White Power Convention: Donald Trump’s GOP Convention To Feature Very Few Minority Speakers

[Cali_Democrat]

Donald Trump’s inability to attract minority voters will be on full display at the Republican convention next week, when the vast majority of the speakers who take the stage will be white.

Republicans released a list of 62 convention speakers Thursday, and The New York Times named three others not on that list. According to a count by The Huffington Post, approximately 66 percent of them are men and 82 percent are white.

The gender breakdown isn’t that far off from the 2012 Republican convention ― 63 percent male ― or the Democratic convention that same year ― 62 percent male. But it is worse on including speakers of color.

In 2012, GOP convention speakers were 78 percent white. Democrats’ 2012 speakers were 62 percent white. Democrats have not yet released a list of speakers for their 2016 gathering, which will take place in Philadelphia the week after Republicans meet.

1. Making America White Again.

I hope people take notice and remember this when they go to vote.

2. For sure Ben Carson gets a wild reception. Count on the

crowd "getting the memo" way beforehand.
