Bravo. I don't know if it will make a difference in this cycle, but the GOP needs inroads into the AA community....like bad.

"Personal responsibility" can sell in the AA community. For every knucklehead you see in the news there are many, many other law abiding citizens who know the AA community is in trouble/needs to embrace responsibility.

You've really loosened up lately FWIW.

And you are quite correct. Once the R's became labeled as the white-man party serving their own, of course minorities would flee. However, there are a good amount of minorities that also have the best interest of our nation at heart that will vote with their brain, instead of what is promised to them.

There was a meeting in Chicago recently where black folks gathered and were fed a steady diet of the same old blame game. They responded in a way that should make democrats and republicans take notice.

quote:

This past Thursday, a town hall meeting hosted by Al Sharpton and the National Action Network to address gun violence exploded into a revolt against “Chicago Machine” politics, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and black alderman in City Hall with panel and audience members calling to vote out their elected officials. One 82-year-old preacher even called for “Tea Party” style meetings in some of Chicago’s south side communities such as Altgeld Gardens and Trumbull Park
.



quote:

It would behoove the Republican party to engage the inner city communities with policy inclusiveness and hat tip to Senator Rand Paul for his recommendations for Detroit, on issues such as economic empowerment zones, small business growth, school choice, restoration of the black family, and running anti-establishment corrupt politicians.


quote:

As you watch this video, just imagine Rev. Al’s face as he sat there. Of course the liberal progressives and the black acolytes of progressive socialism will say this video was taken out of context or does not portray the entire event – but it seems to me a pretty good sampling and the responses from the audience support this premise.
