6. Let's see what the Natl. Black Chamber of Commerce says while you rehabilitate him
That is a very important question to raise about someone who is seeking to become the President of the United States. This nation has a racist pedigree and it took a lot of bloodshed, holocaust and struggle to overcome it. If it is to survive in this ever changing and unpredictable world, it must never return to that flaw for it will, indeed, be fatal. So when I repeatedly hear about this issue of whether or not Mitt Romney is a racist I find it more than coincidental. Things keep popping up on this matter with the greasy haired candidate. Ron Paul voted against giving Rosa Parks a Congressional Gold Medal. He was the only congressperson to do so. That sticks on him permanently but that is all I know about his racial demeanor. But with Romney there is always something new...

Romney as an elected official has been known to make racial slurs. He has recently referred to a construction boondoggle, The Big Dig, as a “Tar Baby” he needs to avoid. Tar Baby - That’s an old school racial slur. It’s not something we want a presidential candidate to say and have such a thought process about...

Very recently, well known Black Republican J.C. Watts publicly complained that the Romney presidential campaign was absolutely void of Blacks, Hispanics or any other ethnicity other than white. It was lily white and this needed to be corrected proclaimed the former Black congressman from Oklahoma. When approached about J.C.’s comments on CNN News, Mitt Romney retorted, “What’s the charge? Is there something wrong with that?” He then explained that he hired only the best workers and if that means an all white staff – so be it. This, my brother and sisters, is “bigot code”. It is the same thing they would say to keep us out of the military, college and professional sports, the better public institutions and corporate offices. It wasn’t because of racism but that we just weren’t good enough and that’s how God made it. It falls right along with the “Cain Curse Doctrine”. Slick haired Romney is starting to appear to be very arrogant for all the wrong reasons. It is an aura about him that smells anti-American and anti-Christian. He appears to be a blast from the past and that is not good for us as a whole and harmonious society.

Is Mitt Romney a racist? Racial slurs, racist upbringing, racist slights, racist hiring and racist excuses – seems like an easy question.
