Donna Ellingsen of Chester County submitted a couple of links concerning commentary by Bryon Donalds written a few months after Obama’s 2012 victory.
They still have merit and are worth reading. Here they are:

Donalds is black and one of his points is that Republicans can win black voters if they put a little effort into it.
And of course, he’s right.
There are indications that this is starting to occur — thank you Rand Paul.
Skin color and ethnicity, ultimately, are irrelevant. What only makes them important in the short term are subjective things which can be fairly summed up in one word: bigotry.
Democrat activists — or their leaders anyway — count on keeping people divided and hateful of each other to keep their large, tax-funded rice bowls filled. They expect blacks, who have far more in common with Tea Party types than those who live in wealthy exclusive communities that now overwhelmingly vote D, to never catch on.
They will.
There has been scaremongering about some reports that America will lose its “white” majority by 2050. Leaving aside the tendency that these predictions fail, we would infinitely rather live in a land run by freedom-loving, Christian-conservative Black/Latino/Asians/mixed than one by “progressive”, feudalistic, “I-think-I’m-smarter-than-you” whites.
Thank you Donna.
Byron Donalds
