Missed opportunities? How do you serve a community whose heroes are Steph Curry, LeBron (high school drop-out) James and Colin Kaepernick? Who consider education “being White.” Who avoid marriage like the plague. Who believe welfare is their due. Who consider ebola an ethnic treasure. Who claim prison convicts are martyrs to the cause. Whose Hollywood heroes are incapable of crafting an uplifting movie. Whose music artists are either pornographic or just this side of it. Its the black community (sic) that revels in missed opportunities.
Here’s the reality of the black middle class and working class: they firmly believe that without affirmative action and minority set-asides, that they would not have their current standard of living.
And they are totally correct. Affirmative action means they can get into college with grades that a white guy would be rejected for, and get positions that a white applicant would be rejected for.
The Republicans cannot out bid the Democrats on affirmative action. The Republicans cannot out bid the Democrats on social benefits. Any attempt to do so would lose more people from their base than they would gain from black voters.
I believe she is correct...the Republicans should do more to get minorities to vote for them...we have cowards as leaders, as they don’t want to offend leaders like Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton or others.
