Hunter said he’s well aware of the Democratic Party’s history of helping minorities; he doesn’t think that means they deserve his vote 40 years after key civil rights battles. Other issues are more important to him, he says: privatizing Social Security, lowering taxes, and business development. ‘’I strongly believe that there should be options for Americans — rich, poor, old, young — to invest,” he said.
As some black voters drift toward the GOP, Republicans have accused the Democratic Party of expedient politics: ignoring a core constituency until it’s time to vote, rather than nurturing African-Americans between elections. Some African-American Democrats share that complaint. ‘’I think there’s an extreme danger” of losing black votes to the GOP, said Lamell McMorris, an African-American political consultant who heads the Washington-based Perennial Strategies. Democrats are still relying on their civil rights record and are not pitching new ideas to young, professional blacks seeking to build businesses and personal wealth.

Can I get an amen?
