Agreed and it adds up to about 8% of blacks voting republican.
8% is an average.
You have to ask why I gotabout 30% of Blacks in the Chicago suburb of Hanover Park to vote for the most conservative slate in a 3 way with the RINOS and the Union Democrats.
You have to ask how my successor, Toni Carter got at least 87% of the Blacks in that same area to vote for the most conservative, smal government slate when the RINOS and Union Democrats united around a single slate.
You have to ask why here in Mostly Black south side of Atlanta 49% of the Blacks vote for school choice and 49% vote for the Teacher’s union. Now why is nobody, including me, reachng out to welcome them in (as I did in Hanover Park).
You have to ask why the Republican candidate for mayor got 55% and 60% in the mostly Black precincts east of my in Atlanta. She lost the close race to the Democrat because the Republican whites in NW Atlanta stayed home and had. Apparently they thought her race was hopeless. But if they had gone to the polls in the same level of turnout as the less white areas, the Republican would have won.
I am not saying that it is easy. I am saying it can be done. It is like athletics. I guarantee that if you don’t show up you will forfeit and lose. Showing up does not guarantee a victory. But it is an essential part.
And showing up is not sitting in the stands. Showing up is playing the game.
To win, one must work hard and work smart.
