Blacks Still Have A Negative View Of The GOP After Steele's Outreach - He Doesn't Connect With Their Grievances Over The Local Institutions Ran By Democrats

Steele falling behind on pledge to woo more minorities to GOP

Let me first state that the ultimate condition of Black America is irrelevant to our membership in a particular party that resides in the "American Political Domain".  If Blacks were to swing our loyalties to become 90% Republican - little would change and we might just see an exodus of bigoted Whites from the GOP as they return to the Democratic party to escape the "Party Of Blacks".  

Chicago and Detroit should provide enough evidence that even in places that are totally dominated by the Democratic Party, streaming from the municipal to the county to the state and now federal government - such an array does not assure prosperity in the attainment of our permanent interests despite the celebration often seen by Black people on election night eve.  Indeed the Democrats have won.  The question of "has the Black community won?" is so frequently left unanswered. 

I have yet to find a mainstream journalist or opinion writer who asks the proper line of questions regarding the issues surrounding the relationship between Blacks and Republicans.   So often the questions that appear are of the type:  "Why is it that the GOP is so unwelcoming to Blacks and what must the party do to change" or "Why is it that Black people choose to not vote for Republicans in pursuit of their interests?".   In both cases the question assumes that the GOP has a vested interest in "diversifying", changing whatever character that Blacks feel is repulsive about them.  No surprise - most of these changes would have them to become more like the party that Blacks find attractive - the Democrats.  The same Blacks who seek integrated schools, subdivisions, golf clubs, executive board rooms and judicial panels appear to have little interest in actively diversifying the political party that their conservative co-workers belong to. 

But wait - I thought that the goal of the Black political activism was to have improvements in our community recognized as the byproduct.    If we use this as our key point of evaluation a new set of questions would arise as part of our inspection.

• Why is it that the Black Establishment operatives - who are Democrat loyalists - keep pressing Black people to "Keep Trying Harder" to help Democrats win when the places where there is already total Democratic control have not assured that our Black interests are addressed?  (See Chicago, Detroit, Newark, etc)
• Why is it that 11% of White people in Alabama voting for candidate Barack Obama is evidence of their BIGOTRY yet 96% of Blacks nationwide voting for candidate Obama is a sign of, as Prof Manning Marabel says, "Black people recognize who has their best interests in mind"? 
• Why, if the GOP as a party was "fired" for the economic results that were rendered under the Bush Administration - the Democratic Party has actually grown in strength where Black people live despite decades of economic erosion and their failure to address the issues with our public schools?

The phenomenon of "Keeping your adversary on trial" has been mastered by those Blacks who are "Democrats who are Black" that operate in an untethered fashion within the protected space of our racial nucleus.  Regardless of how many "favorable people" come to power over the institutions that directly provide civic services to the Black community the continued shortfalls will be spun into the question - "Why haven't the EXTERNAL REPUBLICANS denied us assistance?  They could care less about our community's interests".  This indictment seems to trump the one that should be lumped upon the "favorable Democrats" that have control and have lead the community into a ditch.  They suffer no consequence regardless of the damage done.   

This indictment against the enemy was seen recently in Clayton County Georgia with regard to the Republican governor in the wake of the shutdown of the county's  C-TRAN bus service.   This county resource which shutdown due to insolvency became an indictment of the governor rather than the 100% Democratic county board which made the decision to shut the system down.  In addition they failed to submit paperwork to the federal government in a timely fashion that would have allowed the system to operate for several more months until the local sale tax increase that was approved by the state had kicked in.  The local power grab often comes with the disinclination to address the RESPONSIBILITY that comes along with the political seats in question.   All of these political institutions were provided with a charter from the state based on the assumption that they were solvent.  By collecting local taxes the people living within could provide a better standard of living for the people.  This concept appears to have been dismantled.  The local political powers retain their authority despite the fact that the institution is a hollow shell of itself.  Where is the notion of "dis-incorporation" upon insolvency and dependency upon the state?

In the article below from the Washington post "popularity numbers" are provided about the GOP.  Where is the measurement of the irony that the Black community continues to support the machine that already controls their institutions where the growth of the Democrats is purported to resolve the grievances that the community has over that which the Democrats control?

Progressive theory is rife with "Boil the Ocean" theory.  "Salvation resides over the horizon, as long as we stay united.".   There is a measure of unity that is had by adopting external enemies and constantly fighting against them.  The key problem that arises in having the Black Activism movement adopt a particular "permanent ideology" or "political vehicle" is that such an enforcement is a distortion of the management model that most properly defines the challenge.

• Permanent Interests - the foundation that defines the goals
• Methodology - The theories and beliefs that will accommodate these permanent interests (here is where the ideology of progressivism and conservatism reside)
• Vehicle - The political parties which are used to propel the movement forward reside here

As long as the inside powers are more committed to the "vehicle" or the "methodology" you should expect that there will be no cut and dry analysis as to the question of the group's successful attainment of their PERMANENT INTERESTS.   It would be like a scientist in a lab who aversion to using a certain set of tools available to him because of his present indoctrination yet he is dumbfounded as to why he is unable to find a cure.

The Black community needs an overlay force that displaces the present set of bigoted operatives who work on behalf of Democratic and Progressive interests.  The same indictments against "insider trading" that is waged against banks and corporations are present in regards to the brain trust that has dominate influence over our community's interests.

From The Article

In a recent Washington Post poll, 23 percent of non-white registered voters said they had favorable views of the Republican Party, compared with 72 percent who viewed the GOP unfavorably. Those numbers were similar to polls taken in 2008, before Steele took over as RNC chairman, when 28 percent of non-white voters had favorable views of the party and 67 percent unfavorable.
African Americans' views of the GOP have barely budged since Steele's tenure began: In Post-ABC News polls following Steele's becoming the GOP's first-ever party chairman, 78 percent of blacks say they view the GOP unfavorably, again virtually unchanged from two years earlier.
Beyond a handful of speeches by Steele before minority audiences, there is little evidence the GOP has launched an "off the hook" public relations offensive that would take the party to "urban-suburban hip-hop settings," as Steele promised in an interview with the Washington Times shortly after taking the RNC reins. Steele has made some high-profile moves to woo minority voters, most notably a speech in July to the NAACP.
