I think you are exactly right…hos means whores…and Republicans think that using these words and these degrading ‘concepts’ that they are reaching Black voters.

What a joke…do they really think Black folks live or think like this?

I must not have a clear understanding of this article because from my understanding this whole use of African American culture and language is totally degrading. Not to mention it is being used in politics which may create a wide spread of even more negative images against African American culture.

What a “low-life” joke of a marketing and media campaign.

Afrikan people in Amerikkka should really wake up and smell the genocide and the divide and conquer schemes. The Republicans and even the Democrats believe if “you can not beat them then join them” is a joke of a response to really dealing with the serious issues in the Black/New Afrikan community.

If they think their low life (ghetto fabulous) marketing and media on-slaught is working on their behalf in our community then we are beyond any hint of common sense.

Many blacks are definitely anti-abortion. Republicans have been playing that one for a while.

What is most offensive is that the ads insult the intelligence of Black folks. But that doesn’t mean they won’t work on some people.

The Republicans are using race as a weapon in this campaign, from Prop 2 attacking affirmative action in Michigan to Republican ads stirring up racist, anti-Detroit sentiment in the suburbs. They play dirty, but they play to win.
