bird, when applied to ALL the people, and not just the rich.

    The percentage argument that people make when it comes to the number of white people on food stamps vs black people is idiotic.

    Is $15,000,000 dollars more or less than $9.000,000 dollars.

    Yes it is!

    And no matter how you look at it 15,000,000 is always more than 9,000,000 whether it is rocks, marbles, donuts or food stamps.

    Tyler...you want to go back and think about the hostage taking the repubs set up right around Christmas time with holding up the unemployment for the average citizen just so they could extend the Bush's tax cuts? Shall we remind the people about that little hateful example of the republican party? How about during the 2010 mid-term when we had republican candidates demonizing the unemployed that they were lazy and doing drugs? We still got those same teapartiers that were voted in the house right now trying to pass legislation to make every person getting unemployment to take a drug test in order to get and keep their benefits. Shall we remind the American people of the number of filibusters since Obama was sworn in done up by the republican party in order to keep anything from getting accomplished? How about voting no on bills the repubs once even co-sponsored? I don't remember my voting for Boehner to become speaker of the house playing spokesman by saying he knows what the American people want either, especially when polling shows just the opposite of his lying words. Why is it that since they won, that the polling shows their approval at ten percent? Why is it that this congress has been scored the least effective at this time in history? You think it got something to do with the republican leadership's number one goal? Yea, he sure is thinking about the American people, hu?

    #8.3 A report on NBC today claims more and more people are depending on public assistance. How can that be when this administration has claimed to create 3 million jobs? Shouldn't the number on assistance being going down?

    that's right Tyler, you and your crew expect immediate results to years of lost in our economy. Anything to keep the blame it all on Obama, but take no responsibility for how we got in this mess. Such shallow and simpleton thinking.

    And what exactly is Santorum and Romney saying about creating jobs? Romney wants more tax cuts for corporations...those job creators (so tired).

    #9.1 Isn't it hypocritical to rant at someone for daring to put any blame on Obama while you yourself continue to put it anywhere but on him? I don't call that broadminded. I would think a person talking about simpleton thinking would have the wisdom to see it in themselves. You might also want to remember what party it is that hypocritically screams "racism" to others that has shown their own racism on this seed.

    Tyler, what Santorum and Romney are saying now how they will govern will determine whether they are elected POTUS, so it counts. And unfortunately Romney is saying the same crap that the republicans done during Bush's time in office. And if you don't remember, let's rewind the video of 2008 of all those jobs lose of 700,000 a month. Play the video DNC for a reminder!!!

    Also the republican had a choice to either work with this dully elected President and they chose not to. So they will be blamed for their obstruction and hoping for defeat. Remember Mitch said what the game plan was, shall we play that tape too?

Shouldn't you know, for someone who says I have simpleton thinking, that the caucuses are part of the political process. That it is for the purpose of campaigning for their party's nomination. It doesn't automatically move them into the White House. I don't give a rat's behind about the DNC convention or the tape you are so fixated on. To your way of thinking about caucuses, apply that to why the democrats are having a convention since they say Obama will win by a landslide anyway.

    You are advocating that Democrats be overwhelmed by corporate interests and lose every election because their campaign funding is not build on a level ground. Hummm.

    You are advocating that Democrats NOT have a venue to present their platforms and make their major speeches. We discovered President Obama's wonderful oratory skills during the last convention. (It sure is a relief to hear a speech by our President that doesn't make us cringe.)

    You are also advocating that we do not insure that minorities are treated equally and leave it up to private businesses to regulate themselves in every instance. Hummmm.

    Are you forgetting about the bulk of people of who do not have a valid driver's license in order to vote, when false voting is a very minor problem today. Really makes me want to say, hummmmmmm all day long.

    Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Makes Racist Remarks!

    So at last we get to the purpose of this seed. The ever so over used 'race card'. Well, why didn't you say so in the first place.

    Quotes From Democrats On Race & Anti-Semitism

    Conservatives often believe that Democrats in general and liberals in particular get a free pass when it comes to race related remarks. Here are a few quotes that RWN has gathered up. Take a look at them and make up your own mind about the double standard...

    On Blacks

    (Affect(ing) a black accent to recount San Francisco mayor Willie Brown asking) "Who is this "Emily List? She's supportin' all these people. She's supportin' Sen. Dianne Feinstein. She's supported Sen. Barbara Boxer....She supported everybody. Why won't she support me?" -- Hillary Clinton. Source: John Broder of the LA Times

    "Some junior high n*gger kicked Steve's ass while he was trying to help his brothers out; junior high or sophomore in high school. Whatever it was, Steve had the n*gger down. However it was, it was Steve's fault. He had the n*gger down, he let him up. The n*gger blindsided him." -- Roger Clinton, the President's brother on audiotape

    "You'd find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they'd just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva." -- Fritz Hollings (D, S.C.)

    "Is you their black-haired answer-mammy who be smart? Does they like how you shine their shoes, Condoleezza? Or the way you wash and park the whitey's cars?" -- Song from the show of left-wing radio host Neil Rogers

    Blacks and Hispanics are "too busy eating watermelons and tacos" to learn how to read and write." -- Mike Wallace, CBS News. Source: Newsmax

    Black on Black

    "In the days of slavery, there were those slaves who lived on the plantation and [there] were those slaves that lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master ... exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him. Colin Powell's committed to come into the house of the master. When Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture." -- Harry Belafonte

    "Republicans bring out Colin Powell and J.C. Watts because they have no program, no policy. They have no love and no joy. They'd rather take pictures with black children than feed them." -- Donna Brazile, Al Gore's Campaign Manager for the 2000 election

    (On Clarence Thomas) "A handkerchief-head, chicken-and-biscuit-eating Uncle Tom." -- Spike Lee

    "He's married to a white woman. He wants to be white. He wants a colorless society. He has no ethnic pride. He doesn't want to be black." -- California State Senator Diane Watson's on Ward Connerly's interracial marriage

    Comments From The Past

    "Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds." -- Former Klansman and current US Senator Robert Byrd, a man who is referred to by many Democrats as the "conscience of the Senate", in a letter written in 1944, after he quit the KKK.

    "I am a former kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in Raleigh County and the adjoining counties of the state .... The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia .... It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in every state of the Union. Will you please inform me as to the possibilities of rebuilding the Klan in the Realm of W. Va .... I hope that you will find it convenient to answer my letter in regards to future possibilities." -- Former Klansman and current US Senator Robert Byrd, a man who is referred to by many Democrats as the "conscience of the Senate", in a letter written in 1946, after he quit the KKK.

    "These laws [segregation] are still constitutional and I promise you that until they are removed from the ordinance books of Birmingham and the statute books of Alabama, they will be enforced in Birmingham to the utmost of my ability and by all lawful means." -- Democrat Bull Connor (1957), Commissioner of Public Safety for Birmingham, Alabama

    "I'll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years." -- Lyndon B. Johnson to two governors on Air Force One according Ronald Kessler's Book, "Inside The White House"

    (On New York) "K*ketown." -- Harry Truman in a personal letter

    "I think one man is just as good as another so long as he's not a n*gger or a Chinaman. Uncle Will says that the Lord made a White man from dust, a @!$%# from mud, then He threw up what was left and it came down a Chinaman. He does hate Chinese and Japs. So do I. It is race prejudice, I guess. But I am strongly of the opinion Negroes ought to be in Africa, Yellow men in Asia and White men in Europe and America." Harry Truman (1911) in a letter to his future wife Bess

    "There’s some people who’ve gone over the state and said, ‘Well, George Wallace has talked too strong about segregation.’ Now let me ask you this: how in the name of common sense can you be too strong about it? You’re either for it or you’re against it. There’s not any middle ground as I know of." -- Democratic Alabama Governor George Wallace (1959)

    On Jews

    "You f*cking Jew b@stard." -- Hillary Clinton to political operative Paul Fray. This was revealed in "State of a Union: Inside the Complex Marriage of Bill and Hillary Clinton" and has been verified by Paul Fray and three witnesses.

    "The Jews don't like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that's a good name. Hitler was a very great man. He rose Germany up from the ashes." -- Louis Farrakhan (1984) who campaigned for congresswoman Cynthia McKinney in 2002

    "Now that nation called Israel, never has had any peace in forty years and she will never have any peace because there can never be any peace structured on injustice, thievery, lying and deceit and using the name of God to shield your dirty religion under his holy and righteous name." -- Louis Farrakhan who campaigned for congresswoman Cynthia McKinney in 2002, 1984

    'Hymies.' 'Hymietown.' -- Jesse Jackson's description of New York City while on the 1984 presidential campaign trail.

    "Jews — that's J-E-W-S." -- Democratic state representative Bill McKinney on why his daughter Cynthia lost in 2002

    On Whites

    "I want to go up to the closest white person and say: 'You can't understand this, it's a black thing' and then slap him, just for my mental health." -- Charles Barron, a New York city councilman at a reparations rally, 2002

    "Civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them." -- Mary Frances Berry, Chairwoman, US Commission on Civil Rights

    (I) "will not let the white boys win in this election." -- Donna Brazile, Al Gore's Campaign Manager on the 2000 election

    "The old white boys got taken fair and square." -- San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown after winning an election

    "There are white n*ggers. I've seen a lot of white n*ggers in my time." -- Former Klansman and Current US Senator Robert Byrd, a man who is referred to by many Democrats as the "conscience of the Senate" in March of 2001

    "The Medicaid system must have been developed by a white male slave owner. It pays for you to be pregnant and have a baby, but it won't pay for much family planning." -- Jocelyn Elders

    The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him. I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the lake of fire prepared for him from the beginning, that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years." -- Louis Farrakhan who campaigned for congresswoman Cynthia McKinney in 2002, City College audience in New York

    "There's no great, white bigot; there's just about 200 million little white bigots out there." -- USA Today columnist Julienne Malveaux

    "We have lost to the white racist press and to the racist reactionary Jewish misleaders." -- Former Rep. Gus Savage (D-Illinois) after his defeat 1992

    "White folks was in caves while we was building empires... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it." -- Rev. Al Sharpton in a 1994 speech at Kean College, NJ, cited in "Democrats Do the Dumbest Things

    "The white race is the cancer of human history." -- Susan Sontag

    "Reparations are a really good way for white people to admit they're wrong." -- Zack Webb, University Of Kentucky NAACP

    I find the premise for this article to be fairly hypocritical. If you were a minority how much would it take to sell out? Am I understanding this correctly? Going on my assumption, what liberal has the @!$%#ing right to even ask that question? If I recall liberals claimed Obama was not black enough, that he was not a minority. As I recall liberals also claimed that Cain was not a black man either. In fact liberals have claimed that any one of supposed minority membership that does not side with liberals are in fact simply white people of another brand. What bull@!$%#. And now they assume that one of minority status must have been bribed or paid off when they openly oppose liberals. What utter contempt and arrogance leads one to make these outrageous claims?? Sadly it has never occurred to liberals that these individuals have chosen another path because liberalism is an empty purse, a fraud, a bankrupt ideology so consumed with hatred and discontent that they have no hope of ever living up to their supposed tenets. One thing you can say about liberals though, they will be ones willing sychophant for free, provided you are on the right side of the issue. These people have not sold out, they have turned their backs on a dead religion known as liberalism.

    I'm an American Indian, and we are considered minorities by the US Government, and all others. And don't kid yourself or believe the lies that American Indians don't or can't vote, even if they live on a reservation.

    Indeed we do, and can. On June 2, 1924 U.S. Republican President Calvin Coolidge signed the Indian Citizenship Act, which made citizens of the United States of all Native Americans, who were not already citizens, born in the United States and its territories. Prior to passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens.

    "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States: Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property.

    —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924"

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States - Scroll down to the '20th Century' section.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    I will say that there have been times in history that American Indians of the many various Tribes have had no choice but to prostitute themselves to the white people and/or the government in order to survive, not just as individuals, but, to survive as a people. To do otherwise would have meant complete annihilation.

    And, I truly believe that if it were up to the GOPTeaBags today, they would not hesitate to break all the treaties with the American Indians and seize their reservations for the oil and other resources on them, and drive the Indians off the reservations and take away all their rights. They have always opted to break treaties with the American Indians whenever it suits their own agenda, just as Scott Walker and his bunch are attempting to do in WI for the mining industry, and the Koch Brothers.
    http://forcechange.com/12805/stop-wisconsin-from-violating-native-american-treaty-just-to-benefit-mining-company/

    So, why would any minorities, no matter what their heritage, want to prostitute themselves to the GOPTeaBags when they know full well they will only turn around and take their money back when they are finished skrewing them.

            Spike Evans - "Maybe you should ask some of your Native American friends this question. Oh, that's right. Most of them have been exterminated"

            Hmmmm...maybe you should do your homework on American Indian facts before making such a statement.

            Oh...that's right...you don't really care, or you would have done so before making that statement.

              Okay, let's back up here......

              And what would you do if you had to be the one to make that choice for the survival of your people as a race, or a species? Would you choose survival? Or extermination?

              Are you saying that survival means taking the money, and extermination means refusing the money?......or is it that survival is holding true to your values and putting a smile of God's face and not taking the money, and extermination is going to hell, eternal damnation and taking the money?

              I'm unclear which one you mean.

                How much would you prostitute yourself for the republican party and how much would it cost?

                I don't engage in answering negative presumptive and yes again, bigoted statements. You don't know me, nor do you know the other Viner you profiled. It's like asking you 'which would you enjoy more, beating your son or your daughter'. Kinda ridiculous don't you think?

                When you have an answer to my question's about your' clairvoyance' on my and Tylers hearts, and the equivalence of corporate legality vs generational entitlement prostitution, get back to us. If you can't distinguish the difference....then never mind.

                Chips are great with dip, but are quite pointless in social debate.

                If You Were A Minority Would You Prostitute Yourself For the Republican Party And How Much Would It Cost?

                  How else do you think and enemy can infiltrate and exploit any nation for their own military, political or economic advantage

                  Race is NOT a component to the enemies of our nation. Race is, however; a huge component in the internal race bating and eternal flamethrowers within the progressive movement, like Jessy Jackson and Sharpton. Race is internal, and trust me...Ahmadinejad want's to destroy all Americans regardless of their race. Color matters not. At least, he is an equal opportunity enemy, unlike the afore mentioned race merchants.

                  Well, if you look at the voting records of the American people, it seems most are willing to sell out everyone else by voting for the Republican or Democratic parties.....and they're willing to do it for a lot less than $1,000,000.

                  Keep stoking that RACISM. It's a liberal old favorite. Never let the facts get in the way of a good lie. This won't get as much traction as the previous thousands. It's untrue and very tired. Turn to the next chapter in your Saul Alinsky playbook.

                  I doubt seriously if you really know anything about Saul Alinsky other than what you read that Newt Gingrich said.

                  Really? Is this what progressive people think?

                  I assure you that people who are against the violent and social overthrow of our great country, people who pay attention to his vile and socialist rules for RADICALS, do in fact undersand what he was about. Perhaps not as detailed as our president, but be comfortable in the knowledge that we, at least most of us understand this danger to our society, and Speaker Gingrich has nothing to do with our knowledge. That is a cute sound bite, but not worth the key strokes. The threat that Alinsky and frankly, most of Mr. Obamas acquaintances are enemies of our way of life. The educated conservatives of America understand and will fight to the end, the creeping invasion of this stench into our great nation. All the deflections in the world will not wash away the blood on this movements hands, so next time you gleefully throw away someones criticism of progressive Socialism, Fascism, Communism and or liberal elitist secularism, grown on the backs of uneducated generational entitlement voters, (spare me the definition of each...I am quite familiar with each)..... consider that YES....most of us do know and will not forget what that @!$%# and his 'FOLLOWERS' are wishing for. When the liberal left lost well over 300 political seats 2 years ago, it was a message, and central to it was......NO HOPE AND CHANGE....SAUL ALINSKY STYLE.

                  ... and let's not forget who Alinsky dedicated his book "Rules for Radicals" to ... It was dedicated to no less than Lucifer (the first radical / rebel) whose ego compelled him to rebel against God and vow to convert or destroy God's Creation.

                  FreedomWorks, the tea party group headed by former Republican House leader Dick Armey, gives copies of “Rules for Radicals” to its leaders. “His tactics when it comes to grass-roots organizing are incredibly effective,” FreedomWorks spokesman Adam Brandon told The Wall Street Journal. Tea partyers aggressively confronting lawmakers at town hall meetings is straight from Alinsky’s playbook.

                  You guys are hilarious.

                  Articles such as this promote racial sterotyping by promoting the notion that conservatives and minorities exclude one in favor of the other. They do not.

                  I agree. The entire notion of this thread pits one race up against another race and doesn't exactly promote unity and harmony. If I thought that a majority of my race voted a certain way and I was in the minority of that particular trend, would I even care if I received monetary compensation if I was so inclined to vote for a particular candidate anyway.

                  It seems to me that many many people are voting against their best interest each and every time they pull the lever for Republicans, and they aren't getting any benefit from it, monetary or compensatory. But, yeah, if you slipped me a cool million, I might seriously consider voting Republican and even attempt to defend Republicans in a Colbertian kinda way.
