Republican Official Admits that They Are Seeking to Keep Black People from Voting
Former Republican Party Chairman for the state of Florida, Jim Greer, spoke openly about the efforts of the GOP to keep African Americans away from the ballot box. The testimony was given in a recent deposition that Greer gave, where he spoke about his battles with members of his own party.
Greer says that GOP leaders in Florida put mechanisms in place to keep black people from being able to register and vote in local, state and national elections. Greer refers to members of his own party as “whack-a-dos,” due to their obsession with taking out their enemies and attacking President Barack Obama.
“I was upset because the political consultants and staff were talking about voter suppression and keeping blacks from voting. It had been one of those days,” he said.
Greer also discussed the anger that many members of the Republican Party had toward Florida Governor Charlie Crist after he hugged President Barack Obama. Crist also took heat for appointing a liberal black woman to the state Supreme Court.
Greer is spilling the beans mainly because he is facing prison time for corruption. He is being accused of money laundering, and grand theft. Authorities say that he ran a shell company that funneled money to him out of the Republican Party.
The state of Florida is in the middle of a great deal of political controversy these days. Just this week, Florida Lieutenant Governor Jennifer Carroll had to apologize to gay/lesbian groups after saying that “Lesbians don’t look like me” after she was accused of having “relations” with a female staffer.

People are intitled to their own opinion, however being Racis is not the answer, instead of trying to suppress Afician Americans, the larger picture needs to be looked at. (The End Times are here)! Remember there’s a higher power, and the evil one does will be Reaped! To many prayers are going up for African Americans and trust me God is listening! try to stop African Americans from having rights, it won’t work! Watch out your soul is at AT STAKE!!!!
Regardless of why this guy is spilling the beans on the GOP,it is no secret that there is an conspiracy to disenfranchise black people of their right to vote.Tell us something we don’t know.What needs to be done is to educate black folks how to fight for our rights and to keep fighting and not let these conspirators get away with murder.
Uhmmm . . . , isn’t that against the law?
hello, apparently people don’t remember that it was the large majority of whites that voted for President Obama that made it a landslide victory on 2008, and yes lots of us blacks voted for him as well, but what i could not understand is why whites got so mad when he won in 2008, a majority of them were responsible for him winning the election, so now they are trying to find any way they can to ensure the blacks have as much difficulty as possible voting for President Obama, what do they plan on doing about all of the whites who are going to vote again and for the first time for him?????????????
it’s called reality
In the 2008 Presidential election, President Obama stunned many by taking an impressive 43% of total white votes. McCain received 55%.
66% of Hispanic voters turned out for Obama – the best ever result for a Democrat. McCain received only 31% of the Hispanic vote.
Here is the icing on the cake, 95% of black voters went to the ballot for Obama and only 4% for McCain.
To Roy Williams: Yes, it was the younger White voters that put President Obama over the taop. These are Whites who know no prejudice like their other ancestors do. These are generations of young Whites who marry the Blacks, who have gone and are going to school with Blacks, who see no differences in Blacks and Whites. Now these racist comments that you hear today since the President has been office are coming from the older threatened generations of White men who parents owned plantation and slaves and used to call you BOY. Now that a Black man has accomplished what they thought only a White Man could do they feel threatened that they are loosing their White authority. I Peter 5:8 in the Bible tells us that our adversary the Devil, walks this earth like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. In the book of John 10:10 says that the devil came to steal, kill, and destroy but God came to give us life and more abundantly. Romans 12:19 God said Venges is his that he will make your enemy your footstool. So they better be careful of their racist ways of talking and living.
Sorry, that comment was in response to Troy Williams not Roy williams. Please excuse some of my mispelled words. Yes it was the younger generation of Whites, the Hispanices, and the Blacks who put the President in the White House and this election the older Whites, mostly men and a few White women are seeking to stop him from getting a second term. A lot of States are changing their voting rights rules, you need a picture state issued ID, a college ID, a military ID, or a passport ID in order to vote, So we need to get out there and get our proper ID’s so that we can cast our vote in November. Please encourage your other friends, family and coworkers to get registered and get their proper ID’s before they go to the polls in November
@every1 on this site…Do any of you need any more incentive to get your / our a***s out there and do what we have to do so as not to be disenfranchised in a right for every one it seems except…BLACK PEOPLE…I am not saying this, the Republicans have put the push to the tire and it’s going down hill, they are doing it… just pay attention to what is happenning around the Country in regards to our people / minority voters being denied the “RIGHT” to vote. The fix is in unless we all wake up to what is going down and we have our eyes “WIDE SHUT”… to the reality of the situation.
WOW!! my grandmother said this would happen, its scary because she is 99 percent of the time right…Why no republicans have not been arrested for trying to stop blacks from voting? it is a crime, or is it only blacks get arrested and convicted now adays? People pray Obama win again, or our country will be headed towards World War 3 and worst with crooked lying a*s Romney please believe
If Romney win black people and latinos are in big BIG BIG trouble, at least the unemployment rate for minorities is getting better, maybe not as fast as people want it to be, but it has improved. Obama cant undo what crooked Bush did in one term, maybe not even in 2 terms, but he sure is trying and doing a good job. It dont matter who would be in office, Bush messed up our economy and congress not President Obama. Hard for a president to do anything if you have a racist congress who will not work with you. People remember, congress creates jobs, not the President
The GOP is driven by hatred, hatred for Blacks/Latinos/Hispanics, hatred for organized labor, hatred for working/middle class Americans. Their message is very clear. If they have their way, America will become a country split into two (2) classes, the “Haves” and the “Have-Nots.”
So, Bernie is correct, we have to ensure we have the appropriate credentials to vote and we have to ensure we get out and vote. Slack off on either and they win.
Please make this your top priority! Vote, Vote Vote!
It’s not going to work.. If God is for us who can be against us.
Obama is still going to win just watch and see..
I am not surprise as to what the GOP is doing. We as a people need to get out and vote for Obama by all mean and if not this country all h**l will break loose.
