WELCOME TO RBE

 

Republicans for Black Empowerment is on a mission to raise the value of black America's political capital by increasing awareness of the upside offered by conservative solutions to the black community's concerns. For over 40 years, black voters have staunchly aligned themselves with the Democratic Party on Election Day. However, an increasing number have begun questioning the wisdom of supporting: (i) social policies rooted in low expectations and government dependency; (ii) economic and tax policies that stifle economic growth, job creation, personal savings and investment; and (iii) education policies that refuse to subject public schools to the competitive pressures of school choice, leaving parents of predominantly black students in failing schools without the choices enjoyed by middle and upper-class Americans.

We believe misinformation rather than adequate 'return on investment' cements black allegiance to the Democratic Party. To that end, Republicans for Black Empowerment seeks to raise awareness, provoke greater critical thinking and increase Republican elected officials through executing a program aligned with four long-term goals:


  1. Provide a national networking infrastructure allowing black conservatives to discover one another more easily and stimulating the development of grassroots networks of activists across the country.
  2. Encourage members to become active in their local Republican party apparatus, respectively, through pursuing leadership roles at all levels including precinct, county and state leadership.
  3. Provide forums (i.e., online and offline) for black conservatives to exchange ideas and to raise awareness of alternate political solutions to addressing the concerns of the black electorate.
  4. Support political candidates with platforms aligned with improving the lives of all Americans, emphasizing (i) tax and economic policies conducive to optimal growth and job creation, (ii) urgent public education reform and (iii) minimal size of government.

Our membership is comprised of a grassroots coalition of concerned citizens from all ethnic groups and regions of the United States. Please join and support our efforts.

"2010 Annual Review & Launch of Fundraising Campaign"

Greetings RBE Member,

Many thanks for being an active member of Republicans for Black Empowerment (RBE), among the fastest-growing organizations and social networks for black conservatives and GOP activists.  RBE’s core reason for being remains (i) making it easy for black conservatives and Republican Party activists to discover one another, (ii) encouraging members to become engaged within their local and/or state political apparatus and (iii) providing a forum for spirited debate amongst critical thinkers. 

In 2010, we experienced exceptional growth, with 250 new members joining, pushing membership up by 50% to over 750 individuals. In addition, RBE launched its official Facebook Page with over 900 members, counseled several candidates and provided them access to our network for donations and hosted our 4th Annual Gathering of GOP Activists in Washington, D.C. This annual event acts as a conservative alternative to the more liberal leaning Congressional Black Caucus event, which is held the same day.

 As we approach the 2012 election season, we are seeking new ways to grow membership and build on our influence. Specifically, we intend to (i) invest in marketing materials to support the development of RBE affiliates around the country and (ii) upgrade our website by doubling the number of Ning Apps. The latter will expand the quantity and quality of features available to members and allow us to engage in new ways with one another.

 To accomplish these goals we are making our first online fundraising appeal. If you are so inclined, please click the DONATE link on the sidebar of our site (www.theblackgop.com) and contribute a minimum of $25.

 

 Thanks again for your active engagement online and offline toward increasing awareness amongst the black electorate, in particular, of conservative solutions to the issues facing our nation and communities, respectively.

 

Sincerely,

Donald E. Scoggins, President

1/29 VIDEO OF THE DAY: Rep. Allen West To Various Liberals: "Get The Hell Out Of The United States Of America"

The conservative Republican Congressman just wouldn't be himself, if he wasn't being a firebrand. After seemingly laying low for awhile on the incendiary comments front, Rep. West returns full blast. I don't agree that the high-profile liberals that he targets should leave the country, but I do enjoy Rep. West getting a rise out of his liberal critics:

Samuel Gonzalez: "Sarah Palin Is Trippin'. Unfortunately, There's No Way That Gingrich Would Clobber Obama In A Debate"

Asserts the conservative Republican blogger in New York City: "I love Sarah but I think a lot of my fellow conservatives are debate obsessed to a 'blind spot'. Yes, Newt is a great debater but he has some body language quirks that would sink him against Barack Obama a lot of people aren’t picking up on."

He continues his commentary: "Newt has a nasty habit of looking pissed off whenever somebody says something he doesn’t like. That’s not a good thing against a debate with Barack Obama. How one comes across on TV is a huge factor too many conservatives are totally ignoring about Newt. The three debates against Obama will be about more than just the substance of the rhetoric. Let’s be honest, Newt Gingrich is a old, out of shape, not particularly good looking white guy against a slim and good looking African American president. For political junkies like me, such superficial comparison holds no water. But for 100 million Americans who watch the Jersey Shore, or The Factor, or the Biggest Loser, Obama wins the debate before a word comes out of his mouth. Newt’s slovenly appearance is a big distraction. So, Sarah Palin and a lot of other conservatives better wake up and realize that life is not fair and Newt will be disqualified by millions even before 1 billion dollars hammers his baggage."

Quote of the Day - on Overcoming Obstacles

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do." - Eleanor Roosevelt
