It isn't about demographics and voting. It is essentially "how is it your business who Blacks vote for"? and "if you care so much, what are you going to do about it"?

I have grown more and more independent in my political views. I don't identify with one particular political party. This being said, I get very tired of hearing about "Blacks vote Democrat and we don't like it". I get very fed up with the constant complaining in regards to who Blacks vote for.

This is the way I see it. There is so much griping about African-Americans voting Democrat. And yet, I don't exactly see Republicans trying to reach out to African-Americans. I've seen very little outreach towards African-Americans.

Want black votes, GOP? Listen to black voters - CNN.com

Why Republicans have a lot to gain from reaching out to African Americans - The Washington Post

As Senate vet Dole celebrates 90 years, he laments tone in Capitol - CNN.com

A quote from Bob Dole. This is what he had to say as far as outreach in the Republican Party: ""I believe we ought to be reaching out to the Hispanic community, the black community and of course the middle- and upper-class community across the board, and we haven't done that,". A Republican is saying more needs to be done on the part of the Republican Party to reach out to Blacks.

If there is not going to be much effort to bring Blacks into the Republican fold, then there should not be any complaining about Blacks voting Democrat. It is not anyone's business who you vote for.

The Republicans need to forget about black voters. They are close minded and a waste of time and resources. When someone's beginning reference point is "You are a racist and hate me," then there's no point in reaching out to that voter. That voter is not persuadable. The Reupblicans are wiser to work on their base, which is white working families and other minorities with similar cultural values, like Asians, Cubans and Indian/near East/African/Caribbean/European immigrant populations.

If that is how you feel, then this is my response. No more complaining about the way Blacks vote. No more. Complaining about how Black people vote, and then saying "Republicans need to forget about Black voters" is basically like complaining about your steak being undercooked, and then responding by turning off the fire.

And by the way, I disagree with your sentiment. This is why.

I noticed you failed to even mention anything said the links in my last post. Here is one of them. The problem is not the Black Americans are close-minded. The problem is comments and attitudes such as what I have seen from you in this post. You have a Black radio host who invited White Republicans to his show. None show up. He could getting Black Republicans on his show. In fact, it has even been shown that when Republican candidates actually sit down, and listen to what Black voters have to say rather than talking down to them, they would actually make more progress.

their base is only capable of proucing under 200 electoral votes. Newsflash: It takes 270 to win.

Mitt Romney won the same % of the white vote as Reagan did in 1984. Notice the different results, by a landslide. America changed; the old , white male crowd will not get you into the Oval Office in the 21st century..except as a visitor.
