If polling data suggest otherwise okay, but one of the predominant themes was that blacks would rather their children be schooled IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY rather than be schooled in the white. They dismissed vouchers on this basis.
Just to clarify. I am conservative to the bone and support vouchers 100%.
My expressed opinion is reality, at least to some degree.
This is what Republicans must understand when they frame the debate. Saying to the Black Community, "don't you want your kids to get a good education, well the Democrats don't" won't work. You have to frame the argument such that the Black Community sees how vouchers benefit the black community overall. Only then will you get mass acceptance of the fact that Democrats are out to keep them down.
You gotta look at the context a bit more. Blacks were discriminated against until just a few short decades ago. The Black Community is what has allowed them to survive thrive and perservere. Only time will heal those wounds. Of course the rapid demise of the NAACP, the Black Caucus and Rainbow Push wouldn't hurt.
All you have to know is that the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson is hated by a majority of Blacks for his views. That gives the perspective I'm sharing with you a titanium foundation.
