What about a conservative black candidate?
Most blacks would not vote for him/her. You can hear this in their vitriol for people like Rice and Thomas.
I don’t think it can be refuted that the first black and/or woman president will be a conservative.
I bet the right black conservative could muster 20% of the black vote for Republicans. That would be more than enough.
The fact that there are black candidates they won’t vote for doesn’t negate the fact that many, if offered a choice of 2 liberal candidates, will choose the black one. Hillary would likely have gotten their votes had Obama not run.
