If I'm reading kentay's chart correctly, Gallup estimated the GOP to be 11% non-white.  I wonder why he makes so much stuff up!

This is back in 2009 which after the 2010 election it more likely less people of color today, with all the Tea baggers being added to your most white party. How many total years has your party had this kind of statistics of its rank and file Republicans, maybe more than 40. I have seen no major outreach by your party and if you don't reach out soon your party will go the way of other minority parties, into the dust bin of history.    kentay

Republican 2009                         
89 % white
5 % Hispanic
2 % Black
4  % other races

Democratic 2009
64  % white
11 % Hispanic
19 % Black
6  % other races

I just don't believe that those stats are true and correct.  I could be wrong, but I just don't think they are.

Even if they are correct (Again, not saying they are) that does NOT prove that the Republicans are Racist.  I just do not understand why, after 40 years, we are still having this issue.  With all the problems this country has, do we really need to pour more salt into an open wound
