Quote from:

MARTIN: But your candidates got to talk to them. One of the criticisms I've always had is Republicans -- white Republicans -- have been scared of black folks.

To clarify, he didn't say it, he just agreed with the above statement.

I don't know where this Martin fellow got this idea.  I'm not aware of any conservative Republicans who are afraid of blacks.  Maybe there's some liberal Republicans that are, but I don't know of any.  Something tells me Martin is believing something that just isn't true, and for no reason.

You Republicans are in a shitload of trouble with statements like that.
