You change positions faster than John Kerry windsurfing.

You are simultaneously surprised and unsurprised at the "white vote for black guy" outcome.
Personally, I'm not surprised at all, because I think white racism--across all political ideologies--has ebbed into near oblivion. You can continue to hold your 1963 view of conservatism if you wish, but it'll just mean you're late to the table next time too.

My view of consertavism isn't based on 1963. Take a look at any Republican convention since then and show me how many African-Americans were there. Take a look at the way prominent conservative leaders have reacted to the African-American community, including recently with all Republican presidential candidates refusing to participate in debates sponsored by African-American interest groups. |

The black "community" has shot themselves in the foot with the GOP, every bit as much as vice versa. They've sold themselves wholesale to the Dems for a bill of goods ... some of their own "leaders" even say so (see Jesse Jackson). Imagined racism is good for the Dems. It prevents otherwise clear-thinking black folks from giving the GOP an honest look. Meanwhile people like you are surprised to find folks not nearly as racist as you think they are. Amusing.

However, in terms of resources the African American interest groups are beholden to the Democrats and the Republicans spend their resources on Latin groups and other demographics. When 90 percent of one group are voting against you, you don't stand much to gain, especially if you have other groups where the resources can yield results.

What were the circumstances of the proposed sponsored debates?
Who made the decision? When was the proposal made? Did it conflict with other ones already agreed to?
