These topics just bring out the racial stereotyping why don't you just use the search button? These guys think blacks are leeches, nothing will change their thought process, debating it doesn't make any sense.
Because black people feel uncomfortable and a little out of place at ; The Republican convention, Tractor Pulls, The Country Club Golf Course, Farm Shows, Gun Shows, Live Stock Auctions, country and Bluegrass concerts, Bars that only sell Beer, and other places lots of Republicans gather.

i feel uncomfortable where there are lots of whites period. i need at least some mix in the room.
Republicans don't really care for minorities or the poor, if they did blacks would probably vote conservative because most of them are when it comes to religion ,morals etc
You are 100% correct. I don't care the least bit about minorities because I don't care what color anyone is. It's their actions that matter to me. I don't care about the able bodied poor either. If someone can get a job, any job at all, then with hard work you can get by.
I do care about the disabled poor. If I weren't taxed out the wazoo, I would donate to those charities. But right now, my extra income is going to pay taxes and letting the .gov distribute the money to who THEY want to give it to.

I feel uncomfortable the few times I've been to a country club and I'm the whitest guy I know.
But any of the places you mention shouldn't make any minority feel uncomfortable. In fact, I've seen black families at a horse show not only feel comfortable but be proud to be showing their Tennessee Walkers. It wasn't one or two people but multi-generational families there. The younger kids (black and white) all played together. When the shows started, everyone sat in the stands together. No group of people stayed to themselves. Finally, one of the winning horses was owned and ridden by a black man and he received the same amount of applause as the white winners. I really feel uncomfortable writing black/white because it didn't matter to anyone there. Everyone was there for a common event and the camaraderie was evident among both the participants and the spectators.
Same with the gun shows/gun ranges. Again, we are there for a common purpose and I don't care what color the guy next to me is.
Bars that only sell beer? I know a lot of black guys that are beer drinkers.
Quick story. A few years ago, my wife and I attended a college reunion of my fraternity. It was banquet room in a very nice hotel with a bar and a DJ. The problem was the DJ though. As the evening wore on and his song selection deteriorated, the attendees in our room were slowly leaving. Turns out they were going to a black family reunion in the banquet room across the hall. My wife and I went over there and had the best time. The DJ was great and everyone was dancing together.

Racial stereotyping? There is nothing wrong with discussing major trends in politics today, and my OP was in no way baiting anyone or meant to be offensive. Just go away, please. I'm not interested in name-calling or skirting around the question. This post has generated a lot of helpful replies for me to understand why blacks continue voting for Democrats, and your post adds nothing to the discussion.

But to play devil's advocate: how exactly have Dem economic policies helped blacks, especially since they began in the 1960s?
