Kathy Shaidle On Why Minority Outreach Is Doomed To Failure

By James Fulford

"Kathy Shaidle was making a slightly different point but it also applies to why blacks and Mexicans are unlikely to ever vote Republican in large numbers:

Conservative talk a lot about taxes. But nearly half of Americans
don't pay income tax anyhow.

When a conservative hears the phrase "income tax", he thinks:
"tax".

When an Obama voter hears the phrase "income tax," he thinks:
"income."

Because poor people plan their lives (to the extent you can call
it planning) around their income tax returns, which they spend on hair
weaves, fake nails, tire rims and other essentials.

But effective communication will involve a lot of pain. Careerist
hacks don't want to make factual observations related to class
behaviours. Even if voters embrace them -- and millions of grateful
voters would -- the media would crucify them. "
