Mitt Romney know more bout the Civil Rights Era than y'all do.Its in his blood.He grew up around it

, March 13, 2012—In 1963, George Romney gave the keynote address at the conference that sparked the Martin Luther King "Freedom Marches" in Detroit. The first King event was the Metropolitan Conference on Open Occupancy, held in Detroit in January, 1963. The second was the Martin Luther King Freedom March, in June of the same year. According to Joe Darden, "the spin offs of [that march] were several Detroit NAACP-sponsored interracial marches into the Detroit suburbs." Governor Mitt Romney's father, George Romney, marched with Martin Luther King, Jr., showing clearly that he stood solidly in favor of Civil Rights.

Mitt Romney may be the candidate with the best bag of apples for the black urban communities. He has learned from the daring actions of his father, who put his family at risk by his participation in the civil rights movement, that a powerful vision lets you take bold moves against the wrongs of America. It can expose deception and create new standards of what is right for all people. That is what his father did by going against the injustices that were standard in America before 1963, opposing even some common Mormon beliefs for the betterment of his fellow men. He did not think of himself, but of deeper principles, some of them deeply nourished by his religion. His father marched with Dr. King, and Mitt Romney has been brought up to appreciate Black and Hispanic culture all of his life. Romney is the most successful businessman of the current presidential candidate crop left in the race. He is a role model to Black Americans and urban people of all cultures when it comes to hard work and business effort. Being the $200 million man is not a bad thing; it looks very good on the resume of a man seeking the job of President of the United States of America.

Romney could open their eyes to the fact that social programs are failing while the cities go broke. Urban social programs are a drain on local governments, and they don't encourage the creation of new jobs and wealth. They put off the day when these communities can support businesses that will let urban Black people support themselves.

“The assassination of Martin Luther King is a great national tragedy. At a time when we need aggressive nonviolent leadership to peacefully achieve equal rights, equal opportunities and equal responsibilities for all, his leadership will be grievously missed.”- Governor George Romney, April 5, 1968

The white southerners were overwhelming democrats in the '60s. Thus, the republicans came out looking like the pro-civil rights party.

The demographic make-up of the two parties is very different today. So there is no need to rush to give the modern Republican party extra kudos, because they are now home to the conservative white southerner.
