Perhaps some don't know that until 1933 African-Americans were among the most loyal Republican voters. They even voted for Herbert Hoover in the 1932 landslide victory of FDR, then turned the page and became strong Democrats over the next four generations. The Republicans blew it when they started talking in ways that were interpreted as being less than concerned about black people and we have been paying the price since.This election saw black males make deep inroads into the GOP and the aim is keep working hard to make this movement more than a trickle but instead a hurricane. Unfortunately, we aren't making much hay with African-American women and that is going to be a tough haul for us Republicans to over come. |
