This is not about arguing. It is what it is. If the Republican Party wants Black voters, they should reach out, listen to what Blacks have to say. They did the same with Hispanics, particularly Reagan and Bush II. Why not do the same for Blacks?

So why did the Dem Obama Admin DOJ sue Louisiana in federal court for running their own schools the way they and their citizens want? Louisiana gave students vouchers. Obama's DOJ sued to stop them.

They've done that. 2/3 of adult Blacks support school vouchers. So do Republicans. There is nothing more indicative of one's future SES than one's K-12 education. Blacks intuitively know that, as they support vouchers, but then vote to ruin their own children's future by voting for the Democrats who insist on keeping Black children trapped and dumbed-down in abysmal public schools, and therefore poor and struggling for life.

STOP voting for your oppressors. Duh.

Now, if you feel that you can't go on,
All your HOPE for CHANGE is gone,
Life is filled with much confusion,
Happiness is just an illusion,
And your world is tumblin' down,

Darling, reach ouuuut.. ah huh.. darlin.. reach oouuuttt...

Obama will be there... to love and shelter you
Obama will be there... Obama will always see you throooough

Darling, reach ouuuut..

Try to change the rhetoric up a bit.

No they have not, not to the degree that they have done with Hispanic voters. I've even posted articles that have reported on how the Republican Party has not been keen on reaching Black voters, and yet, you keep ignoring it. Until you address that, we have nothing more to discuss.

Really? Prove it. You are assuming that all Blacks want are free stuff? If that is what you truly assume, I have nothing left to discuss with you. All it is showing on your part is a lack of logical thinking.

Wow. You cannot refute anything I've said, so your response is satire and illogical fallacies. That pretty much tells me the interest for any kind of sound dialogue on your part is pretty much non-existent. It pretty much tells me, that on your part, is venting anger and resentment towards Blacks.

Why should they be? Both Blacks and Republicans share the same values how to best educate our country's children, regardless of race. But Blacks can't get that giant chip off their shoulder, so they acquiesce time and time again to the Democrats' decades-long oppression.

Embrace the suck. You all vote for it.

The fact is, they haven't been. And I can show you articles where this has taken place. And yet, you have ignored them.

Even Rand Paul gets it, and that is why he is at least trying to reach out. He isn't going around promising freebies, he is actually reaching out, talking to African-Americans, listening to what they have to say. Maybe if more Republicans did that, then more Blacks would vote for them.

Rand Paul's pursuit of black voters splits GOP - Washington Times

Rand Paul: If GOP Gets 'A Clue', Black Voters Will Enter Fold in 2016


Bob Dole has even admitted that the GOP should reach out to Blacks more.

Reagan and Bush have both gone after the Hispanic vote. Why couldn't they do the same with Blacks? And furthermore, why do you keep ignoring that question?
