Why Does the RNC Fear a Black Debate?

This past week the RNC released a presidential debate schedule that includes most of the mainstream media and the Spanish language channel Telemundo. Noticeably absent is a move to reach out to African Americans.

In 2008, there was such a debate on PBS hosted by Tavis Smiley that was attended by Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, Alan Keyes, and others. The more establishment candidates at the time, such as Mitt Romney and John McCain, had scheduling conflicts. If such a debate were to take place today then it would be considered a non-sanctioned debate. Any candidate attending such a debate would then not be allowed to participate in any of the following sanctioned debates.

We can make educated guesses at which prospective 2016 candidates would attend and which would not. Likely to attend would be Mike Huckabee, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, and Rick Santorum. Mitt Romney would no doubt have a scheduling conflict, as would Jeb Bush, and Chris Christie.

Are our 2016 candidates so weak kneed that the RNC believes they cannot countenance a debate like the one from 2008? What candidates of ours, if any, are willing to buck the RNC and say right now that they will not abide by the silly rules. Let’s see Reince Priebus and the RNC penalize candidates who attend a “black debate.”

Because it's really scary?

Because if you watch the 2008 debate you'll see that Ron Paul kicked ass. Rand Paul would similarly do very well.

 

[William Tell]

Rand Paul would attend, I wonder if he would actually call for such a debate? Its an interesting idea, I actually don't know if anyone would dare to avoid it this time.

 

[taxman10m]

It would be awesome if he did. Take this ball and run with it. The RNC provided Rand with an opportunity to stand out, reach out, and flip the bird to the establishment all at the same time.

Oh for Pete's sake!

Should they do an Indian debate, Korean, German, Italian?

Or is it just skin color?

What amount of melanin should be cut off or included?

This idea of a separate "Black" community chaps my ass...


Now if you'd like to discuss holding debates in foreign languages we could do that too............I'm dead set against that also.

It would certainly be pandering. But they are already going to air a GOP debate on Telemundo. The GOP leadership likes pandering.

Black people do have their own community, and their own culture, genetic lineage AND political issues as does every other race to varying degrees. Nothing wrong with that, except that black issues tend to be anti-liberty, but that's a problem from our perspective not theirs.

Lol. BET would never accept a Republican debate. Black people would have a field day with the stupidity of Republicans.

Exactly! And this also explains why the GOP had to get rid of Michael Steele. He had warmed up to the Paul's and with him at the helm the All American President Forum debate was certain to happen.

For those who have forgotten how much Ron Paul kicked ass at this debate in 2008....
