“Most minorities vote for only one reason: Welfare and more welfare.”
This is not true. The vast majority of minorities do not receive welfare and many look down on other minorities that do.
To the extent that welfare helps the Democrats with minorities, it is mainly due to the fact that Democrat welfare programs, while ultimately destructive to minorities, are seen as an indication that they “care”. On the other hand, conservative calls to cut these programs and get people to stand on their own feet and achieve a higher standard of living are spun as “racist”.
The fundamental problem is that the Democrat party is seen as the party that “cares”. Most don’t of course, and to the extent they do, their well meaning programs do more harm to minorities than ten thousand Klansmen ever could.
We need to effectively that we are the party that cares enough to tell the truth and not to pander.
The majority of them live on government handouts in one way or another and the majority of them do not pay any taxes.

You are right, and the post you respond to is a perfect example of why there is a disconnect.
If a group/party assumes that:
“Most minorities only vote for one reason: Welfare and more welfare”
how can that group expect minorities to not see it as racist and against minorities when faced with generalizations like that?
That thinking is a cop out, it relieves conservatives from the responsibility of looking in the mirror, many just repeat the same line over and over....
“It can’t be us, they just want more welfare” ... that’s not a strategy for winning only self validation.
AMPG, I agree with you, we need to effectively communicate that we are the party that cares enough to tell the truth and not to pander. we are the party of truth and consequences!
