Overall, I agree with Ron Christieâs argument in the Daily Beast on âhow to really empower black voters nationwide.â The former special assistant to President George W. Bush and deputy assistant to Vice President Dick Cheney says, âRepublicans need a positive message for people of color, and they need to state that message clearly, and with conviction.â The Republican strategist, who is African American, writes, âRepublicans need to expand who they are talking to in communities of color.â Both are very true. But the GOP suffers a bit from denial and has a self-reinforcing image problem that makes it seem inhospitable to people of color, which is something that comes through in the fourth paragraph of Christieâs column. more . . .
The Republican Partyâs problem with black people

Which indicates the claim that they're situation's getting worse might need a bit of unpacking. For example, are there conditions getting absolutely worse, or relatively (to "whites") worse?
Yes , because if Republicans complain that their conditions are getting worse , could black peoples conditions get better under Republicans?
Are Republicans going to give black people more or what?

I imagine Republicans would give them MORE incentive to work.
Why aren't they giving them more incentive to work now ?
Why do you keep bringing up what Democrats used to do?
I agree , its appalling.
Fortunately, the Republicans are in charge and Blacks are moving back to the South by the millions.
They're trying but Democrats want no cuts to any programs. If/when some of the handouts started to dwindle you'd see at least some people more motivated to work. Anyone remember Tommy Thompson from WI years ago?
Thompson is best known nationally for pushing his state to overhaul its welfare system.[17] These reforms were implemented and pioneered before Congress and President Clinton undertook national reform of the program.[17] Under his leadership, Wisconsin has reduced its welfare rolls by almost 90%, cutting welfare spending but increasing investments in child care and health care, especially for low-income working families.
