The facts on the ground are that, in election after election, the vast majority of the black vote goes to the Democrats no matter what the Republicans try.IMHO, the Pubs haven't really done anything until very recently. I call it a benign neglect. But this is beside my point.
I understand what you are saying about me being non-typical. But still, why would I want to be joining an organization where a significant number of said organization hold these views of either me or those who look like me?
On the left-hand (no pun intended), I'm used. On the right-hand, I'm "written off." So with no real house to call a politcal home, this vagrant will remain independent. Let's just say that I will not impose myself on anyone's party.
I understand what you are saying about me being non-typical. But still, why would I want to be joining an organization where a significant number of said organization hold these views of either me or those who look like me? Which is a contributing factor for white males have been leaving the Dems.
Then again, why is it so important for the Republicans to be addressing blacks as blacks? When the economy tanks, both blacks and whites have hard times. When the WTC was hit, both blacks and whites died. If Al-Queda sets off a dirty bomb in NYC, or we get a bio hit, both blacks and whites will be affected. It seems to me that perhaps we should be focusing on which party will produce a better environment for all Americans, rather than which one caters best to this or that group
Actually, I don't know why I'm in this Dem/Pub debate, since I'm a dues-paying Libertarian, who voted for Andre Marrou for Pres in 2000.
