Re:  Do You Really Want Black Folks En Masse In The Republican Party?  NO!

 

A Short Allegory (1854 – 1877)

The noble Republican romanced and wedded a Black princess bride whom he rescued from distress under the cruelty of the Democrat, but after a "long night of passionate love" (1854-1877), he awakened to the horror of a mad, suicidal hand-maid, suffering contagious psycho-physical diseases of an unhealed, self-inflicted wound committed in another country and land.

 

Consequently, not understanding nor knowing what to do to rectify his newly beloved wife’s condition, the once optimistic, noble, but naïve Republican prince pragmatically abandoned the lost, bewildered woman and embraced a new, but same illicit love craved by his evil Democrat twin, which was/is winning power for the  ungodly sake of having it.  

 

Hello Mr. Steele,

Congratulations to you as the First American Black US Citizen to achieve Chair of the National Republican Party.  What an honor, what a challenge for you now as the head of the House that was built because of and for us Emancipated Slaves.

 

It is the purpose of the Republican Party of Los Angeles County Central Committee and Board of Directors, to advance the principles, ideals and policies of the GOP, and aid in the election of our candidates to public office.

 

As the First Vice Chair of the Republican Party of Los Angeles County, it is my commission to stimulate into action the Base of over one million (1,000,000) registered voters into the GOP business of winning elections, etc.

 

You and I are real sons of Black West Africans slaves exiled into Colonial America as chattel property (happiness), and their emancipated children from the peculiar institution of slavery that the United States inherited from Great Britain.

 

Our respective historical roles in the Party makes us standard bearers for the only country that we Blacks know and love, the continuing plight for our beleaguered and all unappreciated peoples, as well! 

 

The Founding Fathers recognized as did the radical abolitionist Republican architects of the GOP, that without the fulfillment of that which was promised to the Emancipated Slaves and their posterity, the America Dream has not yet completely come. 

 

For a few, perhaps, are experiencing some sort of the Dream, but for most, it is a resounding “no”…at least according to the mandates of the Constitutional Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the 14th  Amendment.

 

As you know, on numerous occasions, non-Black Republicans have expressed dismay at how our peoples have become totally (* not partially as other ethno-racial groups) immersed into one geo-political party, i.e. the Democrats. 

 

Ironically, the historical Democratic Party is the very reason that many of us cry Reparations “today” because of its’ anti-American and racist abuse against our fore parents “yesterday”.

 

Often you and I have heard Republicans say that the Party needs to reach out to Blacks and bring them home to the one that freed them from slavery, etc.

 

Herein, lays the crux of my intense communications with you and the leadership of the National Republican Committee.

 

Any astute American aware of the foundational principles and mission of the Republic knows that if the GOP were to ever promote its original foundational message, Blacks would naturally return en masse to the Republican Party. 

However, is that truly what the leadership of the Party wants?  At this time, I don’t think so and with good reason.

Nevertheless, we would like to discuss and challenge the RNC leadership with the following issue of earnestly recruiting American Black US Citizens into Republicanism… but the question remains, “Is it worth the subsequent hassles should Blacks suddenly adhere to the Party?” 

(*See Republicans Are Scared of Blacks)

First, we question:

  1. Does the Republican Party leadership have a message that can get attention of and inspire American Black US Citizens to actually leave the Democratic Party and return to the House that was built because of and for them?

Ø  If so…What is it?  So-called Core Conservative Values or Republicanism?  But then again, what is Republicanism?

 

  1. Is the leadership of the GOP (national, state, county) willing and prepared to re-embrace the Emancipated Save citizens  with all of their "slave quarters", self-destructive “baggage” i.e., socio-economic and emotional maladies indicative of a people once chattel enslaved, followed by 94 years of racist legislation, compiled onto the work and family ethic destroying government social welfare-isms?

Ø   If so, would the Party of Lincoln act with the same, if not stronger, vigor and veracity that brought it into existence in the first place resulting in the US Civil War ,and thereby ending the peculiar institution of chattel slavery?

 

  1. Can "conservative" Republicans do a better work for and with Blacks en masse through their policies than the "liberal" Democrats with their nation destroying socialistic government policies and programs?

Ø  If so…Where and what is the Plan and Strategy?

 

  1. It is my sentiment that the leadership of the RNC and its affiliate Party Chapters throughout the nation does not and would rather not bother themselves with the masses of Blacks and their legendary,  classic, "slave quarters" historical maladie.

     

    Since 1968 the Republican Party has clearly demonstrated that it can win Presidential and Congressional elections without the so-called Black vote, therefore, let the Democrats have it.  In fact Republicans won seven (7) Presidential elections without the Black vote to the Democrats meager four (4) with it.  Simply do basic arithmetic.

     

 

Ø  Of course, being that we Blacks have spent our usefulness on the Party of our former slave master, racist Jim Crow agents and nation destroying socialist, both political entities are opting out of national responsibility and thereby pandering for the unlawful numbers of the Hispanic/Latino vote.

 

     While we know it is un-Constitutional, but isn’t this choice is also morally incorrect…that is, to abandon the dual commission of the Party of the Republic in order to embrace an illicit voting block?

 

Ø  Therefore, many of us Blacks think that the Republican Party really doesn’t really want (* or need) us.   Not that the Party leadership is racist, but rather it would garner the attention of Blacks with it’s foundational message, thereby inheriting our woeful issues.

 

Ø  The leadership seems to have chosen to ignore Blacks and merely wish GOD’s help upon us, leaving us to the scourge of the Democrat, while Republicans outreach instead to Hispanic/Latinos who understandably are not as laden with complex challenges as the Emancipated Slaves.

 

>  Please remember, Hispanic/Latinos, like all other immigrant ethnicities and races, except the Native peoples, came to this land willingly, whereas, we Blacks did not, but we arrived here unwillingly in the shackles and chains of slavery.  Any honest scholar knows, that we never stood a chance to gain the perceived American Dream in the first place.  It was a rouse!

 

Second, we ask:

Would you please convene certain Black Republicans, fiscal conservatives and business literates throughout the nation (or initially regionally) into a series of discussions and strategy session to address the question, “As Republicans, 'What are we going to do about all the Black folks who will want to become Republicans?  Is the Republican Party ready or even want (* or need) us?  We have ideas! Please talk with us.

 

Third, In the meantime we request your support and that of NRC for our 2010 California Proposition by Tax Payers Revolt.  Please see attachment.  For greater information please visit on the net www.TaxpayersRevolt.com  and download Petition.

 

Please let’s speak by phone very soon.  Mine is 424-222-6010 sand I will continue to reach at you sir.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Ted Hayes
