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.
You would have had to listen to her on the radio today, but basically the missed opportunities was Republicans sitting back and allow the Marxists formulate their view of America for black people. That Republicans couldn’t or wouldn’t promote conservative values, because conservative values work for all who follow them, to the black communities.
Not all of any race are the same. Many Blacks do not vote because they disagree with the Democrat Party agenda but feel the Republicans don’t want them.
At a Republican local party dinner in IL, a Black Republican who looks like a Marine from haircut to shiny shoes started to sit down in an empty chair at one of the circular tables of 8 chairs. The establishment Republican, who works for the IRS, tipped the chair over to lean against the table and said “This chair is taken.” The Marine could handle it and went to another table ... a better table, in fact.
After the Marine left, the establishment Republican said “I have to work beside them all day. I’ll be damned if I’ll sit beside them outside of work.”
This Marine could handle it and has done OK since then. But many Blacks encounter things like this and just try to stay invisible.
The RNC came out with their report that the GOP should do more to attract the young, the minorities and women. So Erika Herold, Miss America, a lawyer, a pro-life activist also active in Chuck Colson’s prison ministry runs for Congress.
The RNC and 2/3 of the local Republican establishment could not have it. The establishment made overt racist statements against her.
The establishment owed that vacancy to the establishment staffer who successfully put the lid on exposure of establishment corruption in Denny Hastert’s House. So the best candidate for the Congressional seat was shafted.
In my heavily minority area of a Chicago suburb, I got 100% of the Hispanic vote* and about 35% of the Black vote. I left that suburb and turned it over to the Black preacher’s wife. she again got 100% of the Hispanic vote* and must have got at least 87% of the Black vote because I know she did not get 87% of the Divorced and promiscuous white women vote. (*except 1 Puerto Rican woman)
In the heavily Black area of Atlanta, Trump only got 10% or 20% of the vote, depending on the precinct. But the Republican candidate for mayor got 55% and 65% depending on the precinct.
In short, there are plenty of Blacks who would leave the plantation.... Not a majority yet across a large city or state, but cutting the 90-10 to 60-40 is very doable and should be done.
