In About 1 Minute, Black GOP Candidate Makes It Nearly Impossible for His Opponents to Put Him ‘In a Box’

A Republican candidate running for state House in Alabama has released an innovative new ad to tell voters a little about himself while also “challenging stereotypes.” As a black Republican, Darius Foster wants people to know he is not “monolithic” and “can’t be put in a box.”

The short 1-minute video shows people of all different colors and genders stating facts about Foster — but in his voice.

“In a nutshell, I am not monolithic. I am many things. I can’t be put in a box,” Foster says in the ad. “Did you know that while growing up, we went half the winter without heat? Or that I think best while listening to Frank Sinatra?”

He continues: “The last concert I attended was Lil’ Wayne. Yes, Lil Wayne. My favorite NBA player is Dirk Nowitzki. Go Mavs. I take it personally when people mistake poor for lazy. And unfortunately, no, I cannot swim.”

Foster then notes that his “favorite book of the Bible is Ecclesiastes” because it’s the “only book I’ve read where God gave a man everything, he lost it and lived to tell about it.”

The only problem I have with this is . . . He's running for the Alabama House, not the U.S. House from Alabama.  This guy needs to be supported at a national level.  By that, I mean that he needs to run for a U.S. House seat--soon!  (U.S. Senate would be fine as well.)

Let him get a tast, a little seasoning if you will. In a couple years he will be ready. And won't be shocked by what he finds.

Yes, I saw that this morning along with the interview.  He came across as very likeable, and had a great story.
