The Growth and Opportunity Project, aka “the autopsy,” was heralded as the Republican Party’s clear-eyed assessment of its 2012 presidential defeat. Autopsies are done on dead things, and ever since its March 2013 release, the GOP has done everything possible to stay dead.
The Republican Party is dead to African Americans. Not that there was much of pulse to begin with. Romney won 6 percent of the black vote to 93 percent for Obama, which isn’t surprising since Romney was looking to unseat the nation’s first black president. But it is also not surprising considering all of the voter suppression efforts around the country.
That the GOP ought to try to appeal to African Americans was recognized in the autopsy. “There are numerous outside groups that are studying the best way for the Republican Party to better reach African American voters,” the report pointed out. “The Republican Party should leverage the best practices identified by such organizations.” You employ that “best practices” nonsense when you and your staff haven’t a clue what to do. And it’s clear that if Michael Steele, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee who is black, were still head of the party, at least two egregious episodes would not have happened.
A tweet from the party’s official Twitter account on Sunday would not have celebrated Rosa Parks on the anniversary of her historic bus-boycott arrest by lauding “her role in ending racism.” Sure, the tweet was later corrected. But, come on, people. The lowest level black person at the RNC could have told them that the tweet as flat-out wrong and offensive. Not that anyone would have listened, assuming there are any low-level black people there.

Might as well segregate the country into two parts, one with whites and one with blacks.
They already are.
They just don’t know it yet.
But as the Dictatorship tightens it’s grip, it will become self-evident to anyone not goose-stepping to the Regime.

Huh. I find that VERY suprising. I thought blacks voted over 97 percent for the Kenyan.

He is their token gay male.

Its sad really because blacks could contribute so much if they weren't burdened w/ this self-destructive greivance mentality.
Black leaders that do state the truth are shouted down and ridiculed. Blacks that have achieved great things, unless they follow the partyline, are denigrated instead of emmulated.
So just how are republicans, or conservatives supposed to address that and be honest? I don't know.

Just read my tag line.
Sorry - we don’t play identity group politics. Individuals with brains vote for us. If there aren’t enough of those left in America, well, no imitation Democrat scams would make any difference in our results, anyway.
Depending on whose study you read, the point spread is 92-97% voted for skin color over America.
By their deeds shall ye know them...
Do you really want to go there?
This is propganda piece from somebody with an agenda.
It's his snapshot of what he thinks is going on at one moment in time.
Nothing more than that.
How things will look five or ten years down the road is hard to say.
I believe most blacks think President Lincoln was a Democrat. Certainly they are unaware that it was the Republicans who freed the slaves.
What stories like what this FREAK just wrote really mean is THE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS are crapping their pants that their LIBERALISM has finally been OVERPLAYED and their going to LOSE THEIR COMMIE SHORTS COME 2014 and 2016.
The fact that some conservatives keep calling him “The Kenyan” is a part of the problem.
“Gee, we call him a’Kenyan’ as a perjorative, but why won’t people of color vote for us?
Even if they were right, the people who keep making an issue of his birthplace have done more harm than good. I know a heck of a lot of Irish who were/are as conservative as anyone posting here, but damned if they didn’t rally around Kennedy and would have done so even if it had been proven he was born in Dublin.
Tin Cans Rattling? Ronald Reagan always said “BEAT THE ODDS”
The second you try to appeal to latinos etc. the game is over.
