RNC Convention.....

[tricky]

When asked about the RNC lineup, McCain's campaign manager Rick Davis said:

'the senator wanted the list of speakers to showcase the "diversity" of the Republican Party.

"I think one of the things that is important, especially for John McCain, as unique a politician as he is, is to demonstrate the diversity and differences of ideology I would say of our party," Davis said. "I think one of the things that people forget about is we are not a very monolithic as a party. We really want to show some of that."'

Nothing like a bunch of old rich white guys to showcase the diversity...

[PETA]

Lol - the GOP and Bush administration has had greater ethnic and gender diversity than any administration ever.

Now, find me the people in Congress who are not rich and white..... regardless of party.

Not gonna find many.

See that's the shitty argument from lefties.... if they're minorities and conservative or republican then they're just house niggers and not really black. Way to go Harry Belafonte.

And no I wasn't referring to them though they are obviously the most recognizeable because of the prominence of their roles.

During an interview with Ted Leitner for San Diego's 760 KFMB, in October 2002, Belafonte referenced a quote made by Malcolm X.[18]

Belafonte said:

"There is an old saying, in the days of slavery. There were those slaves who lived on the plantation, and there were those slaves who lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master, do exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him. That gave you privilege. Colin Powell is committed to come into the house of the master, as long as he would serve the master, according to the master's purpose. And when Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture. And you don't hear much from those who live in the pasture."

Belafonte used the quote to characterize both former and current United States Secretary of State Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, both African-Americans. Powell and Rice both responded, with Powell calling the remarks "unfortunate"[19] and Rice saying "I don't need Harry Belafonte to tell me what it means to be black".
