Until blacks show some willingness to deal with the Republicans, the Democrats will continue to take them for granted. The NAACP used to be a fairly conservative organization, but Mfume took it way to the left. Let's hope they learned their lesson.
"Until blacks show some willingness to deal with the Republicans..."
Colin Powell isn't willing? Leeza Rice?
There is no monolithic "black community" or "black people". Each person has different ideas, and different goals. In that way they are like white folk, or green people, or... etc.
As more people with black skin join the middle class, and have wealth and pay taxes, the more they will join the GOP. The more the Dems hug gays and promote millions of scrambled black babies in abortion clinics the more they'll join the GOP.
