  • I’ve been to some Romney events. They’re pretty damn white.

    areasofmyexpertise:

    I was skeptical when I read about this on KOS, but when I watched this new video from Romney, I was pretty astonished. 

    I think (THINK) that we see one African American police officer or firefighter’s head from behind at one point. And the little girl on the tire swing is… brunette, I guess? 

    But I honestly could not find one non-white person in this video. That’s a surprising choice, and a very creepy end result.
