You are correct to point out that turning the politics of race against progressives is best done by pounding them for 70 years of failing the black community by never fulfilling their promises of better times (“Perry’s Race Talk,” Review & Outlook, July 6). But Republicans will never win the black vote or the Hispanic vote by speaking to the Congressional Black Caucus or La Raza. The way you win is to visit and meet with blacks and Hispanics where they live, where their kids go to school and where they go to church.
