GOP to Start Affirmative Action for Racists?
Derrick Black won his election in November, but the Republicans will not seat him. They don’t like this Democracy thing when the son of a KKK Grand Wizrd gets elected, and they’re using some rules to force him out. But Derrick Black is crying “Discrimination!” He must want quotas, or amybe Affirmative Action for racists or KKK members.

amenable to racists? I think not.

6. So mid-Florida is more racist?
I'm not sure you're wrong, but bring some evidence, man!

8. I lived in Cocoa Beach
I found it not at all racist. Still, Brevard has higher education rates than most of the counties in the state. Is Palm Beach County so vastly different?

3. As much as I...
...despise the current incarnation of the GOP, it sounds like they are as disgusted by this loser as we are. Of course, that could just be lip service. In many parts of the country, racism has traded the white robe for a coat and tie - makes them more dangerous in my opinion.

Racism is not indigenous to the GOP. I have seen some here recently...

5. But they have to
go to the lengths of a loyalty oath? The Democrats simply don't have to do that to keep the racists out of the party.

9. Your have to consider...
...would you do the same thing? He absolutly has the right to be seated since he won the election, but if hes not supporting the GOP agenda (whatever that may be) then all they can really do is say he can't be part of their political party. I mean what is a political party really? Its like a Union for politicians so they can get their agenda in place, so if hes not supporting what they want they should say hes not welcome in the GOP but let him keep his TRUELY elected position...thats how America runs.

10. Understand you
The real story here is not the KKK guy claiming to be a Republican, but the incompetence of them allowing him to do so.
