Two More Black DemocRAT Politicians See The Light And Join The
Republican Party; LibLoons On Suicide Watch
Anyone who doubts that the Republican Party can attract black voters
need only look south to Louisiana.
At a conference held in Baton Rouge at the end of May, called @Large
and aimed to attract black conservatives, a black Democratic member of
the Louisiana
Legislature, Elbert Guillary, announced that he was switching parties
and becoming a Republican.
Less than two weeks later, just up the road in Central City, La.,
black Democrat city Councilman Ralph Washington, who attended this
same @Large conference,
made the same announcement – he’s becoming a Republican.
It’s really not such a mystery. The mystery is why this is not
happening more often.
I’m asked all the time why, when it is so clear that blacks are
damaged by the left-wing political agenda, why black voters so
uniformly and consistently support
candidates – Democrats – who advance this agenda.
My answer is that Republicans need to start acting more like the
businesspeople they claim to be.
Any businessman who is convinced that his product is the best does not
blame customers if they are not buying it. They double down on their
efforts to understand
these potential customers better and how to sell to them.
There needs to be more appreciation of the differences in the black
population.
A Gallup poll done in 2011 showed that whereas 39 percent of whites
say they are “very religious,” 53 percent of blacks do. A large
percentage of “very religious”
blacks are conservative and very different from blacks on the left who
identify with the NAACP.
The @Large conference, where I was a speaker, was hosted by Pastor
C.L. Bryant, who tells his own story about leaving the left-wing black
establishment in his
new film, “Runaway Slave.”
Bryant was president of the NAACP chapter in Garland, Texas. But his
relationship with the NAACP soured when he refused to speak at a
Planned Parenthood
pro-abortion event.
His eyes began to open and see that his traditional Christian values –
protecting the unborn, promoting traditional family, individual
freedom and dignity – were out of
whack with the political agenda blacks were automatically signing
onto.
Elbert Guillary is now the first black Republican in the Louisiana
Legislature since Reconstruction.
Listen to him to understand why a conservative black leaves the
Democratic Party.
He called the Democrats “the party of disappointment” and expressed
disillusionment with Democratic policies on abortion, gun control,
education and immigration.
Democrats “have moved away from the traditional values of most
Americans,” he said. “Their policies have encouraged high teen birth
rates, high high school
dropout rates, high incarceration rates and very high unemployment
rates.”
Or listen to now-Republican Councilman Washington:
“… the value system I was raised up with, it really doesn’t side with
the Democrats. … Some of the things I see happening today, with the
entitlement programs, we
have to change. We can’t continue doing the things we are doing and
survive.”
Everyone understands that black American history is unique and
complicated.
But wallowing in the past is never an answer to anyone’s personal
challenges.
The challenge is clarifying right from wrong and acting accordingly
going forward.
It has always seemed pretty clear to me that traditional values and
personal freedom and responsibility must be the agenda moving forward
for every American of
every background.
Black Americans, like every American, need less taxes taken out of
their paycheck, need to be able to choose where to send their child to
school, need to be able to
pick freely a health-care plan that suits their needs, and need to
save for retirement instead of paying payroll taxes.
You can’t sum it up any better than what Elbert Guillary and Ralph
Washington have said. There are many, many Guillarys and Washingtons
out there in black
America.
We need more efforts like the @Large conference to reach them.
