You can get elected to Congress without ever talking to black voters at all, and I think that's bad for the party.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you are a Democrat, and you get less than 90% of the black vote, you are going to likely lose your election.
The Republican Party just isn't held in high repute in the black community. Under Bill Brock we were reaching out to broaden the base of the party. We have to go back to that.
The establishment wonders why we can't get more of the black vote. It's because it's not doing the things necessary to establish a deeper relationship with the black community. Most black people don't think alike. Most black people just vote alike.
Democrats don't understand what is wrong in the black community or how to fix it. If they do, they don't care.
I feel there should be blacks in every Party.
Since almost all Negroes are workers, live on wages, and suffer from the high cost of food, clothing and shelter, it is obvious that the Republican and Democratic Parties are opposed to their interests.
But I know that the vote of 9 out of 10 black Americans for the Democratic Party or for leftist kinds of policies just is not reflective of their opinions.
Republicans think that the NAACP is the only voice in the black community. It is a voice in the black community. But it's not the only voice.
In my wildest dreams, I never would have thought we'd come to the point where were talking about the re-election of a black president.
I want everybody to understand that I am an American Negro first before I am a member of any political party.
