But it's hard to denounce something that you yourself believe to be true. Such as the lie that most African Americans want food stamps and welfare rather than work for a living.

Manny, The GOP's problem is that the racist perception held by most minorities of this party is continually validated by neocons with high visibility. The antics of Breitbart, statements made by Newt and Rick, the 47% comment made by Mitt, and many more that surfaced over the last two POTUS elections were instrumental in preserving a view of repubs as a party infested with racists and bigots. The GOP does not need the outreach projects nor any other phony attempts initiated to attract minorities. What's needed is for leadership to immediately and soundly condemn actions and quotes considered as racially offensive rather than gloss over these atrocities or just completely ignore such.

You're talking about state regulations controlled by CA. You people indicate that its federal regulations implemented by Washington that impedes businesses. Or is that just another repub lie in your attempt to tarnish dems?

Its your message that is the problem. You believe that most African Americans vote for dems because of getting welfare and food stamps. How utterly absurd and ridiculously ignorant. The truth is that blacks vote democratic in this day and age for one specific reason...to keep repubs out. Blacks do not view dems as saviors as cons would have you believe but repubs are so inslulting and racist in their statements and actions (such as this one) that any black person that votes repub can only be considered as a d---n fool.

Ken, Thanks for the dialogue that we have had that has not been filled with name-calling, willful lies, and innuendos as I usually face on TH. We disagree on many points but I do completely respect your viewpoints and where you are coming from.

Ken, As you know, the welfare queen and lazy black folks jargon are phenoms of the GOP far right lunacy. Concerning crack, the Reagan admin had more to do with the advent of this drug than Moynihan's prediction. Before you completely reject this statement, research Danilo Blandon, Ricky Ross, and their involvement with the CIA. You will find that Ricky Ross was $1M per week drug dealer who received his product through the CIA's contact with S American drug dealers. Crack began in LA and spread from there across the country. This is "real talk" and not some fabricated illusion based on partisan beliefs.

Bear, Kmassey asked this question earlier on this thread and it hasn't been answered yet. What entitlements did Obama promise to his voters? Do you mean Soc Sec benefits and medicare? Mitt and his bud wanted to make draconian changes to these programs and Obama campaigned on keeping the benefits. I guess most people didn't agree with you and Mitt. Otherwise, black folk voted democratic to keep the repubs out and not necessarily to vote the dems in. Big difference. Repubs are trusted less in the black community than dems. Dems are considered the lesser of two evils.
