I'm Black and I'm A Republican

I was going respond to his assessment of how Black Republicans can get a little more respect by giving a little more respect, but MIB really boiled it down in his comment.

It's a free country.

However, I don't feel your position, like those of many self-identified Black Republicans, is any more substantive or plausible. You're just not as much of an a**hole about things.

Here's my view on this party thing. To be a member, you have to honor the principles of the party as truths. That's the true ones, the dramatizations and the lies. I don't keep the lies because I can't afford to, and prefer not to expend unnecessary energy on dramatizations. That means I'm not really a Democrat, identity-wise. And it's why I don't think Darkstar is a Republican any more than I'm a Democrat. After all, you don't have to be a Republican to be incorrect...
