What do you mean "about time"? I've been saying for years, don't believe the LIES about Black people voting Democrat 90% of the time. That is and alway has been a Leftist lie perpetuated by their media lapdogs.

Black conservatives are invisible to the public. The rat media won't even acknowledge you exist.

What are your sources for that claim other than that you have been saying it for years?

I live in a predominantly white town, but for several reasons, my evangelical church attracts quite a few black parishioners. We enjoy ribbing each other over our differing worship styles, but our church has truly become a close knit sanctuary against an increasingly weird world.

Here's what I've seen of "Black Evangelicals". These couples are all married, and have exceptionally close relationships with their children. The kids respect their parents, and even the teens seem warm and forthright. They've rejected certain "feel good" churches to seek out a Bible based theology, which they actually apply to their lives. They reject abortion, sexual promiscuity, and homosexuality. They live within their means, and keep their promises when they make a church commitment.

We had a "Gospel Night" during Black History month, and several black people were brought to tears when they played a jazzy version of the national anthem. They're the first to pray for our troops and the President. They're so conservative they would put the average Freeper to shame. (In fact, they probably are Freepers. Hi guys!)

Folks that think Black=DemocRAT need to spend some time my church.

I used to think that exit polls showing blacks voting 90% Democrat were false, since in many cases blacks did not want to admit they voted for a Republican, and it does appear that there was some of that going on in Mississippi in 2000. However, after looking at precinct-level voting statistics in several cities, I have to admit that blacks in most cities cast well over 90% of their votes for Al Gore in 2000. Such voting performance is shameful, both to blacks and to the GOP, but unfortunately it is the truth. We need to make a stronger appeal to blacks' social conservatism so that, instead of them being a monolithic voting block for the RATs, their votes are "in play" enough so that we can get 30% of the black vote.

If the GOP can obtain just 30% of the black vote, it would make it virtually impossible for RATs to win statewide in any state in the South and in many states in the North, and would even give black Republicans a good chance of getting elected in black-majority districts in the South. I think a good first step would be helping Herman Cain win the GOP Senate nomination in Georgia, and then electing him in the fall. There are several other black conservatives running for the GOP nomination in races around the nation, all of whom would be helpful in getting out the message that being black is not incompatible with being a Republican. Hopefully, the gay-marriage issue will allow social conservatives of all races to coalesce around the defense of the institution of marriage.
