Why are the republican congressmen all white?

Answer 1

I would assume that it is because the Republican party's platform and agenda tends to appeal to Whites more so than non-Whites.

You would have to study their plate form, ideas, ideology, and political beliefs to determine why most Republicans tend to be White, and therefore the Republican congress is White.

I'm glad you ask this question because some Republicans are always asking why do most African Americans vote Democrat, but they don't exam questions like yours.

Good question. Worth some study.

Answer 2

Although there have been black congressmen. Black leaders have embraced the Democrats and tell there fellow blacks to do the same. If you are a black and join the republicans you are considered a Uncle Tom etc. Colan Powell was pounced on constantly by the black leaders and others till her turned his back on the republicans for the most part. Black people and there leaders should be proud that one of the highest ranking people in the free world is black, Condelezza Rice, but there hated of "The Party of Lincoln" won't even let them be proud of her. I can't figure them out. The democrats haven't done them any favors.

Answer 3

You do mean the Democrat Congress is not all white, your taking about the Senate was all white until Obama won his state to become the first black Senator. The Congress has a lot of black men and women in their house, but is the first for the Senate. JC Watts was black a Republican , Republican don't like black people they think their above them , all people regardless of their race was created equal, Republicans say their so religious but they sure don't show it anytime.

Answer 4

Look at the mindless rants of the liberals here - Lamplight is a perfect example - it tells you a lot.
The Republican party has been smeared and defamed within the black community for years.
The ridiculous notion that if you dare support a GOP candidate it is tantamount to treason among some black communities has caused tremendous damage to black voters.
Far too often for far too long blacks have voted color rather than policy.
It has crippled them politicly, financially and socially over the decades.
As blacks move more and more into the middle class you see they are drawn more and more toward policies that will enable and empower them.Increasingly they will look to other parties who offer platforms more beneficial to their progress.
Blacks tend to live in large cities in concentrated numbers - those are the districts that elect black congressmen.
Those areas are overwhelmingly Democrat territories...it is not hard to figure it out.
Republicans do well in rural areas etc - larger white populations.
The candidates tend to be white,,,therefor thats who gets into Congress.
Fairly simple really.

Answer 5

Well, I could tell you all kinds of things about how blacks don't support black Republicans, how blacks don't gravitate toward the Republican party... but the real answer is that the Republican party attracts a lot of white racists. The Republican party really isn't interested in increasing their black membership except for whatever token value a few blacks in the party have in terms of PR.

Answer 6

Oh, easy question. The Republicans have elevated all their
non-White followers to higher positions (Powell, Rice, Gonzales,
Julia Carson, and others (can't come up with their names right
now). So, oh fellow Democrat, you are wrong again spouting
misleading information.

Answer 7

You are either totaly clueless or a otal l***.

Blacks in Congress

Nine African-Americans are seeking seats in Congress this year -- as Republicans. They are hoping to oust Democratic incumbents from Minnesota to South Carolina.

Number of Blacks Elected to the House of Representatives: 101
Number of Blacks Elected to the Senate: 4
First Black Member of the Senate: Hiram Rhodes Revels
(R-Mississippi)
First Black Member of the House: Joseph H. Rainey
(R-South Carolina)

Answer 8

No qualified, non-white candidates ran against them in the elections.
Anyone can run for office - but you have to get most of the votes to actually serve.

Answer 9

When black conservatives do run,you lot are the first to call them "Uncle Tom annd "Aunt Jemima". So take your 2 cents and go buy yourself a brain.

Answer 10

Seemingly, all Republicans are white males.
