GOP to America: 'We Built It.' But Who's the We? (built "it" off the backs of slaves)

ColorLines

Today's official theme at the forlorn Tampa gathering is "We Built It." The GOP doesn't specify who the "we" are or what the "it" is exactly.

With zero percent support amongst blacks for the Republican ticket, African Americans have apparently concluded that the "we" is not them. The 44-point gap amongst Latinos and the 33-point gap amongst youth would seem to suggest that these groups believe the same.

That's because on jobs--the number one issue important to black and brown America, young people, and the country as a whole--Mitt Romney is largely silent.
