Republican Group Chides Democrats With Abortion Ads

Submitted by Natalie, Oct 26, 2006 13:48

I find it funny that Republicans cannot understand why they cannot get black votes. The evidence is quite clear in most of these ads. Frankly when you treat a racial minority as a monolith and assume that all black or african americans are down with ebonics, refer to all white people as "crackers" and women as "hoes", how can they possibly expect the community to react positively? I hardly think that they would run a race ad for whites using the word "nigger or nigra" and expect very many CONSERVATIVE whites to not be offended. For years I have been explaining that Black Americans (and I am Black from an upper middle class background) tend to have more socially conservative views than their white liberal counterparts,and that the republican party has not yet figured out how to sway them into their camp. I see by these ads that they STILL have not figured it out!
