Do you remember who founded this country??? Do you know that history??? Judeo-Christian WHITE people... I think you have lost sight of America, yes it is a melting pot, but it is not all about minorties??? I will be the minority pretty soon the way things are going, so stop your liberal pity party, it is getting old!!! Write substance, not poor minorties, with all the help we have given them ,they should all be doctors, lawyers, senators, etc, so stay on topic if you want to stay relavant!!!

Where are the minorities in your family reunion photo?

Few minorities on GOP podium
By NANCY BENAC

The Republican National Convention showcased a Native American color guard, a black preacher and video footage of civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks, all part of its effort to present the GOP as a picture of diversity. What it hasn't offered is many minorities speaking from the podium in prime time, or sitting among the delegates.

The convention has a decidedly homogenous look to it, coming hard on the heels of a Democratic gathering where minorities were prominent on the podium and in the crowds, and the spotlight focused squarely on Barack Obama's historic racial breakthrough.

Not that Republicans have been deliberately denying broad exposure to prominent party members from minority groups — there just aren't that many.
