Give Romney a chance. A rising tide floats all boats. A sinking tide leaves them stuck in the mud. Sometimes forever.

Equipping our children with the wherewithal to build and protect wealth to change family trees is WEAK compared to Obamacare “biggest tax hike on the middle class” that forces Americans into inefficiently run Medicaid prgrams to bailout Unions that promised Cadillac plans to retirees but couldn’t deliver and ensure increased profits for BigPharma instead of addressing the skyrocketing costs of healthcare due to the lack of interstate competition, fraud, waste and abuse?

Simply put, we should not be going into debt to start a business. Black Business Professionals should invest their talents in communities to lower the black unemployment devasted by Obama’s Presidency instead of begging Corporate America to do what we have the ability to do ourselves.

Romney knows that teaching a man to fish so that he can feed his family for a lifetime instead of giving him fish to feed his family for a day is the answer not more of Big Brother Government!

@hoodgirl

School Vouchers in no way compares to the new Healthcare Plan that would benefit millions of Americans. Your argument for Ronmey is very weak and I’m not even a loyal democrat or Obama supporter. The fact remains that both parties neglect black voters but the GOP takes it a step further and is more hostile to the needs of black America.

If Romney or the GOP really wanted to get black support he would have put forth an enterprise zone plan for the inner city that targeted black business people. A real plan that would give blacks access to guaranteed business loans and exempt from paying taxes for a few years while the business is growing. This would help reduce black unemployment.

For start, Romney supports the same DC school voucher program that Obama struck down during his first month in office denying parents the choice to send their children to private schools when public schools failed them even though Obama chose to send his children to a private school instead of placing them in the failed DC public school system.

Thanks to Republicans in the House reinstating the DC school voucher program that Obama struck down during his first month in office, more BLACK children can receive their education in a safe and academic environment just as Obama chose for his children.

I don’t know how any Black person would want to be a republican. It’s hard enough being a democrat. What has the republican party done for Black people, ever, except for maybe the wealthy? Don’t talk about Lincoln freeing our ancestors because he really only did it because the south wouldn’t stay in the union. Our future lies as independents, so we can at least play both sides against each other, in order to get what we want. The democrats have taken advantage of us for far too long. What is the incentive for them to do anything for us if we keep voting for then blindly? Time to change our strategy. But I do realize that before we can do this, we need to come together and build a strong economic base because that’s who controls this country anyway, big business.

@Hoodgirl,
Exactly what did Romney “acknowledge” the black about? Besides telling them he will cut all of the President’s programs?

Romney acknowledges the black community and Obama sends Jo Biden who has nothing but racial slurs in his background….in the words of Bill Clinton “give me a break”!.
