There are two ways this could have gone for Romney.
He gives the speech, and is met lukewarmly, proving that Romney has some potential with independent african-americans, or He gives the speech, and those uppity black folks act like a bunch of savages and shout down the poor white man when he tells it "like it is". either way, Romney gets to spin it as a victory.

As an aside, the Mormon Church was hostile toward black people everywhere. For example, while all Mormon (white) men are considered priests, black men were barred from the priesthood (women get to be members of the ladies sewing circle and obey their priest. Since blacks could not be priests, they were barred from celestial marriages in the Temple and thus barred from salvation.
In 1978, Mormon leaders suddenly had a revelation from god telling them to allow blacks access to the priesthood and all the rites of the Mormon Church. Prejudice lingers however: Quote:
As an active Mormon, I'm sure Romney had no compunction about telling the NAACP that he would roll back the new health care law. Those folks should know their place, right? Last edited by SamIam; 07-11-2012 at 04:25 PM. |
