I've donated to several guys who were mentioned here as needing help and I think a couple of them were black, I'd have to check. Whether you know it or not and whether those in your “circle” are honest enough with you to admit it or not there are a hell of a lot of people who are in the “once burned twice shy” camp with black folks ever since the 2008 elections. Colin Powell set black folks in the Republican party back a lot and not admitting it means not starting to solve the problem, that's all.
Human nature is human nature and people don't trust someone very similar to others who have betrayed them. It's a fact that needs to be openly admitted and addressed, not covered in holier than thou crap.
have a nice little day
Frankly, I was surprised by some national blacks, and regional blacks...by their votes for a liberal Democrat...only because he was black. Period.
And if you want to get down where the rubber meets the road....I look differently at black people that I don't know personally, because I think they voted for Obama...based on NOTHING more than his skin color. And you know what...I'm right.
I don't like it. I don't feel good about it....but that is fact.
