The Patriot Post® · Republicans Can Win Elections by Addressing Racism

Columnist Star Parker: “It is no accident that rhetoric about race has been ramping up at a time when racial politics can be the key determinant for control of the Senate this year. At least three states – North Carolina, Louisiana, and Arkansas – are red states with vulnerable Democrat Senators up for re-election that have large black populations. Can racism really be as rampant in America as all the current rhetoric implies? … [P]erhaps all the rhetoric about race we’re hearing reflects more Democratic political operations than realities of America. … If the key difference between the two parties is about big government versus limited government, much of what America’s future will look like will ride on whether Republicans can make any headway with non-white voters with a limited government message. I believe there is much potential for doing so if Republicans would get down to the work that needs to be done.”
