Simple. Treat us like you would yourselves.

I thought we were talking politics here. Is there a particular message that you would like to hear from, for instance, the GOP? Or that you think would be useful in persuading blacks of whatever it is that they need to be persuaded of.

I didn't mean "how should I approach a black person on the street, or in the elevator." It was my black friends who long ago pointed out that I was overly nice to other black people [obviously in an effort to counter the leftist/marxist racial division techniques which are so pervasive.] One of them said something like, "dude, why don't you just save time and wear a t-shirt that says 'Hello, I am not a racist'?"

We are talking politics, and I meant exactly what I said. Treat us as you would yourselves.

The approach should not be different between ethnic groups. For example, if a conservative campaigns on how tax reduction keeps more money in the voters' pockets and creates jobs, stick with that point. Do black people want to keep more of the money they earn?

Apply this across the board whatever the issue may be. If it's good for white America, then it's equally good for black America. We all didn't arrive here on the same ship, but today, we're all in the same boat.

Lastly, let the Democrats deal with hitting people based on "diversity." That nonsense is not important. It's about time someone stood up and pointed out our similarities instead of our differences.

Then again, what do I know?
