The republican party has spent tons of money and time over the last decade on “black outreach”. I remember when President Bush would make his yearly pilgrimage to the NAACP convention. For what? Blacks support democrats at the same rate they did before the outreach. Eventually it comes to a point where Republicans need to cut their losses and tell the black community, “This is what we believe, take or leave it. If your interested call us, we’re done calling you.”

African American's are 8% of the population, probably less of the voting population, in other words they do not represent a significant block by themselves, only as part of an entitlement minded coalition. Republicans need to sway the independent suburban voters (Reagan Democrats) back into the party, not inner city blacks. Harsh words but the political truth nonetheless.
