THERE ARE 14 BLACK REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES

In Tuesday’s election, there are 14 black Republican candidates running for Congress. That’s right, 14 of the Republicans running for seats in Congress are African-Americans. And each one of them is expressing strong opposition to the policies of America’s first black president.
 
Here is a partial list of the black Republican congressional candidates:
 
Charlotte Bergmann: 9th Congressional District of Tennessee

Stephen Broden: 30th Congressional District of Texas

Ryan Frazier: 7th Congressional District of Colorado

Isaac Hayes: 2nd Congressional District of Illinois

Bill Marcy: 2nd Congressional District of Mississippi

Star Parker: 37th Congressional District of California

Bill Randall: 13th Congressional District of North Carolina

Tim Scott: 1st Congressional District of South Carolina

Chuck Smith: 3rd Congressional District of Virginia

Allen West: 22nd Congressional District of Florida

USMC Maj. Charles Lollar: 5th Congressional District of Maryland

Rev. Michel J. Faulkner: 15th Congressional District of New York

(I was unable to obtain the names of the remaining two black Republican candidates.)
 
Most of the 14 are running all-but-hopeless races against black Democratic incumbents in black majority districts. But Tim Scott of South Carolina, Allen West of Florida, and Ryan Frazier of Colorado are running in predominantly white districts and are expected to win their races.
 
Black Republican candidates? Sumbich, what this country isn’t coming to!

And what about the Australians?
