Can we discuss issues that define differences between the parties?

A great example of this is the fact that when Condy Rice, Alan West and several other black conservatives spoke at the RNC convention, MSNBC conveniently reported on the hurricane or whatever other convenient issues that they could talk about. They tried to make it look as if there was not a black face in the entire hall.

The Democrats want SO much for people to believe that conservatives are AUTOMATICALLY racists. NOTHING could be further from the truth. I am a conservative, not necessarily a Republican and I even came very close to marrying someone of a COMPLETELY different race. I don't believe that I have a racist bone in my body. I don't think you could find anyone who knows me personally that would not completely agree, regardless of THEIR color.

The democrats, as a general rule, actually show LOTS of prejudice toward conservatives in this regard. But, of course, they're democrats so it's absolutely okay.

Actually when it comes right down to it, ANY judgment of someone based solely on their skin pigmentation is STUPID. I personally base my like/dislike or agree/disagree on what is in a persons mind and heart and in their actions. Pigmentation has nothing to do with it.

'can discriminate for one thing and not another'... You mean like a guy who doesn't care if the black valet parks his car, but would never allow him to ride in it?

Racism is not an exact synonym with racial discrimination. The alumni who invited over only the white graduates is practicing racial discrimination.
