Are you really trying to say that the RNC understands the issues of minorities in our country?
You still haven't explained to me why there were not more people of color at the RNC tonight.
I would rather have a political party include people of many races in their convention than to ignore them. Where was the inclusion that the RNC showed?
I saw a white majority in the audience tonight and only a few black people. At the DNC, I saw a diversity of races.

And might I add, if it was Obama's teen daughter that was pregnant, I wouldn't see any GOP politicians jumping to her defense in the name of pro-life and the plight of teen aged mothers. I would most likely see the Republicans characterize the Obamas as some sort of dysfunctional family that they wouldn't want anywhere near the White House.
