When Race Things Happen (Be Glad It's Made Personal)


This is so fucking cool, I'm already sewing hoods together for my friends who don't have one:
"Let’s review. 
After their drubbing in 2012, Republicans examined the wreckage and made two key, intertwined determinations: The party must be more inclusive (the word “inclusive” appears 12 times in the GOP’s official postmortem [PDF], called the Growth and Opportunity Project), and congressional Republicans should support immigration reform. Less than six months since the GOP published that retrospective, its prescriptions lie in tatters. The party’s on the verge of killing immigration reform; it’s reluctant to fix the weakened Voting Rights Act (thanks, SCOTUS!) leaving minority voters in Southern states vulnerable to a coming flood of suppression laws; and it has no interest at all in moderating its economic policies, which remain rooted in the idea that we already redistribute too much wealth to the poor. 
So after feinting toward more inclusive policies, the GOP might actually change nothing, and have no choice but to deepen its strategy of maximizing white turnout and depressing the minority vote. Its transformation into a white-only party will be complete."

BTW - any white Republicans around here into golf?

 I know some GREAT courses where I'm not allowed to play,...
