I agree that it's just another way that the liberals use race to divide and conquer. The real problem is--we let them succeed by allowing them to define us.
Personally, I think this fixation on the fine points of our ethnicity is not helpful. And I…
I agree with the sentiments expressed thus far in this discussion, that it is time for black Americans to let go of our "welfare mentality" and dependence upon government entitlements. Federal intervention in the black civil rights struggle was just…
Did duke promise to leave? I hope he takes the rest of his Dixiecrats friends with him.

- I am Dr. Jean Howard-Hill and I head the National Republican African American Caucus - NRAAC.
The NRAAC creates a new, exciting and positive relationship between the Republican Party and the African-American community; and increases the visibility and ranks of African-American Republicans who share some of the same core values as the Party.
The uniqueness of our organization is two fold:
1. Ninety percent (90%) of our membership are new republicans! This means we have successfully recruited from a fresh pool of voters who were either Independents, Democrats or non-voters.
2. The membership consist of ninety-nine percent (99%) African America people of faith, with more than seventy-five percent (75%) of its membership coming from the African American clergy and those in ministry, and ninety-five percent (95%) of its leadership being clergy and those in some form of ministry.
The NRAAC also serves as a conduit for addressing issues and concerns that are unique to the African-American community, and opportunities to work together with the Republican Party, and elected officials to find workable and amicable solutions. The creation of the organization offers hope for the betterment of the total community by building a stronger, more diverse, and more stable political environment, that strengthens our families, communities, and nation.
Our goal is 1 million by 2012, and 100,000 in 2010. You may ask why so many? As one who teaches Political Science at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, let me explain why. It is because political strength is in numbers! If you can show you have a substantial number of people who can stand as a voting block, and have the ability to finance your own cause, then you become a significant player within the political landscape. This is how we as African Americans get to the table, have a voice and are placed ourselves in appointed and elected positions.
The NRAAC website at www.nraacaucus.org, contains more information on the organization and its projects.
Also we have begun to make new appointments of regional and state chairs, and advisory board and national board members for 2010. If you are interested, and have decide to become a member, you may submit your name, bio/resume for consideration to jean.howard.hill@gmail.com or chair@nraacaucus.org .
Feel free to e-mail me at jean.howard.hill@gmail.com or jean-howard-hill@utc.edu, and to pass this e-mail on to anyone who may be interested. Tennessee, Ohio and Florida’s websites are up. They can be accessed at www.tnraacaucus.org, www.ohraacaucus.org, and www.flraacaucus.org The websites for other states should be up by the end of November 2010. We welcome members from all states!
I look forward to hearing from you, having you join our membership, and even seeing you at the April 16th – 17th NRAAC Conference. Our theme is: Setting the Republican Agenda to Include People of Color.
Dr. Jean Howard-Hill, Nat’l Chair

Chris Arps said… - Yes, Nate I was. It's crazy how this came about, but somebody from my high school sent me a link to join a "ning" site that was for graduates of my high school. Like I said in my post, I've always wanted to connect similar thinking AA's, and this idea literally was dropped in my lap!

- Syl and I, along with another gentleman, did a weekly radio show together a few years ago. I was the conservative, Syl was the moderate, and the other gentleman was the dashiki wearing, flaming liberal! We had a lot of fun. I think an internet show is VERY doable.

Chicken’s coming home to roost
Today I listen to the Michael Baisden radio show in shock. Yes shocked that he and many of his listeners were shocked and disappointed that President Obama was not receiving the respect due to him and the office he holds.
If Black political leaders are being disrespected much of this disrespect can be attributed to the willing acceptance of and in many instance willingly participanting in this activity. So long as the black leader being disrespected is a black republicans it is okay. One only n… Continue

What is Mutiracial
In recent months I have noticed an increased in conversation/pride of some Black people identifying themselves as multiracial. I think much of this can be attributed to President-Elect Obama’s arrival on the national stage.
This is no new phenomena to me as a small child it was not uncommon for a person with (so called) good hair to identify themselves as mixed with Indian blood.
What are the criteria’s to be multiracial? President-Elect Obama is multiracial but former Congressman (D) Harold F… Continue
