Wallace Jefferson on what race has to do with politics, why he's a member of the GOP, and whether the party has been sufficiently hospitable to African Americans. An excerpt from my interview with the Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court, conducted last Friday, December 4, for the Center for Politics and Governance at the LBJ School of Public Affairs.

a good friend once told me, it is a lot easier to be noticed and rise as a Black Republican. Hey, I once supported my LGBT friends in Log Cabin Republicans too

The more straight forward question for you to ask would have been. " since i am a white liberal democrat , why in the world would you be a black republican." I thought the tt was going to be an unbaised reporting of the issues.
