What approach ? There's been no approach. For decades, it has been nothing but lip service. The GOP has been the textbook definition of AWOL when it has come to the Black community. Even in the instances where the party has recruited Black candidates, they'll say, "Look, we've nominated a Black candidate !" but give them almost no financial support or GOTV efforts. You can't win without that unless under extraordinary efforts by the candidate.
“The Democrats are the real racists!” Okay, blacks vote ~90% democrat. So I guess most blacks are racist, right?"
Many indeed are. The Demonrats foment this and exploit the worst of their instincts. The Republicans do next to nothing to address and change this. This inaction serves to underscore their beliefs.
"Oops, of course not. No, they’re victims! They’re held hostage on the Democratic plantation!"
They're both. These conclusions aren't mutually exclusive.
"By who? Latinos and asians, who also vote heavily Democrat, if not nearly to the same extreme?"
Latinos and Asians are not uniform in their voting habits and break down into different groups and their reasonings are different. With respect to Black voters, the reasonings and pathologies differ from those other groups.
"No, no. We’re aiming for those votes too, so criticism won’t do. They also need rescuing! The Jews too!"
Groups that vote ignorantly against their interests should be targeted for conversion. With respect to Jewish voters, there are also two distinct groups. Ones that are pro-Israel, and many of those do vote Republican. The remainder are those that claim to be of the faith, but they in fact worship Socialism and are even openly hostile to Israel. Unless you can somehow persuade them to abandon their apostasies, that indeed would be a losing proposition, politically-speaking.
"So... it’s those ****ing white people!"
Quite a few of them are part of the problem, too. Those that have also been indoctrinated into the leftist hate as part of "Big Ed" over the decades and the SJWs, the fruits of that rotten tree.
"Maybe without even realizing it, those are the terms on which the GOP pursues black votes now, and the terms on which its base are expected to frame the situation. That very victim mentality you no doubt decry in other contexts, you tacitly endorse *here*."
As I said above, the Republicans AREN'T pursuing those votes for a number of reasons. The party leadership has been stagnant for decades and seems quite fine and dandy with the situation. They treat it like a country club with dwindling and aging members. No wonder they reacted with horror when outsiders like Trump dare come in and decide that things not only have to change, but MUST change.
"Do you see why this may not be a good idea? To defeat the “Stalinist Slave Plantation”, you’ve taken up its worst assumptions and even policy justifications. And it’s *still* failing."
I make no assumptions. I draw conclusions based on decades of observations and noting the results. What is clear is that the prior "approach" doesn't work. To keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity. I'm all for exploring every possible approach that can actually be called an "approach."
