I've met several Blacks who didn't know that the republican party was founded because the founders wanted to abolish slavery and give equal rights to Blacks. I thought that all high school history teachers should have taught that. Do you think more Blacks would be Republicans if they knew why the party was founded?

You have made the point of the day! Yes, and while the MSM has some blame here, I partially blame our Party for not pushing that history, and instead working harder to shrink the big tent. Times change, but history shouldn't, nor should the values that brought the Party together.
