Commentary
By Frances Rice
Contrary to the false narrative promoted by Democrats and
their media allies, Republicans conduct serious efforts to cultivate black
voters.
These actions are either ignored or demonized by white liberals in the
mainstream media and echoed in the black press. A prime example is the below
article by Raynard Jackson.
Note how, after repeating the false narrative about
Republicans, Jackson exposes the reasons why the loyalty black Americans give
to the Democratic Party is unfounded.
Further below are articles which show how President
Donald Trump is taking actions to connect with black voters.

The
Democrat Party Is Talking Loud But Saying Nothing
By Raynard Jackson
Last week I had a very long conversation with a good
friend of mine who is one of the top Black Democrat operatives in the
country.
They operate at the highest levels of the national Democrat
Party.
She said to me that she is constantly amazed that
the Republican Party does
not make a serious effort to cultivate substantive relationships with the Black
voter. According to her, “Blacks are constantly being pissed on by
the Democrat Party. White liberal elites are the most racist people
on Earth and really don’t give a damn about the Black
community. Why, she asked me, don’t the Republicans go after this
disaffected part of the Democrat base? It’s low hanging fruit.”
Those who have followed my columns through the years know
that I have been writing about this issue for many years. Blacks are
no longer enamored with the Democrat Party, they just don’t see the
Republican Party as a viable alternative.
As one of my Republicans buddies put it, Blacks agree
with the Republican message; they just don’t like the Republican Party! I
couldn’t have said it any better.
Everyone one concedes that Black women are responsible
for Democrats retaking the U.S. House of Representatives in
2018. Everyone concedes that the Black vote is the singular reason
Joe Biden is leading the presidential primary in the Democrat
Party. Everyone concedes that Blacks are the most loyal voting block
for the Democrat Party during the past fifty years.
So how do the Democrats reward the Black community?
They want to make those in U.S. illegally to be eligible
for the coronavirus stimulus package. They want to legalize the more
than 30 million illegals in the country to compete with low and under skilled
Blacks in the labor force. They want to continue to fund Murder
Inc., er, I mean Planned Parenthood to do the work law enforcement can’t
do to kill off the Black community.
They want to continue to sacrifice poor Black kids to
non-performing public schools as a payoff to the teacher’s
union. They want to release illegals from prison under the guise of
protecting them from the coronavirus; but make no mention of releasing Blacks
who are U.S. citizens from jail.
The first rule of politics is to reward your friends and
punish your enemies. You learn that in political nursery school.
So why is it that the Democrats always seem to reward
everyone else in the Democrat base but Blacks? Well, the answer is
quite simple; because Blacks allow them to get away with it.
Blacks give the Democrats over 90% of their vote during
presidential elections; but no one in their right mind will say that the Black
community has been appropriately rewarded for their strong support.
I constantly tell Republicans that the N.A.A.C.P., the
National Urban League, the Congressional Black Caucus, do not represent the
Black community; they represent their membership. There is a big
difference between the two.
Most Blacks are not a part of nor do they support these
groups. These groups have willingly sold themselves to the radical
liberal elites of the Democrat Party. They have willingly made the
agendas of groups like the radical pro homosexual Human Rights Campaign,
Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, Think Progress, Open Society Foundations,
Greenpeace, Amnesty International, and ACORN their agenda.
White feminists and white homosexual organizations have
used prominent Black people and their voices to become the face of their
radical agendas; thus, allowing them to falsely call their agendas part of the
“civil rights” movement.
Thus, you constantly see the marginalization and
feminization of the Black male on TV, in the movies, and in Hip
Hop. If you destroy the Black male, the women will fall in line!
This is antithetical to values of the rank and file
within the Black community. The Black community from time
immemorial, has been led by a strong Black male; yes, even going all the way
back to Africa.
The Black community has always been built upon a strong
belief in God, a strong male presence, and a strong nurturing
mother. Upon this rock has the Black community been built and the
gates of radical liberalism shall not prevail against it.
So, everything the Democrat Party stands for goes against
the very DNA of the Black community.
But until the Republican Party provides itself as a
viable option to the Black community, we will continue to align ourselves with
the party that makes us feel good; versus the party that can do us the most
good.

GAME CHANGER: Trump Opens 15 “Black Voices
for Trump” Offices in Six Swing States
By Jim Hoft
The Trump campaign announced
they will open 15 “Black Voices for Trump”
offices in African American communities in six swing states.
The campaign plans to open 15
field offices, which they’re calling “community centers”: five in Florida,
three in North Carolina, two each in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and one each in
Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin.

TRUMP
AGGRESSIVELY COURTING BLACK VOTES
By JOHN
HINDERAKER | POWERLINE
Great news from the Washington
Examiner:
President Trump is opening 15 urban campaign
field offices in an aggressive bid to improve his performance with black
voters, who for decades have been an overwhelmingly Democratic constituency.
Sleek and situated in retail shopping
districts to generate foot traffic, this unique collection of regional
“community centers” is a critical component of the Trump campaign’s
multimillion-dollar strategy to double in 2020 the 8% support the president
received from black voters nearly four years ago.
Where will these “community centers” be?
Five offices are slated for Florida:
Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, and Miami. In North Carolina,
branches are opening in Charlotte, Raleigh, and Greensboro. Others will be
located in Atlanta, Detroit, Columbus, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and
Milwaukee.
President Trump has good rapport with African-Americans, who
in general are not enthused about the current crop of Democratic candidates.
Jared Kushner makes a fundamental point:
“You’re never going to get the votes you
don’t ask for,” said Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and close adviser. “Last
time, it was, ‘What the hell do you have to lose?’ Now, we’re going to show
them what they’ve gained from President Trump and what more they can gain if
they get four more years.”
The Examiner quotes Trump campaign sources to the effect that
the president is already polling around 20% among blacks.
President Trump held a conference with Black
Voices for Trump leaders in the White House and in January, hosted a Martin
Luther King Jr. Celebration to honor the life and legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr., and the transformation of the Black community since the civil
rights movement. The celebratory event was held in Raleigh, North Carolina,
with more than 120 people in attendance. The event was led by Coalition
Advisory Board Members Robin Armstrong, Clarence Henderson, and Diamond &
Silk.
The Democrats’ reaction to all of this is entertaining:
Josh Schwerin, a spokesman for Priorities
USA…seemed less concerned that Trump could boost black support than that his
campaign and other Republicans would commit what he regards as “suppression” of
the black vote — either through legislation in the states or subversive
messaging that demonizes the eventual Democratic nominee.
Subversive messaging? We can’t have that! And wouldn’t it
be awful if a presidential nominee were demonized?
In my opinion, the most important single thing the Trump
campaign can do between now and November is to campaign aggressively for
black votes.
