The Asbury Park Press reports on an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showing Mitt Romney with 0% support among African American voters. While that is obviously not likely, it is not far off, and it reflects less on Romney than on the fact that an overwhelming number of black voters vote strictly for Democrats.
The Lone Ranger provides us with a history lesson on how, why and when black voters switched their allegiance from the Republican to the Democrat Party.
What is to be done?
I mean, the G. O. P. has tried a lot. And let's face it, most African American voters are not far-left progressives philosophically. On issues such as school choice, same-sex marriage and immigration they fall squarely on the right. Yet predominantly black constituencies continually roll up 10:1 Democrat majorities. With some exceptions, even African American Republicans fare little better than the rest of the ticket.
