From the article:

“Massive black turnout affects the GOP’s presidential chances only in Virginia, Ohio, and Florida (with the Hispanic vote a counter-balance), and even there we will see, post-Obama, how permanent that is only from 2016 on; certainly it had no effect in the 2014 midterms. Why then should the GOP look to black support as a group rather than appeal to all groups on economics?

Blacks moved en masse from the Republicans to the Democrats because of Roosevelt’s economic policies. If the GOP can demonstrate that that is the path forward for all Americans and can point to the growing number of black conservatives as elected representatives, successful business people, professionals, and in the media, there can be an end to dogma and fear, and a move to a genuine multiculturalism based on mutual respect and mutuality of interest, with prosperity the cure for the ills of society. The laying to rest of “demographics” may also be the best thing for the Democrats as they seek to recover from the dead end that path has made for them.”

It was LBJ with his civil rights and total medicade, housing, and freebie programs that made him claim, "I will have these n-66ers voting demonRAT for the next 100 years".
