White's Only - the pefect leader for the RNC

[Ravi]

Katon Dawson, the South Carolina GOP chairman, announced his candidacy for RNC chair yesterday.
And guess what: Back in September, when Dawson was first quietly laying the groundwork for his RNC run, The State newspaper reported that he resigned his membership in the nearly 80-year-old Forest Lake Club. Members told the newspaper at the time that the club's deed has a whites-only restriction and has no black members.

When questioned about the low percent of Blacks in the RNC and no Black Republican Senators, O Really just pooh, poohed it and said no one knows why it's so.

Right.

No much you can look up about the actual "deed"... could very well be that 80 years ago or whenever it was founded, it was indeed "whites only"... as many 'clubs' were back then... however, I seriously doubt that still exists or has existed since this guy was a member... if I am wrong, someone please correct me...

But if this is the case.. it would be like persecuting a person for their great great grandfather owning a slave.. or persecuting a person for choosing to live in a town that used to have segregation rules

I somehow think that the far lefties are blowing this way out of proportion

I'm noticing a general trend away from the no black conservatives thing. It's definitely a growing trend especially in places where blacks are solidly in the middle and upper income brackets and they can see the load of shit the black population has been fed by the other side.

Blacks have paid the price in nearly every possible way for the failed policies of the left. They have had their families torn apart by the Great Society that made it profitable to exclude the father from the family unit.

They've been propagandized to believe that by tossing a few trinkets their way, like affirmative action and other small change payments (notice never enough to make any real difference, just enough to keep them in a permanent state of poverty and dependence), the Democrat party is doing their bidding. When instead, the Democrats have reinvented the Plantation and have their blacks firmly ensconced on it. Their families just as torn as they were in the worst days of slavery by the immoral policies of the left. Kept in a new kind of slavery to the government by propagandizing them into believing they can't do anything without a program or a handout or a hand up from the government.

But gradually, the scales are falling from the eyes of the black people and they are beginning to see that they have been sold a bill of goods. Not huge numbers yet, but it was instructive to listen to the Conservative Black Republican convention a couple of months ago. The word is getting out.

Absolutely correct, and the GOP therefore does not need to do a darn thing to attract blacks because race no longer exists.

 

[DiveCon]

yeah, he shouldnt have resigned i guess

more partisan bullshit

It will always be an issue with Democrats, as it has been since they established themselves as the racist party.

And thats why you're an idiot with no credibility who has extreme views that are not only BS but absolutely lunacy

So... are there any more 'details' about this 'deed' and when the 'whites only' thing was? Is it, as I assumed, from the distant past? I am seeing nothing to change my opinion of this being nothing more than left-wing crapola....

There's a link in the article: S.C. GOP chairman quits whites-only country club - Local / Metro - The State

There's nothing wrong with him being a member of a white's only club located in the south, it's just funny as hell.

I read the articles and heard the news yesterday.... all that is said is that "it was in the deed"... but the fact is that these deeds of old country clubs were written YEARS ago in the time of segregation and sometimes in the age of slavery.... it has no actual bearing on the stance of the club today.... though it does make for a great chant for the muck raking uber-lefties

And as for me... if there WOULD be any club that is 'whites only'... I have a huge problem with that

Hence why I asked if there was indeed any further information that anyone else has found... or whether this was just more liberal hatred bullshit

State Rep. Leon Howard, chairman of the General Assembly’s Legislative Black Caucus, said he has known for years about Dawson’s membership in the club.

“There ain’t no white folks that are members of the Black Caucus,” said Howard, D-Richland. “Does that make me a racist? I don’t think so.

Totally different and you know it. One is a black Caucas for Gov't purpose and the other is a personal choice to join an exclusive club. This is another Strom Thurmond/Jesse Helms

tell it to leon, he seems to disagree with you.

 

[Ravi]

So Dawson is a wuss, huh? Even better as a choice for head of the RNC.

Hmmm... I guess one must be forced into the black caucus then... not a personal choice to join that exclusive club

White only aye... hmmm... I wonder how many black only things there are. If there is one race only things in America, as with all the black only things listed below, the vast, VAST majority of them are black only. There is no more racist people in America than blacks. So you're barking up the wrong tree if you think you're going to paint whites as racist over blacks. To put it bluntly, you're full of shit.

I was wondering why the Republican Party has become more and more like the Democratic Party. Most blacks vote for Democrats for handouts. I guess the Republicans wanted to get in on the action.
