Black People Politics : Romney to NAACP: Economy is ‘worse for African Americans in almost every way’

It is true that blacks are worse off now, economically, than when Obama took office. The unemployment rate alone confirms this. But the challenge Romney has is to convince voters he will do a better job than Obama has. Of course he knows few blacks will vote for him. So you have to figure he spoke at the NAACP to send a message to his base --- the majority of white voters who usually vote Republican anyway.

" So you have to figure he spoke at the NAACP to send a message to his base"? Actually, you don't have to figure that. You could figure he wanted to reach out to blacks and tell them what he would do for them if he were president.

Or, he spoke at the NAACP so he could give the white racists who vote republican a way to claim they are not, really, white racists. So he showed up at the NAACP and pretended that he is not going to ignore the concerns of black voters.

He didn't show up at the NAACP to try and get black votes. He knows Obama is going to get the lion's share of black votes. Everybody knows Obama is going to get the lion's share of black votes. Romney was doing what passes for wise in political circles --- same reasoning that prompted the Bush clan to attend Corretta Scott King's funeral. By the way, here is a pic of W. engaging in a little bromance with Ms. Eddie Long at Corretta's funeral:

Of course, he is going to ignore the concerns of black voters --- regardless of what he said or did at the NAACP. But, then, the same can be said of Obama.
