In a demonstration that blacks like Condi Rice, Michael Steele, Ron Christie, Artur Davis, Allen West, and Tim Scott are less tokens than statistically insignificant, a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll showed zero percent support for the Romney/Ryan ticket among African-Americans. That said, the GOP ticket probably isn’t too pleased with headlines about two conventioneers getting ejected for throwing nuts at a black CNN camerawomen and saying, “This is how we feed the animals.”
There are bad apples in every crowd, but it’s hard to imagine the level of hate those two people must feel toward black people to behave that way. The RNC Convention released an official apology, but that won’t change the bad optics.
