Demographic Issues

Ideas on the demographics issues...


I tend to believe we lack credibility, not because of the things we stand for, but for the fact we don't articulate a strong enough message in communities where the demographics play against the conventional wisdom.

Why aren't we challenging the status quo in Harlem, which has a long-established ideological committment to the ways of W.E.B. Dubois and retell the stories of Booker T. Washington?

Let's say why the Rev. Martin Luther King was a Republican.

Let's ensure J.C. Watts and Michael Steele play prominent roles in the Party.

Let's invite more open ideological debates between Ken Blackwell and Cornell West.

Let's make Walter Williams, Star Parker, Thomas Sowell, Armstrong Williams, and Lynn Swann more accessible in the black community and have them speak about the power of conservative politics as a force for change and good.
