Actress Stacey dash getting -- on social media for making this endorsement she said she wrote.
Vote Romney the only choice for your future.
Well that treat launched a firestorm of attacks from the left.
So what's -- because Hollywood celebrities are most likely to be -- -- does the color for skin had something to do with this backlash sheared away and here.
Chick dotcom Kristol right hi crystal.
Hey how -- -- and so I'm actress Stacey dash we just showed there so that she has received a lot of hate mail.
Since she took to Twitter to voice her support for Mitt Romney does that surprise you.
No sadly it doesn't surprise me ever since I started my block and got more vocal.
As a black Republican I've been slammed with words that I could never peed on the air I've been called an Oreo and sellout everything under the sun so.
I sympathize with Stacey dash there's a real war going on that the left is waging on black conservatives.
They want to silence us and I'm really proud to Stacey dash came out.
And you know what she said she is supporting Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan because the country is broken Stacy said that she was very convinced -- what win.
Governor Romney and his wife and went on Meet the Press she said that she sold him that he has the best plan to lead America out of this Malays.
So I'm proud of her and I hope that he puts her in an ad frankly like governor McDonnell did -- Sheila Johnson.
Endorsed him in twenty tent and that really helped his campaign it's interesting to hear that you had the same reaction that people went after -- in that they called -- things like Oreo she too says her blackness.
Is being questioned why is that.
But you know it's funny -- I wrote about this bird and create DC which is the Washington Post blog.
And if the problem is that I think Democrats have co opted our history if you will.
The narrative about which party really -- most for blacks and that's Republican Party.
It was the Republican Party that freed the slaves -- -- the Republican Party to pass the thirteenth fourteenth and fifteenth amendments.
But somehow down the road and by the way supported the Civil Rights Act really got you know secured passage for it.
But Democrats have co opted that narrative and we got to seize control -- that so when black Republicans come out and say okay.
Yeah I'm exercising my First Amendment right we get slammed we get put back -- when I called the black box and you know what.
I never read the black memo that said that I have to be it Democrat and and it's -- -- I want.
Yeah I don't get that point across all right thanks so much for coming in and sharing your experience -- -- this issue or fox difference.
