Why write all black voters off? That's a really STOOPID strategy. So what if they haven't voted for Republicans in large numbers in the past? Maybe no one has brought the Republican message to them, directly. A large number of black people are conservative in their outlooks. Why not appeal to them with our conservative message?

We don't have to change anything about our issues, just ask those voters to consider them. If they decide against us, so be it, a lot of white voters do too, but it's silly not to bring our message to them.

“Why write all black voters off? That’s a really STOOPID strategy.”

Who said to write them off? Are you writing them off if you do not parade in front of the NAACP or make amends to Jesse Jackson?

A black American will want the same things as any other American - respect, comfortable living environment, ability to raise one own’s family.

The appeal of the GOP to blacks cannot be done by going thru organizations such as the NAACP or Jesse’s Rainbow Coalition.

It is done by education and display of what conservatism brings to the table - freedom and opportunity.

Treating blacks as a special group like Steele is doing is making the GOP no better than the Dems.
