Mitt Romney courts African American vote to show he's 'severely compassionate conservative'


Out to prove to white voters he cares about black voters.

The Republican Party once had a lock on the African American vote. But that began loosening 125 years ago when the "Lily-White" movement openly began to push blacks out of the party. Even though Southern Democrats were the official party of Jim Crow, African Americans who could vote drifted ever more into the Democratic Party. Republicans never recovered the percentages of black voters the party could count on in the first three decades immediately following Emancipation. Now, the African American vote is the most reliably Democratic of any racial or ethnic group in the nation.

Mitt Romney has belatedly begun making an effort to woo black voters. But running against an African American president who garnered 96 percent of the black vote in 2008 is a decidedly uphill struggle.

Just how much was evident in a poor neighborhood of Philadelphia Thursday when the candidate ran into a small but hostile crowd. Madaline G. Dunn, 78, a resident of the area for 50 years, said she was “personally offended” that Romney was visiting the neighborhood.

I call bullmitt! on Romney. No one is falling for this "show" of compassion. His policies would hurt all Americans.
