The Plight Of Black Republicans
Only a tiny bit better than that of gay Republicans (hey, at least they aren't trying to divorce you). And some dealt with the last election with a modicum of self-respect:
Don Scoggins, 63, has been a Republican for nearly 40 years. Yet on
Nov. 4, he voted for a Democratic presidential candidate for the first
time. Scoggins is president of the 1,000-member Republicans for Black
Empowerment, a Washington-based group that primarily aims to mobilize
black conservatives. For months, he struggled over whether to support
John McCain. The selection of Alaska governor Sarah Palin as McCain's
vice-presidential running mate "was the nail in the coffin. She didn't
exude any intellectual acuity," he says.
