How diverse was that crowd at the RNC ?

Question

Was it just me but was that arena full of white people. I think I saw six blacks, three Hispanics, and two Asians. Than again my eyes are getting bad

Answer 1

Everyone knows that 98% of blacks, who deny they're racists, are voting for Obama.  I saw other ethnic groups in the audience.

Palin's husband is part Eskimo and McCain has an Indian daughter.

Answer 2

Are you suggesting that the republicans should pay closer attention to race when inviting people to the convention?

If you are truly not a racist person, then race wouldn't matter to you.  

Answer 3

Not very diverse.  I was watching "It's your call", and they were going around Philly, now you want to talk about diversity, I saw almost no white people, and all of them were supporting McCain.

Answer 4

Anamatronics like the rats in Chuck E Cheese....

Answer 5

What are you blind or just racist?

It was plenty diverse and the latino vote will put the McCain/Palin ticket over the top in November.

Answer 6

You could clone one old, rich, Christian white guy a few thousand times and you would have the delegates at the RNC.

Answer 7

Another dumb meaningless question

Answer 8

68% male and 93% white from the last count of RNC delegates.  The Xcel Energy center was like a mausoleum compared to the electric excitement  and celebration of diversity in Denver.

Answer 9

WHO WAS COUNTING? DID YOU COUNT AT THE DNC? DID YOU HAVE YOUR LITTLE OBAMA BUREAUCRATIC CLICKER IN YOUR HAND?  

Answer 10

LOL. My neighborhood is VERY diverse with people from over 50 countries so if I was at the RNC I would feel uncomfortable. I have more blacks, Hispanics and Asians in my apartment complex than at this RNC. And that's not a joke...that's the truth.

Answer 11

The only hispanics I saw were the ones holding the signs saying "Hispanics love McCain!" They were hired.

Answer 12

I did notice there were a lot of older people there. It makes me wonder if republicans are what democrats grow up to be when they mature.

Answer 13

Only a racist would could the number of minority attendees.  

Answer 14

I saw them. Heck, my husband, a Puerto Rican from the island, and his family are all voting Republican. I think your eyes are getting bad.

Answer 15

You see what you want to see. I was listening to the speeches and not counting whites and blacks in the crowd.  

Answer 16

Wasn't meant to be diverse. It was a Republican Convention.

Answer 17

very diverse..people from north pole, southeast, southwest, north,....Oh you mean by race. well that is an elephant of a different color..ahh same color

Answer 18

Yea most are hill-billies or rich white people.

Answer 19

The convention was " lily white " , the only blacks I saw were janitorial  

Answer 20

So what are you getting at?  So what.  It's not like Mcain can hand out cigs for people to come to the RNC...that would just be wrong.  But seriously I thought Republicans were the racial dividers, I guess I was wrong.

Answer 21

Yes, it was mainly white people.  You got something against white people??  Let's hear it.

Answer 22

Even Republicans admit that the delegates are almost all white.  One black guy said "It is what it is."  They're trying to get more people of color, but if they're smart they won't buy into it.

I paid attention because of comments on here of how white the RNC was, so I thought I'd see for myself.  Saw a few Asians, a few Hispanics, and maybe 10 black people.  Wow!  

Answer 23

it was very diverse , there was left handed people , right handed people , white people , off white people ,  people who were worth 10 million dollars and  poor people they were worth only 2 million dollars , men and women ...plus why do you think they are called the republiKLAN party

Answer 24

I saw a fine diversity. I guess you just saw what you wanted to see.

Did you really watch? Because, if you did, you would have heard Cindy McCain talk about her daughters. Do the research yourself. I'm not going to ruin the surprise.

.

Answer 25

only 6 blacks? 3 latinos? with over 50 million blacks and mexicans? this shows you that republicans only cater to the rich!!

Answer 26

Its ironic that the msm reporting on the whiteness of the RNC crowd was completely white themselves.

Answer 27

I don't know what point you're trying to make....seems like you still see color unfortunately instead of seeing people... If people of other ethnicities weren't there because McCain is white then it's too bad for them, just like the fact that there are people who would not vote for Obama merely because he is black.

McCain/Palin '08

Answer 28

Only 3% of the Republican base is black, so I'm surprised you even saw 6.

Answer 29

The Republicans call themselves the party of the big tent, they are open those who pro life, pro gun, anti g*y, anti environment, pro war, tax cuts for the rich.  When comes to a circus it one ring show.

Answer 30

they have diversity where it counts, in the top political positions of government.  more than the democrats have ever had.

Answer 31

WOW, are you dems hot and heavy today????? anyone can go to the convention,diversity has nothing to do with it, There is a large group of Black republican women, they even have a magazine, maybe they were in the back somewhere, at these conventions they usually keep the camera pretty much on the candidates and the surrounding areas!!! good grief pull yourself together!!!
