"Minority Outreach" Don't Mean A Punch In The Nose

 Take one liberal white guy with no black friends, give him the race problem to study - add sugar, stir - and what did he get?

Why do you think Republican critiques of race generally fail?


When Republicans talk about race, they never acknowledge their own role in fighting integration in the suburbs, in stopping housing integration, and how they exploited fears of racial violence [to] win elections,...They never acknowledge their own failings and concede, “Look, we screwed this up but we want to start over,...." In order to do that, you have to first admit to black America, “We want to change.”

Are there any Republican critiques of Democrats on race that you think are valid?


There is a great deal of taking the black vote for granted on the Democratic side,...A fair criticism is to say, “Hey, the Democrats are taking you guys for granted, and you really should be considering some other options.” But do Republicans say it that way? No, they come out with “You’re brainwashed on the liberal plantation.” So of course that shuts down any intelligent discussion,...

Yep - that's what my mirroring shows:

Shutting down intelligent conversation (or the government) and getting their individual yah-yah's out seems to be the conservative's entire reason for existence these days.

It's most definitely not winning elections,...
