Thank you and in this Regan’s 1977 CPAC speech we find a response to those who would stereotype blacks as “only” voting for welfare.

“The time has come for Republicans to say to black voters: Look, we offer principles that black Americans can, and do, support.” We believe in jobs, real jobs; we believe in education that is really education; we believe in treating all Americans as individuals and not as stereotypes or voting blocs”

Ronald Regan.....

I'm glad you read it. That paragraph did not escape my notice either. At the same time, I'm sure that President Reagan wouldn't advocate trying to pander to a segment of voters, be they African American or Women, just to win their temporary allegiance or votes if they didn't really believe in the principles and values. Hence, there are segments of each of these voters that Conservatism can ignore and not try to 'appeal' or 'communicate' to. This is the mistake of Michael Steele and others.
