I guess it's considered "benign neglect" to not think it's important to have some special programs for you if your face is darker than a paper bag.
Silly me - I'd just rather treat everyone based on their character and by the same set of standards.
Conservative values appeal to blacks, but Republicans don’t. There are many many many years of brainwashing and neglect on the GOP itself that stand as a hurdle. Get past the hurdle and THEN, we can appeal to them on our own merits.
I didn’t say special programs...but at least acknowledge that they percieve them as issues.
It’s like arguing with your spouse - you might think they’re being “stupid” but you have to at least listen to their view point and acknowlege that you’ve heard it before you can make your point, otherwise you’re sleeping on the couch. (and sometimes still are...)
