Imagine that—a mere 81% voted Democrat in the last presidential election!

Eventually African Americans will realize that liberals situate their abortion clinics in minority neighborhoods, “choose” good private schools for their own kids, herd minorities into union controlled urban holes and pay frontmen like Sharpton and Jackson to spread propaganda. That realization is the best long term hope for the country.

We hear this sort of "news" every election cycle, yet when it comes to pulling the lever in the voting booth, more than 90% of the AA community votes "D". This is especially true during presidential elections.

I am not saying conservatives/GOP should not pursue the AA vote, but we can never count on it when push comes to shove.

According to Pew Research exit polling, a full 19% of young black males between the ages of 18-29 cast their votes for Romney, while only 2% of black females in this age group went with the Republican.

This dramatic "gender gap" can be explained by affirmative action. A black woman is a "two-fer", in that hiring/enrolling her counts twice on the affirmative action hiring statistics. Black men are more dependent upon the health of the private sector for their employment, which is an avenue for leading them to the Republican side.

Every African-American who want to advance based on his abilities should be jumping at the chance of getting involved in the Republican party.

"Many of us vote Democrat because they are the one's that show up. They may be full of (expletive) but they show up at the churches and events, so that's who people listen to."

And why are they the only ones to show up? Maybe it is because of the vitriol thrown their way by upstanding members of the black community? Maybe it is because when they were growing up, conservative blacks were ostricized by their people of their own race, because they dared to step out of line.

When blacks begin to cut the cancer out of their communities, then they can begin to be free.

If they are coming to conservatives, it’s probably the only real chance they have to live a decent and free life.

Wait a second, Lyndon Johnson said he’d had them voting Democrat for 200 years, there’s still 150 years to go on that guarantee!

Any black American who wants to see this country prosper and wants an opportunity-filled future for their children should be interested in the conservative movement.

In the meantime stand by for more “disparate impact” nonsense from Eric Holder.

I’m sorry, but the number of young black males who actually defected to vote GOP would likely fit in two booths down at the local Dennys.

Color me skeptical.

School choice should be an issue pounded on over and over again in low income communities. It’s the perfect example of how the Democrats look to appease their coalition and the Republicans look to find a (somewhat) free market solution to a problem. What’s more important to your average American family than your kids education/future? Yet what issues are we talking about? Amnesty and Man Made Global Warming....

This just shows how idiotic the Republican party is. If Blacks ever defect to the Republican party, by and large it won’t be because of the Republican party. It will be an accident...

50 years of the liberal-progressives signature policy has resulted in an alarming increase in single-parent household rates among the black community, as well as a disproportionate rate of welfare dependence, abortion and crime.

Conservatives have been expounding on this for years yet the GOPe is afraid of saying it.

Two of my stepdaughters married black men. Both stepdaughters were pretty left wing. As for their black partners, one is a business owner and one works in banking/stocks/investment in NYC.

They now will not vote for a demoncrap. They got mugged and corrected their views.

I feel good! (credit to James Brown)

Republicans need to tap in to an increasingly frustrated black middle class.

That is, there are black families out there that work hard, get educated, live decent lives, and strive to better themselves. But then something weird happens.

Culturally, they are lumped together with blacks who are criminal, lazy, ignorant, and generally worthless. And it bugs the Hell out of them.

Let me emphasize that: it enrages them. And they have a point.

Like him or not, the comedian Chris Rock, who though he only has a GED, observed the horror of blacks with college degrees and even postgraduate degrees, when compared with blacks who had served felony prison sentences. “I’m just like you. I went to prison. That’s like a Masters degree!”

Imagine how oppressive it would be to white professionals, if our culture thought of them as no different than ill behaved lower class whites?

A big part of the problem with the black middle class is that when they succeed, they expect *recognition* as being successful.

Ironically, the white middle class doesn’t do this, to anyone. To them, being middle class means being left alone. To live in isolation in a suburban home surrounded by other suburban homes.

But to middle class blacks being left alone is a snub. They find it offensive when the *recognition* they expect to flow to them with success doesn’t come.

So what can the Republicans do?

Their outreach to middle class black America needs to incorporate some form of recognition, that conservatism and Republicanism is “the success club” to which they are, and want to be members. That once there, they are completely different from black people who are failures and Democrats.

This is not easy, but the end result would be worth it.
