“ Lefties are just as clueless, by the way, even though they do pander much.”

And the quantifier there is where exactly?

"Should only whites learn not to generalize, or could all races benefit by that advice."

All could benefit. Who should learn first? Each individual of us should learn first.

“ Each individual of us..”

Wait, what? Is English your first language? See how the insults work? Careful how you post because you might be hoisted on your own petard.

"Oh, and the entire article is one long generalization about white conservatives."

Yes, it is. But there are very few who would understand what the author was trying to say. He was nearly correct in not bothering with quantifiers.

I used proper English in that sentence. “...petard...” ...cliche.

We need to make black people feel more welcome in the conservative community.

This is a good article, and it would be smart for conservatives to appreciate the sentiment being conveyed.

There is probably nothing more terrifying to the Democrat power brokers than the idea of blacks, en mass, switching back to the Republican party.

*LOL* Goose meet gander... ;>)

I guess if you’re into 100 year old phraseology. Should we still spell it to-morrow?

I’m so tired of this. If you come at me with, “I’m black,” I don’t care, one way or another.

Many people here have expressed themselves as though they want a party or movement of exclusion against other categories of conservative voters based on irrelevant biases. That’s not good political strategy.

The road of who can pander most to minorities and continue to horsewhip southerners is for weak minded people and will never ever work

Conservatism is not about pandering

It’s about truth and reason tempered with morality

You can’t pander that....you get it easily or you’re a lefty

Broken inside trying to fix the world rather than oneself ....the essence of a lefty

You can’t out identity politic the progressives

This Dinesh notion always seen here that a 2019 democrat is the same as an antebellum democrat or a segregationist democrat and Republicans are the answer is just plain stupid and the province of the ignorant

But it sounds good to those who simply cannot resist pandering to blacks

Hasn’t Trump taught you dumbasses we are beyond all that......we are in crisis as we speak

The left through the Democrat party, NGOs and Foundations ,MEDIA and now Intelligence services axis or intersection as they say now is attempting to stage a coup again against our last great Hope who yeah happens to be white and a good post bellum blooded Yankee although he went to a military school and you can tell btw

And you guys want to pander to the negro on and on in spite of everything

Y’all are stupid and weak

That was last century

If you must pander to a non white then pander to Latinos

“Tear down the Alamo “

Your weak girly logic will lead right there soon enough trust me.

Re: Another step that many of our fellow whites could take...

“Our” fellow whites?

When did Conservatives start talking - or even thinking - like that?

I’ve been voting for 50 years.

In every one of those elections, 40%-60% of “our” fellow whites voted AGAINST my candidate or my issue.

Re: quantifiers

Can you explain what that means?

Is that a reference to the plural pronouns “we” and “our?”

HOWEVER, the “black community” more than any other group, by rates of 90%+, consistently votes Democrat. Why should conservatives then, go out of our way to appeal to a group that totally sides with the party of their own slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, and now, the abortion of their own race?

The word, many, is a quantifier.

The “black community” is code for “give us free schitt.”

The very term "black community", as used in this article is an oxymoron!

There are extremely wealthy blacks who are so far removed from the ghetto, that they belong to a whole other kind of "community". The same is true of middle class blacks. And many in each of those groups are many generations removed from any "black community" that was once upon a time filled with every level of class and monetary strata of that race.

Though President Nixon was the last GOP president who had any kind of visible black support, President Trump has now garnered quite a large percentage of it back. And HOW did he do that? By treating everyone as just an American and not as a member of any race. He says that he is "working for ALL" Americans and he is!

I didn’t mean to insult you, and I’m certainly not a perfectionist in regards to English. ...sorry if any of my comments bothered you. There are some words that matter in political speech, though. We want to win.

...Jews this...blacks that...? How about Jewish Democrats or black Democrats instead. If we’re going to generalize, why not generalize against Democrats while praising Republicans? ;)

Or how about saying many or too many? Then use great political speech to entice them into our collective (conservatives)?
