The same is true of the 'white community'. I see it in many quarters, in many circles, on this board and in many threads.
There’s no way to appeal to such people without being racist.
Should I consider the similar-thinking/acting whites to be beyond hope, too?
In reality, some men, you just can't reach. There will always be people who just see the black dude, or the white dude, FIRST, and an individual second. There will be whites who see blacks and go right to the stereotype, AND visa versa...same with every race. Pray for them, but they're not the primary cluster of focus.
For those on the bubble, I'm not proposing a liberal wokey, stupidy "I am colorblind" fantasy. Of course you cannot NOT notice skin color, just like you cannot NOT see tattoos on a neck, nose piercings, and a Mohawk. But just like you shouldn't assume the tatted-up dude is a loser, skin pigmentation shouldn't necessarily color your judgement (no pun intended).
The writer is pretty clear about his thesis: whites must go to blacks and invite them to join our movement, and not speak to them/about them from afar or with not one credible black person on the platform with us.
To test this hypothesis, let's consider Dubya, McCain, Willard, and Trump. I cannot think of any meaningful, material actual meeting with blacks or actual support from blacks the first three losers.
But Trump...remember this?
...which lead to this...
THAT scene is one of many that drove the leftists to defeat Trump...because he was the ONLY guy on our side (except for Walter Williams perhaps) to REALLY reach out to blacks.
AND IT WORKED! He didn't just pay lip-service to race-relations. He hired blacks, worked with blacks, and probably had more black people in his Rolodex than Dubya, McCain, and Willard COMBINED. His numbers with minorities were through the roof vs other Republicans. Over time, I suspect if this type of actual engagement continues, the Dems will have a real problem on their hand.
Blacks are individuals just like whites are individuals. They don't like to be taken for granted - that's what the left does. To 'go to them' is to be genuine, like evangelists and missionaries. Otherwise, it's all talk.
