This post does give some very encouraging news, and I really do feel that more and more blacks are slipping the chains of the liberal plantation and at least giving the Republican Party a serious look, instead of just rejecting it out of hand as an instrument of racial hatred.
Having said that, though, I feel I really need to point out that Duval County is a very conservative part of the state of Florida, with lots of active duty and retired military people, quite comparable to the western Panhandle, where "broken glass Republicans" are the rule. Once black Republicans start making serious inroads in places like the People's Demokratik Republik of Palm Beach County and in the other counties in South Florida, where Fidel Castro has better poll numbers than George W. Bush, then Je$$e Jacka$$ and his Rat comrades have serious cause for worry.
Until that happens, we need to look at this as a starting place.
Precisely what I am doing. A guy can be optimistic can't he?
