The GOP search for black votes Is their equivalent of searching for the fountain of youth.

I once asked a few GOP campaign managers at CPAC If they could think of an example where the Republicans won an election on the backs of black Americans. Not a single person could think of an example and there were some old guys in the group.

Every damn election cycle we do the same logic: “If only we get X amount of the black vote we are sure win” and every single time we come up short. We are dealing with a black population that is so easily influenced by popular culture That they will burn their own cities down For faux outrage that could be debunked in five minutes.

The hunt for the black vote is one of the most inefficient campaign tactics that gets pushed, everyone knows it’s bullshit, but it feels so good and it’s so easy to sell to naive candidates
