As far as blacks "memories of centuries of racism," very few black people I know were around centuries ago any more that very many Poles. One can't have memories of what happened before you existed except in dramatic arts expositions. I'm not into dramatic arts....It's equal opportunity regardless of race, creed, or anything else.

Setting slavery aside, the first century or so of freedom for blacks in America was an abomination. You don't have to be too many years past voting age to have lived at a time when opportunity for blacks wasn't equal.

Republicans need to acknowledge that fact (not assume any misplaced blame) if they hope to attract black voters to an agenda that provides equal opportunity far better than the Democratic alternative. RDB3 is right, you can't forget recent history.

That's all I'm saying. If I'm "asking" for anything, it's just that. But maybe some don't wish to attract, know what I mean?
