I hope it is true this time. I thought the black community would start to move toward the GOP back when daddy Bush was around. Anyone else but me remember the revolt of local NAACP chapters from the national charter over Gulf War I. The Thomas hearings didn't sit well with some also. I think welfare reform has helped the black community as well. Maybe some are seeing it that way as well?

We can hope. Apathy and prejudice or not the GOP has their interest at heart even if it doesn't seem that way at times. I say welcome aboard, but leave the liberal luggage behind.

Yep, there are some blacks I would NEVER welcome to the Republican party. Most are currently in the Black Caucas now.
