Stop trying to prevent black people from voting. They hate this.
Stop trying to prevent the District of Columbia from having a vote in the House of Representatives. It is almost as if you don’t want black people to have a voice in Congress.
If you are a Supreme Court justice, don’t vote to uphold the constitutionality of legislation that is explicitly designed to make it more difficult for black people to vote. Again, it’s the voting thing. Strange, I know, but black people are very touchy about this.
If you are a federal district court judge, or even if you aren’t, don’t send out cheap, smutty, racist jokes about the president’s mother on your office email, or even on your own personal email. Somehow, blacks regard telling racist jokes as, you know, racist.
Stop parading around buffoons like Herman Cain and Allen West as proof that you like black people.
Stop denouncing affirmative action, and then, at the Republican convention, put more blacks on stage than are in the audience.
Stop supporting state control of Medicaid because you think it will hurt blacks and opposing state control of welfare because you think it will help them.
Stop saying that President Obama wasn’t born in the U.S.
When President Obama passes national health insurance, first proposed by Harry Truman, don’t say that it proves he’s a Kenyan socialist.
If you’re John Sununu, stop saying that the President needs to learn how to be an American.
If you’re George Will, stop saying that Americans only voted for Obama because he’s black, and then support Marco Rubio for President because he’s Hispanic.
If you’re Rush Limbaugh, shut up.
Read Cord Jefferson’s brilliant piece in Gawker about how Republicans are driving blacks out of their party.
