I am hoping that we see more people paying attention to the message of economic freedom rather than of dependence on the state and make strides toward self-sufficiency for their communities. This is so critical as the status quo is not working - blacks born in single parent families is up to well over 60% now. Social engineering.
If Larry Sharpe from NY runs for the LP - they could get more black voters and he definitely would not have a 'what is a leppo' moment like Gary Johnson did.
In the meantime, Thomas Sowell's books are a great read for blacks looking for economic education and looking deeper at issues affecting them directly.
On the flip side, I would like to see more non-Black voters consider the historically (extraordinarily) difficult time Black Americans have faced in the past, and to some extent still do, as they decide for whom to vote. And, yes, I would like to see more Black voters consider the message of self-sufficiency provided by the LP and others.
That is, I'd like to see the country more understanding and less divided by race (and other factors).
As Black voters start to embrace the ideas of self-sufficiency, I can foresee some in the Democratic Party, and on the left generally, reacting with alarm and fear, digging in their heels and pulling out all the stops in trying to portray any attempt to "liberate" Black people from government largesse as tantamount to cutting benefits for Black people, throwing them out into the streets (in greater numbers than they are already) and, of course, racist.
