Or when the competition wins with honesty - Trump made big inroads when he made that 2016 campaign comment, and the leftist fear is still palpable.

...While Black voters remain overwhelmingly allied with the Democratic Party, some, especially older churchgoers, have a conservative streak when it comes to social issues like abortion. The best way to communicate to those members of her community, Ms. Smith-Pollard and other faith leaders said not long before the court ruled to eliminate the constitutional right to abortion, would be to frame the response as not just a matter of abortion, but rather as part of a broader movement to restrict individual rights, including voting, marriage and control over one’s own body.
The most effective message for her community “would be like having to have the conversation without the word abortion,” Ms. Smith-Pollard later said in an interview.
...
The strong support for abortion rights among Democrats tends to obscure more nuanced positions held by critical components of the party’s electoral coalition, including among Latino voters in places like South Texas, once a Democratic stronghold, where the issue has helped push some Catholic voters toward Republicans.
...
Recent polling suggests that Black voters are supportive of a legal right to abortion, and the elimination of access to abortion will affect women of color disproportionately. But polling has also shown a split over the years among Black Americans on the morality of abortion, reflecting the enduring influence of the Black church, which has both been at the center of civil rights activism and long stood as a pillar of cultural traditionalism, particularly in the South.
“If the Democratic Party really wanted to appeal to Black Christians about reproductive rights, they would have to package it in a very specific way,” said Eric McDaniel, the co-director of the Politics of Race and Ethnicity Lab at the University of Texas at Austin.

“Nuanced views” = “Sure, we’ll let you kill babies”
As Rush Limbaugh said of the Clintons, the Democrat Party wakes up each morning and asks itself, “How can we fool them today.”
It sounds like the “ass. perfeser” in Austin says you have to speak to black folks differently than you speak to other races.
Which part of the Constitution mentions these “enumerated powers”?
If you read that correctly they are saying planned murderhood has put a lot of their murder mills in black neighborhoods.
We’ll never make inroads in the black vote. We can only hope they get discouraged and don’t show up to vote. If they’re not discouraged now they’ll never be.
Says much when such a high percentage of black pregnancies end in abortion and blacks are disproportionately having their children vaccinated with the experimental, mRNA COVID vaccines.
Always saying “acess to contraception” and “reproductive rights” - euphemisms to them - to bypass saying what they really mean - abortion.
It’s like saying “contraception”, wink wink nod nod, and “reproductive rights”, wink wink nod nod.
Their audience knows what they mean and so do we. But “journalism” then has the words they need to sell the agenda, to the ignorant.
Actually, pro-life should be instilling the idea that all their white masters in the DNC want to do is to eliminate out-of-wedlock welfare payments for their future babies. So what they are saying is ‘if you want to screw at will with no consequences, we will, but you won’t get the child care credits you have been living on.’ Sounds simple to me.
Not to be accusatory, but I thought the free republic had a clear policy against openly racist comments on this site.
Oh, and for background, the previous president DID make inroads to the black community. That’s how he won states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin in 2016
(Proof can be sent on request)
... And why they had to cheat in 2020 to take them back.
Just sayin...
“While Black voters remain overwhelmingly allied with the Democratic Party”
“Although black Americans comprise 13.4% of the U.S. population, they accounted for 36.0% of the abortions in 2015”
And Margaret Sanger smiles in her grave.
“While Black voters remain overwhelmingly allied with the Confederacy...”
Pro-slavery black Americans.
This. I don't know why we tried so hard.
George W. Bush did absolutely nothing and got a greater percentage of black voters than Donald Trump did, even after Trump rolled out his "Platinum Plan" of $500 billion in reparations to blacks.
Republicans today, without doing much, are actually making inroads with Hispanic voters, who are being driven away from the Democrats over their insane social issue stances.
Latino voters are where the outreach should be. Democrats will always have at least a 90% share of the black vote.
Fetal alcohol syndrome?
...I thought the free republic had a clear policy against openly racist comments on this site.
How is this racist? The first sentence is rather negative, and I disagree with it, but it is hardly racist. The second and third sentences are pure politics and have nothing to do with race. So where is the racism?
Black lives matter unless you’re a black baby, then not.
*..I thought the free republic had a clear policy against openly racist comments on this site.*
If you look for racism hard enough(or anything else) you’ll find it. It’s like the Jan. 6 folks.
Most American blacks are mixed in some way. You can tell by the those you see walking around in Europe and Africa. Burnt toast.
