Hope and Change actually is working...
More Micheal Steele Republicans?
Da Democrats has to figure out how to keep ‘em on da plantation. They are gettin’ uppity and think that they can vote for anybody they want.
all we need now&then(come 2016) is knowing that Allen West will be the next Secretary of Defense under President Cruz. Then lets see Hillary try to get the black vote.
Imagine that—a mere 81% voted Democrat in the last presidential election!
Eventually African Americans will realize that liberals situate their abortion clinics in minority neighborhoods, “choose” good private schools for their own kids, herd minorities into union controlled urban holes and pay frontmen like Sharpton and Jackson to spread propaganda. That realization is the best long term hope for the country.
“AA”??? You mean African American? Does that mean black? Tell me, if they demanded you refer to them as
“Americans of Eastern, and Sometimes Western African Origins Dating Back to Earlier Centruries, and Occassionally Mixed With Races Other Than European, or African Personages” would you do it?
How deeply must you bow when using their exalted, magisterial, 7 syllable “formal title”?
There are definite changes taking place in the black community mostly driven by women.
The failure of John Conyers to qualify for the ballot is a perfect example. He fully expected someone to fix his problem but it was a black female county clerk who came down on him with both feet. He may run and win as a write in candidate but I don’t think he’ll do it by fraud.
Republicans need to have a plan to help minority communities participate and be successful in the American marketplace, and spell out this plan. School choice, vouchers, etc. are a good start, but aren't enough.
They need to tell these communities how they are going to address gangs, crime, safety of their children. They need to talk directly to these communities and tell them why it seems like the only jobs available appear to be at McDonald's etc. They need to come up with solid plans, like the availability of vocational training / trade school-type of training that will be part of a larger plan to bring back American manufacturing jobs etc., and then contrast that with Obama’s ‘let's send everyone to college on student loans’ rhetoric, even though current college graduates are having a hard time finding employment.
Those types of tangible plans will go a long way to diffuse the inevitable ‘Republicans are the party of rich white people’ rhetoric that the Democrats will not so subtly use.
Depends on what you mean by count on it….the Dem math fails if black turn out is down and that figure ever drops below 90. Both are likely to happen in 2014.
If the GOP could ever get to 15% - or more - ruins the Democrat coalition.
This dramatic "gender gap" can be explained by affirmative action. A black woman is a "two-fer", in that hiring/enrolling her counts twice on the affirmative action hiring statistics. Black men are more dependent upon the health of the private sector for their employment, which is an avenue for leading them to the Republican side.
Every African-American who want to advance based on his abilities should be jumping at the chance of getting involved in the Republican party.
