African-Americans (why aren't they American Africans - are they Afrians first and foremost?) Anyway - mark this - they will always be a writeoff group for Repulicans. They have no idea what republicanism is. Chasing them is wasted effort. Look for smarter groups to expand the tent.
Intelligent blacks who have crossed over don't even call themselves African-Americans, and they vote as though they are individuals - not tribal voters. And they are treated that way. But elections are about building coalitions, and this group is so gone. Racism this - racism that - racism on and on and on and on. Shut the HELL up.

Your comments betray your outrageous bigotry. Why would any group vote for a party who considers them stupid? The term African-American was adopted to acknowledge heritage, in the same way that the term Italian-Americans is used. American is included for the obvious reason that they are Americans. To capture the African-American vote the first step will be to understand them, not to expect them to come to us. It is the pinnacle of arrogance to expect any group to accept Republicanism before we accept them and their unique issues.
