Very good point, so what is your answer to this? I believe it is because middle class working blacks still believe Republicans are all racists, which they are not. But the liberal MSM and Dems in general keep trying to perpetuate the republican-as-racist stereotype by dragging up some white racist hillbilly and recycling it over and over.
If you hold this believe you are seriously misinformed. The Republican Party will never a substantial number of black voters because of these misconceptions.

I even fell for their stereotyping of the tea party as racists until I watched Fox News which kept interviewing black conservatives disputing that stereotype. So, I don't think black middle class gets much of the other side's story. Just my opinion, but would like to hear if it at all rings true for you.
Hahaha! Are you living in a dream world? Every member of the Tea Party isn't racist but there are quite a bit of racists amongst their members and leadership. And no matter how many black puppet men are paraded through the conservative media the racist perception of the Tea Party isn't going to change...
I was speaking about the below statement not taxes. Follow along now...

Lol...what the hell would YOU know about earning wealth?
Seriously? I was born into a blue collar non-union family. I started out at a minimum wage job in high school and have subsequently earned/saved/invested every penny I have. If I can do it, so can anyone else.
My means and methods of doing so echo the findings in The Millionaire Next Door. Ask anyone else who worked their way up from very little to higher levels of income and/or wealth how they did it. They'll likely tell you much the same.
They expect them to EARN their income/wealth, just like everyone else.
The idea that Blacks only vote for Democrats for "free money" is a fallacy because most Blacks who do vote actually work. While Blacks have higher unemployment rates than anyone else, the majority of Blacks work and earn their keep. They aren't looking for free money. The majority of Black voters voted Democrat in this past election. If the majority of Blacks work, are not on welfare, and also vote Democrat, then "free money is not the reason".
Please answer this for me. Alot of Black people work, and earn their keep. Why do most Blacks, working or not, vote Democrat? Please think about that. Making the assumptions(fallacious ones at that) that the only reason Blacks vote Democrat is to get free money isn't going to make Black people want to vote Republican. Telling Blacks "demand money, not welfare" isn't going to appeal to a Black person who already is working. Rick Santorum's comments aren't going to appeal to Black working people. I'm not saying the Democrats are doing much good for Blacks. What I'm saying is that so far, alot of Black people feel the Republican Party doesn't care about them at all. Why do you think that is, considering that the whole "free money"/"welfare queen" stuff only applies to a small part of the Black population?

Based on your previous statement you personally singled out blacks as not being able to do so... Contradiction after contradiction...
This is just one reason out of many examples why black folk will no time soon vote in any significant numbers for the Republican party...

I'm a bit surprised you would call minorities such as Dr.Carson, Cain, Rice, Rubio, Cruz, Alberto Gonzales, Jindal among scores of other prominent Republicans "puppet men". They are certainly very successful people.

Yeah, you and everyone else on C-D. Everyone is perfect, everyone is rich and followed the Warren Buffett method and has an Horatio Alger story to tell.
Only part you left out is walking barefoot in the snow uphill in both directions.
Your anecdotal observations are far from what is acutally happeining. I could say that I observe the exact opposite...so you are wrong.
The OP sounds right from when I lived in MD although well-off feds vote their paycheck - Democrat - black or white.
