A recent event held by the National Federation of Republican Women. in South Carolina last weekend seems to tell the story of how South Carolina Republican leadership is willing to have the South depicted.
The event was titled “The Southern Experience”. Costumes from the Civil war era were a highlight of the evening. An African-American man and woman dressed as slaves were also part of the festivities. In 2010, the Republican Party of South Carolina has Blacks dressed as slaves as part of the entertainment.
The invited speakers included Michael Steele, Gov Mark Sanford and Nikki Haley. Gov. mark Sanford was there and presented the group with a "Certificate of Appreciation". South Carolina state Senate President, Glenn McConnell was an eager participant in full Civil war drag having his photo taken with the two “slaves”.
The GOP frequently goes out of the way to offend minorities to gain favor with the fringes of the White voting public. The GOP makes it a very easy decision for African-American voters to reject the Republican Party outright.

This crap has to be spotlighted and national Republican leadership has to condemn the message sent by this spectacle.
