What has the Republican Party done for minorities since 1965?

[Cigar]

I'll let you start the list below ... and don't worry, I don't limit participation :grin:

Because I'm not afraid of the answers

[Cigar]

Should be based on common rhetoric and beliefs, easy question....can you explain, list, or define all of the things that theRepublican Party has done to help advance racial/ethnic minorities, to reduce the amount of people on welfare, to generate employment, increase quality education, and so on? And can you show facts and statistics to back up the initiatives?

Have fun, FYI you have to first answer a question in order for someone to be afraid of it

You appear to be under some illusion that a Political Party has to do something for minorities ... my answer is nothing, and nor do I want a political party to do anything for me.

BTW, as a Minority Woman, what has the Republican Party "ever" done for Women since the beginning of time?

First the GOP has been trying to get children out of the failed Public schools for Decades

http://www.talk2action.org/story/2006/7/19/145054/959

It is just a shame that we force children to attend schools that will doom them to failure.

They Also have been trying to establish enterprise zones Since Jack Kemp was in the Senate, the last proposal was in 2014

And of course I don't think that I need to post a link on the immigration stance of the GOP, which of course would open up 11 million jobs and increase wages.

Then there was Stop and Frisk which was lowering the violence in the City of New York and DC Repealed by Democrats.

How is that for a start

The Democratic Party has made promise after promise for decades to fix the inequality against minorities have they not? And also in what world have I defended republicans before? This isn't about republicans for me it's about getting explanations from the people that claim to have the superior ideas but yet can't show the successes

What specific bill that the GOP blocked do you think would have made the biggest difference for the Minority communities?

So Cigar, I am waiting for those Bills that the GOP has blocked that would have changed the lives of the Minorities?

I thought you might have forgotten.

They're coming ... after November 8th

They're coming ... after November 8th

I thought that might be the case. Truth is, Nothing was blocked by the GOP that would have effected the plight of the minority community.

People are finally starting to take a look at this.

[DGUtley]

They're coming ... after November 8th

You're kidding me. Really? C'mon man.

[Cigar]

I personally don't care who you Vote for.

Didn't care in 2008, cared even less in 2010 and won't give a F'ck on Tuesday November 8th :grin:

The article says that the purpose of vouchers is to enable religious schools.

How is that for a start

Stop and Frisk was used to unfairly target black people. It was outlawed last year for this reason.

Cut taxes to grow the economy.

Vouchers were to give parents a choice to pull their kids out of failing schools. Unfortunately, it's killing the parochial schools b/c the kids don't have to follow religious instruction or rules.
As for stop and frisk, reasonable suspicion was required beforehand. Unfortunately, in NYC (and only in NYC as far as I know) racial profiling was alleged.

Tried it in 1986. Didn't work.

It said Private and Religious Schools, and yes I am OK with parents choosing A religious school if it provide the Child with an education that will allow them to succeed, what problem to you have with that.

And it targeted people in the dangerous parts of these cities, Yes many of them were minorities and many of them had illegal firearms.

So I am sure that they feel much better being DEAD than having their thugs be disarmed.

[Peter1469]

Incorrect. It worked for Kennedy, Reagan, Clinton (when he cut), and Bush the Younger.

Get the government out of the way and the economy will expand.
