Not issues republicans are interested in. Not when your party and people like you spend time defending an idiot like Candice Owens.Yeah ā¦ you aren't ready to escape the Dem Plantation.Mainly because they offer whites things and try taking things from blacks. You are wrong about democrats and your opinion is what the black conservatives in the OP is talking about. As long as you talk like this, you can forget about blacks becoming republicans. Your observation is wrong because those cities are run by democrats because republicans run and lose. You talk about cities while I live in a state ruined by republican policies.Why should they offer them anything at all?...What have Republicans offered black communities other than prisons ?
Democrats are no better in their treatment of Blacks... they're just more subtle about it than their Republican counterparts.
" Vote Democrat !!! Come out and vote !!! We need you !!! Strength in numbers !!! "
And then the inner-city urban-plantation Black Folk vote (D) just like they were told to do.
And, once the Dems win, they go on their way, and ignore the Black folk for another four years, until they need 'em again at the polls.
Oh, Dems will "offer" ( lure / bribe ) Blacks with a few more goodies, but that just increases the Terrible Dependency in the long run.
One need look no further than any large-scale city controlled for decades by Democrats to know the profound truth of that observation.
"It looks like conservatives talking about blacks as people deserving of dignity instead of treating them as mentally inferior. It means seeing them as fellow Americans instead of slaves on a fictional plantation. It means emphasizing truth over narrative and seeking a genuine understanding of those we wish to reach instead of relying on lazy stereotypes and meaningless platitudes."

"We favor an approach that involves up-close conversation and discourse instead of the mindless repeating of banal platitudes about Chicagoās homicide rates from a distance."

The Rise of a New Black Conservative Movement
There is a new breed of black conservatives coming to the forefront, and they are not your typical establishment black conservatives.www.redstate.com
"Conservatives have been saying that black Democrats are slaves on the Democratic plantation since the ā60s. It was off-putting then, and itās off-putting now. The GOP has refused to develop a viable strategy to reach black voters and other minorities. Since the ā60s, they have surrendered the black voter to the left while convincing their members to believe blacks donāt vote for Republicans because they just want āfree stuff.ā Yes, thatās yet another stereotype that should be debunked. We wish to see this change. "

Why wouldn't any self-respecting black person want to become a Republican? Someone doesn't have to be a Rhodes scholar to figure out what President Trump has done for black folks, compared to how little Obama and the Democrat party has done for them.
Under Obama, black unemployment went to record levels. New black-owned businesses were down, food stamp usage and welfare skyrocketed, fewer blacks bought land or houses, and there was an abnormally-high amount of unrest in the black communities. There were riots where black-owned businesses and homes were burned to the ground, as in the Ferguson and Milwaukee riots.
President Trump on the other hand, enacted a justice reform program that freed black folks who were incarcerated for no other reason than being black. The black and Hispanic unemployment rate was the lowest since the government started to record that data in 1972.
Food stamp usage and welfare dropped significantly in the black community, and many African-Americans were opening new businesses and buying homes.
Trump has done nothing for blacks. Due to Bush black unemployment went to record levels. New black-owned businesses were down, food stamp usage and welfare skyrocketed, fewer blacks bought land or houses, and there was an abnormally-high amount of unrest in the black communities . Obama inherited that dead economy.
Ferguson happened because a white prosecuting attorney refused to indict a white policeman that murdered a black teenager in cold blood. Black unrest was no higher during Obama than at any other time. Whites are the ones that had the problem.
Corey Booker wrote, sponsored, advocated for and helped get p assed the justice reform bill while the trump DOJ ended consent decrees made to reduce racism in police department and his administration is gutting the civil rights department while relaxing civil rights policies. These reductions you talk about were he result of Obamas policies, bot trumps..
Donald Trump has often been described as a man who was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple. This is mostly because he boasts endlessly about a fortune he built even though he inherited millions from his successful father. But itās also a pretty good description of how Trump talks about the economy.
Take his recent comments about joblessness among African-Americans. Over the weekend, Trump celebrated the fact that the official unemployment rate among blacks had fallen to 6.8 percent, a record low. āI am so happy about this News!ā he tweeted. Trump then picked up the theme again this morning, apparently after watching a fawning Fox & Friends segment that declared āAfrican Americans and Hispanics are officially doing better with [Trump] than under President Obama.ā
There are a few funny things about this. First, Trump and his favorite morning show have built a remarkably efficient echo chamber. The president tweets a talking point. Fox runs a segment affirming it. Then Trump tweets about it some more. Itās an ouroboros of inanity.
Itās also amusing to see Trump crowing about the official unemployment rate, after spending his entire presidential campaign calling it a āfiction.ā
But the bigger issue here is that, much like virtually every other improvement in the labor market over the past year, the employment gains blacks and Hispanics have seen are mostly just a continuation of steady trends that well predate Trump. Joblessness among minorities has been on the decline for the better part of eight years. Thatās in part because a black president spent the first years of his terms trying to save a mortally injured economy. Now Trump seems to think black voters will forget all of that work.

Maybe it's time for you to stop being a right wing serf.
So I will ask again. What issues do you think are important to Black voters? This is your chance to educate us stupid white folk.![]()
I am sincerely asking you to educate me. What political issues of the Dim party speak to you. Gay marriage? Free Healthcare for illegal aliens? Global Warming? Those all seem real important to the Black Community.
