"Beyond the GOP's reality-challenged speeches, there was the startling image of a nearly all-white convention - where only 36 of the 2,380 delegates were black, the smallest number in at least 40 years - rollicking in ridicule and bristling with animosity toward Obama, an African-American."

America is over 25% Minority. NOT the GOP!

Here's a clue for ya: America is only about 12% black/AA. And looking through the convention crowd, I saw blacks/AAs in the crowd all right. Just about 10-12%, in fact. I also saw Asians, Mexicans and what looked to be Indians (East) and a few Hawai native-looking folks. What you idjits seem to forget (deliberately) is...America IS mostly WHITE (frickin duh!).

Unlike the DNC convention crowd, which looked to be about HALF black/AA.....the Rep convention at least represented the real America more closely, instead of the America you la-la-lefties pretend we have.

"Just about 10-12%"

That is the biggest lie i have ever seen posted on the Fray.

Link or BLATANT LIE?

The U.S. population's racial distribution in 2006 was as follows:[19]

• Total population: 299 million
• White alone (including White Hispanic): 74% or 221.3 million
• Black or African American alone: 13.4% or 40.9 million
• American Indian or Alaska Native alone: 0.68% or 2.0 million
• Asian alone: 4.4% or 13.1 million
• Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander alone: 0.14% or 0.43 million
• Some other race alone: 6.5% or 19 million
• Two or more races: 2.0% or 6.1 million

Each of the above categories includes people who identify their ethnicity as Hispanic or Latino.[20] U.S. federal law defines Hispanic or Latino as "those who classify themselves in one of the specific Hispanic or Latino categories listed on the Census 2000 or ACS questionnaire - "Mexican," "Puerto Rican," or "Cuban" - as well as those who indicate that they are "other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino.""[21]

• Hispanic or Latino of any race: 14.8% or about 44.3 million.[22]
  • White Hispanic: 52.4% or 23.2 million
  • Black Hispanic: 1.4% or 0.62 million
  • American Indian or Alaska Native alone: 0.74% or 0.33 million
  • Asian Hispanic: 0.34% or 0.15 million
  • Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander alone: 0.09% or 0.04 million
  • Some other race alone: 41% or 18.2 million
  • Two or more races: 3.8% or 1.7 million

...with minorities in a blatant display of anti-white racism?
