As a proud CONSERVATIVE who happens to be half black, I can say for a fact that you are NEVER going to get the Black vote.

This might be true but there is an opportunity there, it seems to me. A significant part of the black community appears to be socially conservative, religious, in favor of border enforcement. A very good communication and outreach effort by the GOP could peel these black voters away from the Democrats.

But dumb, laughable attempts to appeal to some "hip hop" community are doomed to failure and endless mockery by the liberal establishment and the media.

And conservatives.

yes, but like I stated, theyve (many if not most, but not all obviously) have been brainwashed to believe that republicans hate black people, when its just the opposite. democrats have kept many socially conservative blacks feeling like they should depend on government.

this is what we will begin to see with the larger country with universal healthcare and a lot of the things 0bama is doing. once universal healthcare goes through, there may not be any coming back from that.

Anyone listen to John Gibson on Fox. Or, John Gibson on Fox Sirius Satellite Radio? He has been doing a what’s bad about hip hop or the hip hop crowd, for over a year IIRC. He is on about the same time as Mark Levin so I haven’t listened for a while.

With Obama in there these efforts are a waste of time. Just like every other position won by an african american, it immediately becomes a “black seat” and all independent thoughts are left at the “race card check” window. Only pure rassists will attempt to run for the “black seat” Look at urban centers like Atlanta, Philapelphia, Baltmordor, Washington DC, Birmingham, Oakland, etc., The absolute decay, crime, drugs, and economic decline has yet to lead to a republican taking over and instituting real problem solving solutions. And these issues have been occuring for 40 years.
