Republicans who swallow this must have missed Al "The Race Pimp" Sharpton's convention speech that plainly said the blacks would never leave the Dems plantation...to the loudest applause of the convention. Save your money, RNC. Blacks will never figure it out. They would rather get the check in the mail from all of our paychecks and have an excuse for their failure by blaming the evil white man.
I would respectfully disagree. While there's no chance of getting anywhere over 5% of the black vote this year, things are changing. In Kentucky, several prominent black religious leaders in Louisville are now openly registered Republicans and are encouraging their congregations to vote that way as well. The black community is still one that follows their "leaders". When we have more of these people on our side, the community as a whole will follow.
Young professional blacks are becoming disenfranchised with the Democrat Party because they are recognizing that they have been used. Ten more years and I think there is a very good chance that Republican candidates can get 30-40% of the black vote.
