OF THE TALLAHASSEE
BLACK REPUBLICANS. NOW, I'M PISSED!
all: MM-HMM. - ROYALLY PISSED!
all: MM-HMM. - LAST NOVEMBER, BARACK OBAMA
WAS RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT, AND THE BLACK VOTE
WENT ALMOST ENTIRELY TO HIM! [crowd murmuring]
- DAGNABBIT. - WE'RE NOT GETTING
OUR MESSAGE OUT, OBVIOUSLY. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
IS AND SHOULD BE THE ONLY HOME FOR BLACK VOTES.
- YES, SIR. - NOW, PEOPLE THINK THAT
BLACK VOTERS ARE A MONOLITH. [scoffs]
WE'RE NOT A MONOLITH. - WHAT? WHAT?
- NO, WE'RE NOT. - IN FACT,
BLACK REPUBLICANS ALONE ARE AN EXTREMELY DIVERSE
GROUP OF PEOPLE. [crowd murmuring agreement] NOW, TO SPEAK MORE
ON DIVERSITY, I PRESENT TONIGHT'S SPEAKER, MR. DOUGLAS JACKSON. [applause] [applause ends abruptly] - NOW, I'M NOT GONNA
SUGARCOAT IT, I'M PISSED! [crowd murmuring agreement] I'M ROYALLY PISSED. THE LIBERAL MEDIA
THINKS THAT REPUBLICANISM IS NOT FOR BLACK PEOPLE.
all: MM. - NOW, YOU TELL ME, WHAT
ABOUT FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY, A STRONG NATIONAL DEFENSE,
AND A LIMITED GOVERNMENT IS UNAPPEALING
TO BLACK PEOPLE? WE'RE NOT A MONOLITH!
all: MM-MMM. - WE COME IN ALL DIFFERENT
SHAPES AND SIZES. - WE DO.
all: MM-HMM! - NOW, WHO HERE WOULD LIKE
TO COME UP TO THIS PODIUM AND SPEAK ABOUT THE DIVERSITY
AMONGST BLACK REPUBLICANS? - [clears throat] - OH.
[chuckles] GENTLEMEN,
WE HAVE A REAL TREAT TODAY, A GENTLEMAN
WHO IS A LITTLE BIT ECCENTRIC, A LITTLE BIT OUTSIDE OF THE BOX,
IF YOU WILL, BUT I CAN'T THINK
OF A BETTER PERSON TO SPEAK ON DIVERSITY
AMONGST BLACK REPUBLICANS THAN THIS GENTLEMAN
RIGHT HERE. ALL THE WAY FROM ORLANDO,
MY GOOD FRIEND, ARTHUR WASHINGTON! [applause] IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU, MAN. [applause] [applause ends abruptly] - THANK YOU
FOR THE INTRODUCTION, BROTHER DOUGLAS. - THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE,
BROTHER ARTHUR. - MM-HMM. HOWEVER, I AM...
PISSED. [crowd murmuring agreement] ROYALLY PISSED. - INDEED, INDEED!
- ALL RIGHT. - DEMOCRATS THINK
THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO ALL THE BLACK PEOPLE. BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE. WE ARE NOT A MONOLITH.
[crowd murmuring agreement] DEMOCRATS MAY BE COOL,
BUT THEY AIN'T PRACTICAL. - THERE YOU GO.
[crowd murmuring agreement] - REPUBLICANS
ARE PRACTICAL. BLACK PEOPLE
ARE PRACTICAL! COME TO THINK OF IT...
- GET THOSE PANTS. - I THINK BLACK REPUBLICANS
ARE PRETTY COOL. [crowd murmuring agreement]
- HEAR, HEAR, HEAR, HEAR. - NOT TO MENTION
VERY DIVERSE. - THERE WE GO. MM-HMM.
[door opens] - EXCUSE ME, GENTLEMEN.
SORRY TO INTERRUPT. SOMEONE'S WHITE WIFE
IS HERE TO PICK THEM UP. [all murmuring] - WAS HER NAME EMILY? - UH, SHE WAS WHITE.
- OH, GREAT, THAT'S--
