Mark Green's Rainbow Coalition celebrates the 4th of July.
Not fair? Well, there are 58 Independence Day photos on the Green website, and nothing but white faces in any of them. Does it matter, Greenies ask? It certainly makes a statement.

Why are you so concerned about people's race?
It's sooo 1950s to look at someone at think "white person" or "black person."
How racist of you.
It speaks volumes about Green's support and who he represents.
Racism is pretending people of color don't exist, and taking positions that reflect that view.
Uh-oh...he'd better learn how to play the saxaphone, tout de suite!
Only a race hustler would have scoured those photos.
True racism is using people of other races as props.
If you would take the blinders off you would have noticed the link to his position on cap/vouchers.
I was going to just post the photo, above, that came in the email Greensheet this week, as I usually do. But there was a link to 57 more, so I decided to make sure the Greensheet photo wasn't the exception to the rule. It turned out it WAS the rule.
If you, or Mark Green, thinks that school vouchers are the most important issue to minority voters, I suggest you spend a little more time in the city.
And if you think campaign photos are the most important issue to minority voters, I suggest you spend a little more time in the city.
Troy, how much time do you spend in the inner city?
Well, it looks like the Green Team got as close to real, live minorities as 'Stallis before turning back toward Hubertus or some other village. Maybe by November they'll make it inside Milwaukee proper and actually be photographed with a live minority. Doesn't anyone on the Green Team have a black co-worker they can photoshop in?
Jenna and assorted trolls: I think black people might be curious why there are no black people associating with Mark Green, as much as you insist they don't see colors...
By the way, Xoff--are you ignoring the African American woman in the picture you've posted, or does she not count for some reason?
Pretty pathetic that your lack of honesty comes through so loud and clear...on your own post.
Is this the same Jenna who just examined the photo with a magnifying glass to try to detect a minority?

Is this the same Xoff who said this:
"...nothing but white faces..."
Just like your buddy Jim: the truth doesn't matter.
One black face doesn't change a thing.
According to you, it makes a statement.
That's true. And having one black face in 58 photos makes the same statement as having none.
So does saying "nothing but white faces" to describe a picture that is not.
Can you at least, at the very least, be truthful?
Xoff,
Most of these pictures were taken in rural Wisconsin areas. Gillett, Kewaunee, Antigo, Tomahawk, etc. I count roughly 30 people in that picture, 1 of which is black. That means 3% of the people in the picture are black, which is probably a higher % of black-to-white ratio than you will find in the total population of these cities. Honestly, how many minorities do you expect to find in pictures from these areas? If the picture was taken in Milwaukee, you might have a point. Seems like a low-blow shot at Green to me!
Jenna, get a life.
Do you think I would knowingly post a photo for everyone to see and then lie about it?
If in fact that is a black person in the photo I did not see her.
My point is the same. Green has been sending these photos out for months, and if this is actually a sighting of a black person it is the first.
So that's the Green rainbow coalition.
I think I will move on to other topics.
I have the best photo opts to show Jim Doyle's and Wisconsin Democrat's policy for diversity. Have two muscluar built lesbians kissing as they hand out cigarettes to Milwaukee inner city folk while they then trash the Milwaukee Mark Green campaign office. Then have a bunch of pot smoking UW Madison students stealing Mark Green yard signs. And best of all, show Jim Doyle handing out voter registration cards to illegal Mexicans.
GWC ... aryan white supremacy groups are all conservative in nature. Do you really want to go there?
You're just another troll, of no consequence.
All of these worked up people over a photograph. Don't oyu all know that the election will be decided on the number of Doyle's people indicted?
I make the over-under at 5.
Takers?
Other side: My work day is spent in Milwaukee, rest of my time is spent in Waukesha...um, at least that's what my boss thinks. The point of my post is that taking a photo of campaign volunteers has nothing to do with minority issues.
While we're at it, why don't we talk about the fact that the Doyle administration doesn't see fit to give any government contracts to minority-owned businesses?
Is it that minority business owners haven't contributed enough campaign bucks to get a sit-down with the Governor and Mark Marotta?
You would have to ask them. I'm not privy to their decisions.
What part of Milwaukee? I worked downtown in the Wells Fargo building. Not, I would admit, the most diversified area of the city.
However, since this is Xoff's blog, he has a right to make a point anyway he wants, and to deny you. But he chooses to let you comment nonetheless. Just as I would welcome you at my blog.
You should at least try blogging rather than trolling (not being snarky, just truthful). We would like the opportunity to make comments there.
"Jenna, get a life."
This coming from a man who searched through 50-some Green photos looking for non-white people.
I'll be sure to let you know when I get a blog up and running...my son's baseball season ends in two weeks, so I should have some free time after that.
And I work in the Verizon Wireless building in the Walker's Point area; not the most diversified part either, but much more so than the Town of Waukesha.
