I'd hope that you aren't foolish enough to believe that minority voters are incapable of changing their views, their minds, their values and their primary interests over time. I'd hope that you would able to give them more credit for their ability to advance themselves without the need for blue sympathy, government support and hand outs. Hell, I'm giving them more credit for that than you appear to be giving them.
Another post of yours showing your allegiance to Republicans.
Why should today's young people of color get "credit" for falling for the Republican propaganda that the people don't need government help unless they are poor and dependent? No-one of ANY demographic should fall for this nonsense; I am ashamed of being a part of a demographic that has.
Some of them might fall for it, as they get more wealthy; yes. The question is how soon, and how many.
I give them more credit than to fall for an ideology so outdated that it is more regressive than that of any party since the days of pro-slavery Dixie Democrats.
Anthony's point above is a good one too. Blacks for example will continue to vote for the party that has the better record of protecting their rights. To some extent that will also be the case for other ethnic groups or demographic categories of people who feel their civil rights need protection.
