Quote by: samsara15 If so, good for him. It's time the GOP paid some attention to black people. For far too long, they have used ignored the political interests of black people and used them as their whipping boys. It is my hope that the rest of the GOP does so, aw well. The Democrats coming victory in November can be ameliorated if the GOP can get a few more black votes.
However, even a victory in November cannot hide forever the failure of the Bush presidency. History will eventually have its day, and the sham of Conservative infallibility revealed for what it is. | The same libs on this forum who shout that creating "schisms" between the races only keep alive racism, keep alive the lie that Reps are anti-Black while Dems are pro-black. That is a lie. Blacks, by a large majority, are conservative christians and agree with Repubs on most social issues. In recent issues--faith-based initiatives, school choice and school vouchers among others... it was the Reps who took the posiiton favored by Blacks, while Dems took the principle of separation of church/state and the NEA unions over the interests of failing Black communities.
Reps are NOT anti-Black. They are anti-gang, anti-crime. When the black community starts aligning itself with real leaders like Powell and Rice, instead of race-baiting bigots like Jackson and Sharpton--then they will see that Reps are offering them "a hand" and not "a hand out"... |
19 % of Blacks voted for Bush in 2004, which is the highest amount Republicans EVER got from Blacks. But those Black votes were bought with faith based initiative money, and played on the homophobia some evangelical Blacks thrive on.
So cut the cr*p about by a large majority of Blacks agreeing with Republicans, 81% is the large MAJORITY Sparky and they didn't vote for Bush.
