Traditionally, political parties have supported the people who support them. Supporting people who oppose you, your principles, and your election, is insane. The democrat party certainly doesn't support people who oppose them. The answer to the OP question is that GOP owes blacks, qua blacks, nothing. 95% of blacks voted for obozo, up from their traditional 90% support for the democrat party presidential nominee. Yet GOP nominees continue to go through this ritual of speaking at the NAACP convention, supporting "affirmative action", voting yet another extension of the long anachronistic voting rights act, etc etc. As in so many other things in america, blacks get a free ride in opposing the GOP - their opposition to the GOP won't cost them anything in GOP support of black programs. Why? Yet the GOP establishment does little to support policies specifically helpful to its white male constituency. Partly this is a legacy of RINO control of the party, which supports business interests, and goes along with their long-standing implicit pact to buy peace with blacks via pervasive company policies of anti-white male discrimination. The old union(democrat) proverb was reward your friends and punish your enemies. The trillion dollar porkulus shows this is still operative. Why doesn't the GOP practice it too?
