This is nothing but good for us, for conservatives, and for our country and culture. It needs to be encouraged.

. In the 1930s, as New Deal Democrats began cultivating African-Americans, the Republican hold on African-American voters began to fracture.

Trying to get them onto the DemocRATS' plantation.

Not only was the Republican Party the party of Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, the Democrat Party was the party of the Ku Klux Klan, horrible murder and lynchings, and resistance to civil rights for 100 years. It’s about time that liberty-loving black people come back to the Republican Party.

If I could find my way home to the Republican party, any other black person can. I see the era of Obama as a time that many, many more will do so.

Welcome to sanity Black Republicans. You’re welcome here as long as you respect the Constitution. We would LOVE to see you share fully in the conservative resurgence. And I, for one, hope you find much personal success and fulfillment.

In the 1930s, as New Deal Democrats began cultivating African-Americans, the Republican hold on African-American voters began to fracture.

Good article and good news, but this little bit of mythology bugs me.

The black switch from Republican to Democrat was instant and permanent, FDR got 23% of the black vote in 1932 which was typical (blacks always voted GOP), and then suddenly won 71% in 1936, and it stayed that way from then on until today, creeping up a little more in the 1960s.

There is something about what changed from 1932 to 1936 that no one wants to discuss, and that is why they keep repeating this mythology about civil rights and the 1960s being when the black vote changed.

I was told that by voting for a black Republican (I voted for Keyes when he ran for President in the Primary) I was the worst form of racist because I voted for an "Uncle Tom"...

I was told this by a Professor from a nearby college. It must be true because he has a PHD.

**Republicans trumpeting 2010 as “The Year of the Black Republicans.”**

I like the ring of that!

I can hardly believe someone in the MSM noticed. How can one ever connect racism with the Teaparty when they hear about this?

They want to know what we ALL want to know; what have you done for me lately? Focus there. The past is the past and can not help us except to instruct us in the folly of an all-powerful centralized government and the destruction it can wreak on civil liberty and freedom.

There are generations of black millionaires coming along who are for the first time in history legitimate residents of some of the upper income brackets. Their middle class has been decimated and brainwashed by the left and will not trust us as easily. That much is sure.

But there will be more Conservatives. Let’s not pass water down their backs and tell them it’s raining like the ‘Rats have done. Let’s offer a real opportunity to drop the hyphenated American trap, concentrate on values and character issues you KNOW that so many religious and good God fearing black families want to enjoy and have a seat at the table. I think we need to talk to them straight up; like you would to adult men and women, not children.

Dems treat them like children, trapping them in dependence. Offer that way out and growth might be slower but it will have a firm foundation. They are becoming more aware of it and eventually they will listen to those who are succeeding.

It’s a tragedy what has happened because of the Great Society, but it won’t be undone by us pointing to Lincoln. They will see that the giveaways Zero and his like are offering once again are enslaving and not the way out. Their new emerging upper class and educators will help. There are some good role models. We need to be vocal about that and prove to them that Zero and his troops are the new master, the same as the old master.

Don’t forget Allen West in Florida. He’s raised close to 3 million more than Klein-D and is leading in the race.

Allen is a future bright conservative star of the Republican party.

See, dems, what happens when you let a few black folks escape the plantation without hunting them down? They start to get all uppity and think for themselves.

November is harvest time and unfortunately the “hands” will be back of the Democrat plantation to help out. There will be fewer but make no mistake, the ones who show up will be there to help massa Democrat.

Charlotte Bergman http://www.charlottebergmann.com/, took 61% of the GOP primary vote for the US 9th District, Memphis, TN. She goes up against the 2 term incumbent white male Steve Cohen, an Obambi butt kisser. Cohen says he votes like a black woman. BUT HE WON’T DEBATE THIS BLACK WOMAN.

“Overall, the GOP has fielded more than 30 African-American candidates for federal office”

Hope they don’t pull a Colin Powell, Condeleeza Rice, and J.C. Watts in backing Hussein.
