There’s been plenty of talk about race on the campaign trail this week, but it’s all been in reference to the Democrats. On the Republican side talk of race is almost nonexistent, and the reason is good for our man Mitt. Simply put, Mitt Romney is the candidate of African Americans.
You might think that Mitt’s upper crust background, his residence in decidedly white places like Utah and Boston and his general stiff demeanor would make it hard for him to relate to the critical issues and real citizens of Black America, but you’d be wrong. Mitt is a man of the people - his natural magnetism allows him to mingle in crowds and make friends with people having backgrounds that couldn’t be much further from his own. On a recent Martin Luther King day campaign stop in Jacksonville, Florida Mitt showed his likeability to a group of African Americans by joining them for a photo op and wowing them with his knowledge of pop-rap music from 2000. He went on to meet a baby wearing a necklace and displayed his street cred by referring to it as 'Bling-Bling'. Unconfirmed reports also said he greeted several peope with “What up, dog?” and the ever-popular “Waazzzzzup?”
Mitt Romney, you go, boy!
You have it all wrong. What he said was:
"Who left the dog on the ...... Roof, roof, roof."
