Ben Carson, Colin Powell, Herman Cain are respected by Republicans. If Cruz wasn't in the race in 2016, Ben Carson likely would have had the Evangelical vote; Cruz is a seasoned politician that knows how to sway voters unlike Carson. Herman Cain had the right idea about tax reform but the mainstream media railed against him for daring to challenge the status quo. It's a shame Powell never decided to run for office. Condoleezza Rice would have been a shoo-in for president too but she'd rather be a political professor.
Let's also not forget the silent Associate Justice, Clarence Thomas. He is the most conservative (as in religious conservative) justice on the court by far.
Oh, and Kanye West is pro-Trump/Republican. Heh.
You know what all these people have in common? They fought for and attained the "American Dream."
You can't counter racist signaling because that's racist. It's a catch-22; hence, the entire topic is taboo.
