I dont trust Black republicans...?!


What the hell was that comment? I cracked the hell up!!!

Funniest line of the movie.

I thought it was hilarious, but mainly because I have dated a black republican and exactly what you saw in the movie was the exact way he was! lol.

Indeed, I found the comments and content hilarious. Then, I wondered if some black Republicans really treat their women like that. "You will obey me!" I don't know of any in politics today.

She don't trust black Republicans to do what? (Like say Ben Carson?) It's black Democrats doing all the damage starting at the top with the Golfer-in-Chief. At least black Republicans have wives while black Democrats tend to have baby mommies. (As in, Who's your daddy?)

Thank goodness someone feels the same way I do! Thank you, pjcorten! Most blacks don't realize it, but they're back in bondage - they are slaves to the Democratic party and are still saying "Yes, massah!" to Obummer.

LOL - I don't either.

I cracked up when she said that. And a big part of what makes it funny is how true it is. The few times I've met black republicans I did a double take, took a step back and gave them a long look. In all cases, they were some shady folks that I truly didn't trust. Not that they were bad people but they sure didn't align with any of my key priorities. And they all wore bow ties and disrespected women.

This movie was terrific until Paula Patton said this line. Why are we (black Republicans) "shady?" Because we have or own minds? Because we don't need to feel entitled to take money from the government which is really from hard-working Americans? Black Democrats are such hypocrites. Some of the wealthiest people in the world are black Democrats (uh.. Oprah Winfrey) and are making $15 million per movie or per year by being actors and athletes, yet you criticize Republicans for being "rich." Some of the wealthiest people in Congress are Democrats (John Kerry, for ex) yet you criticize Republicans for being "rich." You are enslaved to the Democratic party. You say whitey can't make you do anything, but you bow down to the Democrats and their ideals and the black rich actors and sports figures are your idols, and you are enslaved to their mentality. You let them convince you that the rich white man is the devil. Puh-leassssee! Grow up and make something of yourselves with your OWN brain.

What's great is that you have subconsciously validated and confirmed my thoughts about black Republicans without even knowing it. I don't give a rats ass about money. I don't care how much you have or how little you earn, black or white. But clearly you're obsessed about it. My issues with black Republicans are almost exclusively regarding policy (fiscal, environmental, infrastructure, etc.) and social issues. Oh, and as I said you wear bow ties and disrespect women.

Spenny, a couple of points:

1. Hypocrites exist everywhere. Black, White, Democrat, Republican, male female... people are hypocrites. In fact, I find that the most hypocritical people are those who take issue with an overgeneralization and support their position with their own overgeneralization.

2. From your post, it seems you embody many of the qualities people find untrustworthy about black republicans. Let me preface by stating that I am a registered Republican because Reagan's economic plan made my parents wealthy and many of my political ideologies align most closely with those of the GOP. However, as a black woman, it would be irresponsible to ignore the fact that life is far more complex for some than others. I thank God for my head start so, knowing that I am privileged, how can I consciously while look down upon those who are less fortunate than I? The problem with many black republicans is that they tend to mock and belittle who are struggling to attain their level of success (I have had countless debates with my fellow Republicans over the years about sociological issues). That is one of the main reasons people consider us "shady."

Given the views of some modern white Republicans, I tend not to trust black republicans.

Its that man again!!

@Galaxy012 I don't trust black Republicans. But then, I don't trust white Republicans either.
