					<description><![CDATA[First, I want to emphasize that I am no party affiliated (aka : NPA).  Don&#039;t know how you will view the spirit of my comments...but please keep in mind that I am somehow on your email list (I didn&#039;t request an invitation, but have not unsubscribed) and I am  NPA.

I disagree with the Title of your article.  The Black Republicans Categorized as &quot;weak&quot; by you are just behaving the way the modern day Republicans are expected to act if they are to be &quot;true&quot; modern day republicans! Those who determined What &quot;true&quot; Republicans are have already spoken...based upon their behavior toward Black folks since before the time I was born until they elected &quot;good guys on both sides&quot;, the  Exonerated 5 (Central Park 5) are &quot;...still guilty of something&quot;  Donald J. Trump as the President of this Nation.  The Republican party has been owned-and controlled by groups of Whites that fall into 2 categories by the time of the Ronald Reagan era: 1. Those who could care less about Black people (relative to non-Black people) 2. The Racists Whites who joined the Republican party when the party, Under the Atwater/Southern Strategy, in resentment of the Civil rights movement.

I suppose I could go into all the evidence and site sources for this evidence, proving the iterations by which the Republican Party, like the &quot;Ole Democrat&quot; party became dominated by anti-Black racists.  However, there is so much &quot;self-evident&quot; proof to look at, and I can tell by the articles I&#039;ve received from you over the last several months, that you are well read, and therefore capable of finding the basics of this whitin a few minutes.  Since I owe no allegiance to any political party, I hope you will give me enough benefit of the doubt to assume that I don&#039;t have much faith in the Democrats, know their racists past (and present), but also know that now we have 2 parties that really don&#039;t care about us. ...although I personally feel one party is more openly racist and hateful against Black people now than in the past.

Additionally, the brief description of you and your PAC&#039;s purpose, at the end of many of your posts, state that your goal is to get more Black folks into the Republican Party.  The articles I&#039;ve read from you, when discussing White Republicans, are designed (in my opinion) to show them how to convince more Black Americans to be Republicans, in spite of their apathy towards Black Americans, at best...and their outright hostility toward us at worst.  

But just to mention some reasons I say this:  having racist Steve Bannon as an advisor of his, racist policies of Jeff Sessions, racists policies of Wiliam Barr, consultation from White supremacists &quot;conservative&quot; news media to attack his political opponents, appointment of Racist Rudy Guillani as a liar/lawyer of his, both he and Guilliani agreeing with Democract (who was 1st  republican) Bloomberg&#039;s &quot;stop and Frisk&quot; a Black person, outright proven LIES about &quot;voter fraud&quot; made by the same Alex Jones style &quot;conservative&quot; media, outright voter suppression,...etc. etc., etc.

In general, Black Republicans don&#039;t like to mention the facts in the paragraph above, but will deflect and distract by bringing up racism of the Democrats, &quot;Black on-Black Crime&quot; (though White-on-White crime is almost as bad), or any other distraction that proves that their highest priority is their party...not the needs of Black folks.

So here&#039;s what I propose...which is nothing new from what other Black folks propose:  Loyalty to the needs of the Black American community should take priority over loyalty to any of the political parties in America...without exception...and without apology...period.  Black Americans can pick real &quot;grassroots&quot; issues, organize them into 10, 20, or whatever number of demands, and present these as a litmus test to whomever is running or wants to run for office, or whomever else is in political &quot;power&quot; or hopes to obtain it!

I can see the backlash by some of your readers now: &quot;You want a Black political party that won&#039;t work in America&#039;s politics&quot;...or...&quot;What about abortion&quot;, or &#039;he&#039;s a liberal&quot;.

To me, though...that just lets me know where their priorities are.

peace.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Another home run! Raynard, you remain and continue to be our Beacon of Hope from the lighthouse of Truth. We are trying to navigate our way in a sea of ignorance and apathy. Our crew members are aging and thining out.
How about considering a blog or a collective bugle that will allow us to bring forward the tenants of history that is needed now?
President Lincoln had Frederick Douglass; President Nixon had Arthur Fletcher; President Trump
has ..........?]]></description>
