Reply #14: For the Black and Hispanic part..... HipHop, etc. [View All]

I remember not too long ago there was a post asking if Black voters might be lost to the Democratic Party. this section of NOW spoke to that, and YES, there is dissatisfaction within the population of Black voters that the have been taken for granted for too long, and their issues not addressed. The speaker (whose name I've already forgotten) spoke about losing voters by not appealing to this segment.

He specifically said that Kerry would have been well served to have gone to the hip hop convention and addressed these young people. He said that ignoring them showed he was more interested in image than substance.

In the thread that was posted, that idea was pooh-poohed, yet......... Here is a Black man saying that the Party better start smelling the roses. Some of us have been saying this for quite a while......... the Dems are ignoring their traditional constituents, and it is to their peril.

It's interesting to me that this part of the NOW program hasn't been commented on here.

Are the DEMS listening?
