Young, Black, Republican

I found this site from a NYTimes article, and it has been quite intriguing... One young black Republican decided that people like him were [obviously] in a very small minority, and so he established this website, hiphoprepublican.com so that people like him could have a space online to talk about their ethnic conservative-ness. Anyway, I'm flabbergasted essentially, which has led me to follow some of their posts for the last couple of days. I'm always amazed when immigrants or ethnic minorities decide that Republican is the way to go. What are they thinking?
