Shouldn't it be Mexican Americans for Romney
You guys don't seem to get subtle.
If Romney ran a polarizing ad like "whites for Romney" you guys would be ting all over yourselves and raising about Romney being a racist.
Probably - but there's a reason for that. Lets not take anything like this out of context of the 300 years.
Also, its not like whites are the underrepresented minority in government in any way.
Seems like some pretty convoluted rationalization to me.
I'm not rationalizing it. Ideally, no group should get special preference. We're a long way from that, however. Minorities are underepresented in government by a long shot, CC. White males, on the other hand, are just the opposite. So why play the victim card over something like this?
It's not a victim card. It is a legitimate question. Why can Obama run a racist, racially divisive television ad and not get called out for it?...Because he went to Harvard? Because he is a multi-millionaire?...or because his skin is is black? It's not like the guy has slave shackle scars on his wrists.
And what does the color of his skin have to do with getting a pass on being racially divisive?
Because African Americans are underrepresented in every way shape or form. You know better than to ask this question. I get that you think its unfair but I think its unfair when I look at census figures and virtually every socioeconomic indicator drops when looking at minorities in this country. The system does not treat us all equally.
If an ethnic group's biggest gripe is that they don't get to run the same type of political ads as another who's socioeconomic status is 2nd class by every indicator then perhaps some perspective is needed.
I simply don't get the rationalization that it's ok to be a racist if you are black.
How exactly is that ad racist?
Being racially divisive is an act of racism.
I guarantee if Romney ran a "whites for Obama" ad you would call him a racist.
racism sucks !
Yeah I really went out on a limb
Why do you think these ads happen, CC?
More specifically, why do you think they happen without being called racist?
If Obama were rejecting white votes and support, that would be divisive.
So this is obviously racist because blacks are not included.

Yeah, but crackers like you aren't welcome at African Americans for Barack Obama.
I don't think the groups themselves are racist because they are special interest groups pursuing an agenda. IE Hispanics for Obama want to elect Obama to pass laws they consider favorable to Hispanics.
I do think its racist that white people don't get the same groups, but I don't really think its a problem. It would be a problem if white people were actually falling behind. Right now the special interest group that looks out for white interests is the US government.
In short, there's no NEED for a Whites for Romney
You sure about that? Pretty sure they'd be willing to accept anyone who was there to pursue their agenda.
You'll have to prove that.
Personally I'm not real crazy about that either if Romney put the page up.
meh. You can always claim an ancestor in the woodpile.
But you'll stop short of calling it racist because why?
