From your lips to God’s ears. Things are transitioning for blacks in America with regard to party affiliation. I look at it as similar to the blue collar Democrats like my grandparents, who were conservative, church-going, family first people. They always voted Dem. because it was the thing to do - they were from the east coast and always worked as laborers in textiles or paper factories. My Grandfather changed when Ronald Reagan came along. The last Dem President he truly admired was JFK.

I've gotta get out and mingle more, because I'm not seeing that transition occurring. I will say that there are a handful of black people who've attended our local Tea Party meeting, which is encouraging.

And, because of the internet, I've become aware of black conservative groups, and so forth. One group that I'm thinking of getting in touch with, is Apostle Claver's group, out of Houston. They're doing a lot to spread the conservative message in the black community, and they need the help of other black conservatives.
