This would not have been an issue if this had been dealt with in 2004 or 1984.

He's playing the role of the paternalistic white man that feels it's within his purview to call the black man on the carpet to account for his decisions.

They can't do it off the internet, so they do it here.

And that's just how it's gonna be. And there's nothing you can do about it.

Until you make drastic changes to that race baiting, anti black party, we aren't going anywhere near it.
You just described the democrats.

Easy win in 2016 for Hilary.
At only 14% of the population, and a small minority of that minority voting, it doesn't matter.

Look at the mess she'll inherit! Will that blame game work?

Basically, it is the idea of "Blacks can't do anything for themselves" kind of deal. I've sensed it all along. However, I never really could put my finger on it.

This is how I feel about it. I've posted articles about what the GOP could do if they were really interested in getting the Black vote. One of the solutions is to listen to Black voters. I have something more to add to that. Don't come at Black people in a paternalistic mindset. It's a turnoff. It basically says "Blacks can't do for themselves because they don't have the ability". Come at us like that, and one shall be prepared to be turned away. There are many who will accuse Democrats of doing so. Can it be said that Republicans haven't done this?

I posted the article numerous times. And numerous times, no one is interested in reading it.

Independents vote Rep or Dem, depending on the candidate. These swing voters really decide elections and are the most influencial voters in presidential elections. Issues, not party, matter to them.
If party affiliation were left out of the ballot box, the dems would be the small minority that they should be.

True conservatives want to get people on their feet and off of the government plantation. Blacks scream racism about that....you know "oh....the women and children!" That rev al and Jesse stir up, as well as the white leftie slave masters like Reid and pelosi.

You don't understand what I am saying because you don't know why I am referring to 2012. It's in the article. There are specific things that Obama did not do in 2012 that would have helped this issue not become so bad.
