Acknowledging someone's race is preferable to someone ignoring you. Where is the proof that they don't care? I think what you meant to say was that the RNC doesn't care about people of color. For instance, if black America actually thought they were included in the RNC's plan for a brighter future for them, we would have seen more black people in the crowd.

You do the math.

That tells me a lot about how inclusive the RNC is.
What we saw tonight, was more of the same swill (ie. we're in danger, we should all be afraid, look at me I'm funny that means I'm one of you) that Bush has been serving us for the last 8 years. Obama's speech was about moving forward, uniting the country and making it a better place for all of us. What we heard tonight was the same garbage dividing this country again.
The only minority groups Palin brought up were Yup'ik Eskimos and special needs children.
Palin seemed to forget for her entire speech that a lot of the problems she was pointing out were due to her party and the Bush Administration. The do-nothing Senate that she teasingly brought up is half Republican, if I remember correctly.
