I don't think Republicans know how to court the black vote. The nature of the question indicates that black issues are somewhat divergent from those of whites. That may be so, but that s the black view, and indeed the black problem. The best thing the GOP can do regarding blacks is to educate them to the benefits of self determination rather than governmental dependency. One constantly hears the argument that the GOP need to reach out to blacks, but what that means is the GOP must act more like Democrats.
Conservatives support a candidate because of an agreement with that candidate on some issue.
The vast majority of blacks support a candidate because of what that candidate promises to give to or do for them. Several years ago, locked in a tight race, North Carolina Senator Helms, long accused of being racist by the black leadership due to his fierce opposition to affirmative action, government set asides , quotas and most giveaway programs, employed several ads which led to accusations that he was using the race card . Some make that argument today as a blanket indictment of all Republicans with views similar to Helms. President Clinton actually visited a black elementary school and told the students that. Not one charge of racism was leveled.
