    I will guess:Yes.
    What: You think illegals don't rob Black Americans of jobs or something? They Do
    Furthermore..They're not stupid.

    I explained it clearly. You misunderstand it either willfully or intrinsically. Republicans DO NOT pander for votes from the black community. Is it because they are so knowledgable and enlightened? Or do they just not think the opinions of black people are important to them? Maybe because the constituents they do pander to are hostile toward the black community? You've literally gave me nothing to defend against, sorry. :blankstare:

    The GOP doesn't appeal to voters by their race. Did you read the definition of pandering?

    Correct. It ignores them by their race. Which is more racist?

    :roll: The GOP doesn't appeal to voters by race. The GOP and it's rhetoric is "color-blind" - are you now going to tell me that treating everyone as people and ignoring their race is racist? :smile:

    You're trying to suggest that the GOP appeals to whites by their race and ignores blacks because of their race. CITATION NEEDED.

    An American supports one party or the other based upon individual preference.

    More Black, Hispanic, and Asian individuals clearly prefer the Democratic Party - thus the 89% White constituency of the Republican Party. (Only about 61% of Democrats are White.)

    It does not mean that most Republicans are racists, of course, but the racial homogeneity of the GOP makes it vulnerable to folks that are.

    This from RedState:

    This is a huge PR problem. People tend to simplify their politics into something black and white and have trouble differentiating the idea that most racists are conservative from the idea that most conservatives are racist.

    Like the conservative echo-chamber, the liberal echo-chamber strives to equate all members of an opposing political group with its most ridiculous members.

    Trump assumes everyone wants a job. A better job. A feeling of security. You'll have to explain how that is an anti-black message.

    The thing about the "color-blind" rhetoric is that it is just the opposite. It is discriminatory and color sensitive. What if I told you that I ignore money? I'm blind to the value of money. There is nothing related to money that you could exchange to me that is valuable. Solely, because...

    ...it's the only metric of identity that you understand.

    That is because money is not real. Now let's assume that you hold this concept of money dearly. Why do you keep bringing up the concept of money? I can take what I need when I need it. So can you. But you need to throw away that money. You didn't react fast enought, you're dead. What should you have done with that money? You're in prison, what for your trial. No bail for you because you were found with money on you when you were arrested, and your breath stinks. You and your money got you into this. :blankstare:

    Sometimes, when I feel that Karl Marx misunderstood the Division of Labor...you come along to explain why he was right. :blankstare:

    At least Karl Marx was truly race agnostic...he did predate it afterall. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
