Now that is somewhat interesting. I would think a party that stands for individual liberty, less governmental control, lower taxes, fostering free enterprise, and that sort of thing could surely stand on its principles and offer an open tent to all who share those principles.
You imply that (in order not to be arrogant) Republicans must first accept "the unique issues" of "African-Americans". I don't know what those "unique issues" are. We all live under the same government and breathe the same air, don't we? As felow citizens of America, are we not affected by the issues that traditionally embody Republicanism-- greater individual freedom and responsibility?
If you contend that Republicans must acept affirmative action programs, increased welfare, a committment to reparations, and other Jesse Jacksonisms, then why bother to have a Republican Party to begin with. Are these the "unique issues" you speak of?
If Republicans really wish to address issues which impact the Black community disproportionately, then let's argue for less government support of illegitimate births; let's crack down on crime; let's establish tough educational standards and restore discipline to the schools; let's make it clear that certain standards are expected of every American and race is no excuse for living like a slackard.
Republicans believe that every one who is able should be helping to pull the wagon. Democrats promise free rides for some while others are made to pull harder.
So, RIGHT NOW, Republicans OWN the issues which really are "unique" (to use your very imprecise descriptor) to Black Americans and the solutions which would most help, and Blacks vote 94% Democrat.
You are way off base to say Republicans are arrogant. We must stick to our principles and let the Blacks who want to be Americans join the cause. Those who continue to refer to themselves as "Africans in America" will never get on board, nor should we invite them-- they simply don't have the same destination in mind that we do.
