Fear of blacks in southern cities and towns that were 60% or 70% black was common in the 20th century. Keeping blacks in their place was considered a safety issue. I'm sure some of that feeling exist today and it's there to be exploited.
7 Ways Republicans Use Slavery Rhetoric to Scare White People
Republicans routinely use the theme of slavery, framed within an old Southern fear of retribution against whites.

Laugh as they may, Republicans suffer from a demographic problem
They have lost the black vote and gays forever
The Hispanic vote with strong Christian and family values was once theirs for the taking. But they pissed it away to pander to the radical right. They took 27% in the last election
By blocking immigration reform, they will get even less in 2016
Drop below 25% and you will risk losing Florida, Arizona and Texas. Do that and you will never elect another Republican President
Whitehall, the demographics aren't shifting away from the dems.
I know this is hard for you, but that's the point.
The GOP far right is forcing the party to suicide itself.
And that is why the GOP mainstream stomped the TP into the mud this primary system.
That's only stopping the bleeding. Next the GOP needs to go after women and minorities.
I think the Republican Party as we now know it is doomed. They can blame the media, free stuff, crooked elections or whatever. But until they hit rock bottom they will not change. By the time they hit rock bottom they will have lost a generation of voters
Here's a couple of things not in your statistics. At the current rate of increase of the minorities, they will become the majority by 2050. Also minorities tend to block vote. This is not good news for Republicans because the issues that they favor, the minorities don't.Geeze louise are you putting up another thread on this bullshit again?

That is a key problem for Republicans. To court minorities, would be interpreted by much of the party as support for issues that Republicans strongly oppose. In a way democrats have the same type problem. If democrats reached out to traditional Republican strongholds like christian conservatives or gun owners, they would be blasted by the party. I think it all boils down to polarization. There are so few liberal republicans or conservative democrats, any meaningful compromise is very difficult.Here's a couple of things not in your statistics.

dont be to sure about that...Hispanics agree with the Republicans on a lot more than what you may think.....but the way many Republicans talk about them,they are not to inclined to side with them.....so they go with the "lessor of 2 evils" the Democrats.....and they know that they are looked at by them as votes,not people....as they take over the party....that will change,as well as the party itself....
