And they can't hear alternative voics if those voices are petrified of even just showing up. Although it's not very likely this debate will put Tancredo over the top, it certainly earns him some cred in the intestinal fortitude department.

I imagine that he walked away thinking that it wasn't nearly as hostile as he thought. African Americans are just as thoughtful and engaging and open to listening to others are anybody. If GOP candidates walk into a church, they are not booed. They are listened to and respected like everyone else IMHO.

He just talked about immigration. The problem with the NAACP is that they are professional racists. They do nothing for the advancement of colored people in our society. They stick their heads in the sand with regard to issues like teenage pregnancy, drug abuse, aids, high crime rates, unmarried pregnancy rates, etc. This is what you are challenging these people to show up and challenge the NAACP leaders about...... and it wasn't done. He just touched on immigration. So, what did he accomplish by 'showing up" ?????

It wasn’t “taken more offensively then not showing up in the first place” – he got a standing ovation.
