										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While the Hillary campaign and her media is in meltdown mode by the growing desertion of her black base, the Republican Party shouldn’t be patting themselves on their backs for receiving new voters who can help put Donald Trump over the top.</p>
<p>Donald Trump is attracting black voters precisely because he’s not afraid to talk to blacks, appeal for their votes, and most important: he’s never been afraid to be seen with us and has reached out, not with an outreach plan for appearances sake, but with six words: <strong>“What do you have to lose?”</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UpVVjfMHyQg" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p></blockquote>
<p>Take a look at the makeup of any Republican and/or conservative group and you’ll see very few black people. Now, I’m not saying conservatives are inherently racist, but I am saying some use the few blacks they DO have on the roster as props to show how much they aren’t.</p>
<p>If you look back on Donald Trump’s history, especially as a melting-pot New Yorker, he’s been around black people more than any conservative “leader” you can name today, and whether you like some of the blacks he’s been around or not, the fact is he’s been around those who tend to be very good at what they do.</p>

<p>So when we hear certain #NeverTrump conservatives lamenting the erosion of the so-called purity of “principles”, is it really because they despise Trump that much or is it also because of those he’s bringing into the Party?</p>

Go to any network television or radio lobby and you’ll see almost all security guards are black. Take the elevator upstairs where the higher salary production jobs are and you’ll see very few <em>(if any)</em> black people.</p>
<p>When they can point a finger elsewhere, liberals will call meager black hiring on the right as proof of traditional racism. However what they’ll never admit is <em>(thanks to the substandard education Democrats condemn most blacks to)</em> few are equipped to apply for the higher-pay, upstairs jobs so the reason there may be “few if any execs in Donald Trump’s empire” is that few have physically applied.</p>
<p>Donald Trump&#8217;s association is nothing new.</p>

Despite the vocal admonitions of loudmouthed, liberal halfrican Americans trying to prove their blackness, Donald Trump is winning over blacks because unlike Democrats, he’s not making the same ol’ promises made every two-to-four years. Unlike the left, he knows he will be held accountable and what’s refreshing is knowing he takes his promises seriously.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2000, blacks faced a dilemma. Activists and Democrat politicians accused Republicans of racism. Over 90% of blacks voted for Democrats. But after the heated presidential election, Republicans controlled all three branches of government. In other words, blacks essentially had no political influence within the federal government.</p>
<p>After years of calling Republicans racists without less than a sliver of evidence to back it up, blacks demanded that the Republican Party reach out to them! Talk about nerve.</p>
<p>Ten years later, blacks find themselves on the same corner. After constant, baseless charges of racism, fourteen black Republican congressional candidates are making a game of it and many may actually win. The question is, how will this affect the Republican Party’s image in the black community?</p>
<p>Not much, seeing how many of these black Republicans will win in majority-white districts. What should the GOP do about it? If I were chair of the Republican National Committee, I’d say fuhgeddaboudit.</p>
<p>I’ll venture to say that most black Republicans weren’t born that way. It took some life-altering revelation and a good amount of cojones to put oneself into the pariah column. Remember, blacks may be the only group in this country not allowed to have a diversity of political opinion. It’s Democrat or be damned. If you become a Republican, you can (and will) be ostracized by friends and family and be called racist names by the political left with impunity.</p>
<p>For that reason, GOP “outreach” in the black community is an exercise in futility that also puts the Republican Party in a position of weakness. Why would you be expected to reach out to a group that has consistently maligned your character?</p>
<p>One has to go through a kind of spiritual conversion to embrace Republicanism, because black Democrats have been trained to expect a promised entitlement in return for their support. While Democrats have gotten reelected by blacks with promises undelivered, I would hope the GOP would never resort to such pandering and make liberal-style promises to blacks they’d never offer any other Republican.</p>
<p>Let’s keep this in mind: almost every elected office in almost every black district in the United States is held by a Democrat. If Democrats are so great, the black community should be a utopia. Instead, it’s rampant with crime, poor schools, high unemployment, and the liberal message that unless you can rap or play basketball, you won’t amount to anything in racist America. So, here’s a check. Vote for us.</p>
<p>Let’s hope the Republican Party doesn’t try to top that.</p>
<p>Liberals know that if that 90% of black support dropped to (let’s say) 70%, Democrats would be in deep trouble when it came to most federal and presidential elections. Thus, keeping blacks on what we call the Democrat Plantation is a matter of party survival for Democrats.</p>
<p>Until black people jettison the politicians and activists who thrive (and profit) on keeping them down, an overture from the Republican Party will be met with the standard ridicule and futility. The black embrace of the GOP is something blacks themselves have to want by accepting Republican values as they are.</p>
<p>That won’t happen on November 2nd.</p>
