The Griot: How The GOP Can Win Blacks

"How The GOP can win Blacks"

The title, in and of itself is telling and lacks insight about where we as a people find ourselves.

Here is my response.

* Quality Education
* Safe Communities
* Thriving Local Economies
* Healthy Lifestyles

With all due respect Mr Johnson - you have it all WRONG.

You and others keep talking about things from the GOP PERSPECTIVE!! ie: "What must the GOP do to win the favor of Black people".

We need to switch back over the the BLACK PERSPECTIVE and make note of the fact that "DESPITE the present 100% domination of the Progressives and Democrats over every single Black majority voting district.......the Black Best Interests, as listed above, have STILL not been obtained in a satisfactory level".

When you ask "What must the GOP Do...." you are essentially crafting Black people as CONSUMERS. We will sit back and wait until someone markets a more effective solution to us. Until the "new and improved Tide comes along to make our clothes less dingy.....we will just keep using the Donkey brand and complain about the stains that remain".

I reject this.

The CHANGE that is needed is within the Black community. The goal of our political activism MUST BE the "Permanent Interests". The Democrats and Republicans are vehicles that purport to take us to this destination. Our people have confused the notion of "what is POPULARLY ASSUMED" to be the best way to obtain these best interests and what is PROVABLY SO per the key statistics that are rendered once their POLICIES are enacted.

I hope that the GOP does not DO A DAMNED THING to "change" in order to be more attractive to the Black voter. It is more interesting, instead, to inspect our community and see just how far we will go before DEMANDING that more of our PERMANENT INTERESTS actually get delivered via the vehicle that we are loaded up upon presently.

The question of "Why should a Black man vote for the Republicans" MUST change into "How do you justify keep doing what you are doing in such abundance when so many of the issues that were promised to be resolved REMAIN unsolved where this favored ideology is dominate?"
