If the GOP wants to win more black votes, it will need to get a lot more “racist.”
The scare quotes are necessary because I don’t think the Republican
party is racist now (and, historically, the GOP has a lot less to answer

people from slandering Republicans as racist for one reason or another.
Right now, many in Washington — particularly the leadership of the
Congressional Black Caucus — insist that Republican attacks on U.N.
ambassador Susan Rice are racist and, yawn, sexist. The basis for this
claim is that some Republicans are calling Rice unfit for the
soon-to-be-vacated job of secretary of state. More specifically, they’re
cross with Rice for what they contend to be her dishonest and
incompetent handling of the Benghazi scandal.And, because Rice is a black woman, well, bla, bla, bla. Racism! Sexism!
