Suggestion to segregate black Republicans draws controversy

A Towson University student's suggestion that black Republicans segregate themselves from the rest of the party generated waves of controversy at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday.

During a panel that focused on attracting more minority support to the GOP, two black conservatives identified themselves "Frederick Douglass Republicans."

That label prompted Towson student Scott Terry to reply that a more appropriate moniker might be the "Booker T. Washington Republicans," who would be "united like the hand, but separate like the fingers," according to a video of the exchange posted by liberal blog ThinkProgress.

He also said slave-owners centuries ago should have been commended for "feeding and housing" their slaves.

After the panel, the blog reported that Terry asked, "Why can't we just have segregation?"

Terry, who was sporting a Rick Santorum sticker and claimed to be a direct descendant of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, told ThinkProgress he'd "be fine with" a society in which African-Americans were permanently subservient to white people. He also said African-Americans "should be allowed to vote in Africa."

At one point, when challenged on the heritage of the GOP by a female onlooker, Terry responded, "I didn't know the legacy of the Republican Party included women correcting men in public."

One of the black Republicans approached by Terry said in a statement that, despite Terry's "racially insensitive remarks ... I further explained to him the Frederick Douglass Republican message, which he embraced, bought a book, and we left as friends."

Michael Steele African American RNC Chairman was fired after picking up landslide victories in 2010. Reince Preibus gets rehired losing election after election in 2012. Thank goodness for the good ole boy affirmative action network for unqualified whites. We Democrats love Priebus the simpleton at the helm of the RNC.

This is for the many of you that don't understand or want to understand the role slavery has played in making America and race relations what they are today. So get this fact thru your thick skulls. Blacks are the only people to have their enslavement in America officially sanctioned, backed made legal enforced by state and federal government laws.

You all need to break away from your idolatry of Sarah Palin and read.

As anyone come up with a good argument why conservative negroes can't start their own party? That is what this article was about afterall not whether caucasions killing negroes is a hate crime.

[AOCGUY]

But to carry on with this side tracked thread if someone attempts suicide could that be classified as a hate crime?

Wouldn't that imply that republicans had hearts?
