‘Don’t dis’ dem hos,’ says shameless, pandering Republicans
I guess Republicans will do anything for the Black vote. Republicans have unleashed a series of ads incorporating Black common denominator-type stuff such as hip-hop, hos and booty…all that.
“If you make a little mistake with one of your ‘hos,’ you’ll want to dispose of that problem tout suite, no questions asked,” says one man in the Republican funded political ad.
“That’s too cold. I don’t snuff my own seed,” the other replies.
“Maybe you do have a reason to vote Republican.”

Many blacks are definitely anti-abortion. Republicans have been playing that one for a while.
What is most offensive is that the ads insult the intelligence of Black folks. But that doesn’t mean they won’t work on some people.
The Republicans are using race as a weapon in this campaign, from Prop 2 attacking affirmative action in Michigan to Republican ads stirring up racist, anti-Detroit sentiment in the suburbs. They play dirty, but they play to win.

“Don’t dis dem hos” what are they saying. Does ” hos ” refer to the word whore.

What a “low-life” joke of a marketing and media campaign.
Afrikan people in Amerikkka should really wake up and smell the genocide and the divide and conquer schemes. The Republicans and even the Democrats believe if “you can not beat them then join them” is a joke of a response to really dealing with the serious issues in the Black/New Afrikan community.
If they think their low life (ghetto fabulous) marketing and media on-slaught is working on their behalf in our community then we are beyond any hint of common sense.

I must not have a clear understanding of this article because from my understanding this whole use of African American culture and language is totally degrading. Not to mention it is being used in politics which may create a wide spread of even more negative images against African American culture.

I think you are exactly right…hos means whores…and Republicans think that using these words and these degrading ‘concepts’ that they are reaching Black voters.
What a joke…do they really think Black folks live or think like this?
