No one has said word one about changing our message. What we have said - repeatedly - is that we change where and how we deliver that message in order to reach blacks and and other minority audiences.
When you hit the ground, you're already in an uphil battle; the left in general, and the black left in particular is delivering "our message" now. The catch is that they are delivering their version of our message, which is why we, at this point, are persona non grata in the black community. This is why we are percieved as "evil" by most blacks.
All we have said is that the truth has to be presented to the people in question. If this does not happen, then the Jesse Jackson's and Al Sharpton's of the world will "deliver" our message for us. Do you want that happening? I certainly don't.
I do not see that as pandering.
