Gov. Romney, this week, spoke before one of the most hostile groups to him, in the Nation. The NAACP convention. He did not, condescend to them as Hillary did with he fake MLK accent; "Ah, ain't in no way tahred", or as Obama does when speaking before a Black audience, slip into his Selma twang, No, Romney, was himself. he spoke as he does anywhere, and delivered his message of fiscal responsibility, as well as personal responsibility even in the face of a few boos. he did so to a packed house, unlike VP Biden, and also unlike Biden he received a standing ovation at the end.
Then came the media spin from the left. The democrat assertions that referring to his inner circle as a "kitchen cabinet" was racist code language, ""You cannot possibly talk about jobs for black people at the level he's coming from. He's talking about entrepreneurship, savings accounts — black people can barely find a way to get back and forth from work.""
Notice that the racist condescension is mostly to be found on the left, with the plantation mentality that the Blacks could not possibly succeed on their own merit, without uncle Sam's help. Romney's message was one of leveling the playing field to allow more personal achievement. A message reminiscent of Martin Luther King.
