Some of the bravest people in America are Black Republicans. The retribution of leaving the plantation are severe in the Black community. If the Republicans can get 15-20% of the Black vote, it will be the end of the Rat party and perhaps the beginning of School Choice??

They've been held in political bondage for over 40 years. Stuck in failing schools and housing complexes so they can't survive without a democrat politician to feed them.
Finally, they're being judged by their character instead of the color of their skin. They're finally free, free, free.
The "village" has failed them - "Big time."
Welcome aboard, folks!

I hope it is true, not just because I want to win. I really am thinking about those kids. They deserve better than what the past "leaders" in the Black community have offered them.

The only hope for Blacks, especially poor blacks is the Republican party.
This is an area Republicans should address vigorously but doesn't. Let's hope enough Black conservatives come forth in the Republican party to install a backbone.

It will be a blessed day in our country when we don't address folks as black or white - but as Americans who care about our country!

I have been longing for a program on FOX News that would highlight the growing number of black republicans. I'd like a "Hannity & Colmes" style format - a black liberal and a black conservative. And Larry Elder would be perfect for the "conservative" position! He loves to do TV, too. I'd put him (he is actually a libertarian) against any liberal!

The poor kids are being used for political gain. The Democrats keep them caged so they can't escape.

Wow, you were there. Wonderful.
Sorry about the hit and run post but my phone has been ringing off the hook.
I am so happy that the black community is starting to see that the dems have held them back for decades. This can make a huge difference in the future especially as young black people see the differences between the parties.

We're the most prosperous, happiest nation in the world, but we ain't seen nothing yet. The Democrats have repressed and discouraged a huge pool of talent and ideas in our population for too long. The whole Dimwit idea has been that blacks are simply incapable, and that has NEVER been true, not when they were slaves, not during Jim Crow, not during 'affirmative action,' and not now. America needs the confident contributions of ALL our citizens!

This story is mis-reported. Everyone knows that black people stop being black as soon as they stop supporting the Democrats.
For years I have been hearing from liberals that Clarence Thomas isn't really black. Neither is Connie Rice or Colin Powell. But Bill Clinton is.
So it is obvious that there were no black people in this meeting.

Thanks for the link. Good site.

>>>>>>>>>Republicans more than doubled among black voters, from 4 percent to 10 percent. That is still a small percentage, but it does represent a 150 percent increase.
This, right here, is mathematically significant. If the GOP only added African-American support 1/2 as rapidly during the next compounding period, they would go from 10 to 14 percent. Adding support at just under a quarter of 150 percent would take them to 18% the next time.
Raymond Texaira may have been totally wrong when he wrote his opus political "The Emerging Majority."

They've been held in political bondage for over 40 years. Hear, hear! Pity and handouts are for those who truly cannot care for themselves, bless them! Not for any strong, decent people!! Time for phony "leaders" to stop urging black people to become victims; it never worked anyway. It defined deviancy down and relaxed standards of civilization.
It's hard to go against what loud-mouthed colleagues, family and friends might say, but if you have a spine, DO IT! Guess what? It won't kill you! I ought to know; we are the only conservatives in our extended Jewish family. We may be getting the same Bob Dole book of wit every Chanukah for years now, but we aren't dead! And we aren't chickens in the closet either! We are OUT! PROUD JEWISH REPUBLICANS! It feels GOOD!

The Democrats constantly belittle them. "They can't make it on their own. They need affermative action because they're not smart enough to make it on merit. They can't read a ballot - we must make it simpler for them! We need to house them, feed them, clothe them, and send them to government indoctrination centers for they don't understand economics."
