No, republicans are scared that courting the black vote will scare off the white Christian bloc that is a strong hold of their constituency.

its really that simple. They fear white flight

I think it has a lot more to do with the fact that what Black Americans want from the GOP are probably things that the GOP fundamentally opposes.

And no, before you say "equal rights," I'm talking about dropping opposition to affirmative action, dropping plans to curb entitlement spending, etc.

You sir are dumb.

Why would white Christians not want black Christians to vote with them.

You sir are a condescending liberal.

Your type are the true racists.

In a nutshell, that's exactly what Nixon's political strategist Kevin Phillips said in a 1970 New York Times article:

quote:

Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.
