Went to my local GOP county convention yesterday as I was an elected delegate. I stood out because I look younger than everyone and I am brown/hispanic. I get a long great with the party leadership so it wasn't akward or anything. In fact I helped organize in the morning and was one of the persons checking delegates in.
.
Sometimes it makes me wonder though if the majority of the GOP is actually racist against a black leader. I mean Santorum's senate record matches Obama's current policy and Romney even invented american social medicine via government. So it is almost like they are OK with Obama's policies as long as they are administered by a white person. Anyone else feel this way?

I think you get a lot of satisfaction out of being "different".
I also think the "special snowflake" feeling is for suckers and doing hard work without recognition beats feeling special because you got a tattoo of a turd on your face.
But hey, even Mike Tyson isn't a total loser and everyone has a chance at redemption.

I don't mind being different. I have really come to accept being different and there is a lot of peers in the party that give me a lot of respect and admiration for being a republican and also being hispanic. I have even been approached by the leadership to see if I can start a republican hispanic caucus. This post really was just how I didn't understand how republicans can hate Obama so much as this was very apparent at the convention yet they would support Romney and Santorum who are really the same as Obama as far as voting records and policy actions go.

I don't care if you're green or any other "color". People should be compared on issues only.

That should be the case. But why do so many republicans hate and I mean reallllly hate Obama yet they support white guys with the same voting records and policy actions?

Because those white guys have a (R) on the end. Race may be part of it but it's a tiny part compared to partisanship.

I believe there are a great many "minority" individuals that would show up at conservative and/or Republican/Libertarian function but are truly afraid of the backlash from the extreme folks within their neighborhoods and/or minority group and do not want to put themselves, their families or property at risk.

Why do so many Democrats hate Republicans for having done things they fully support Obama for doing?
It's a mystery.

Keep telling yourself that. I'm sure there is some guy like that somewhere but not many.
Conservatives have spent five decades villifying minorities as welfare leeches (which they started when it became unacceptable to villify them simply for being minorities, like they had before). You can't undo damage like that overnight.

I think it is the perception that blacks and browns are liberal. Even though the foremost intellectual on economics regarding minorities is Walter E. Williams you will never see a liberal media outlet host him since he is conservative and you will never see a "conservative" media outlet host him because his policies are so close to Ron Paul regarding economics.
