Gays? Are gays "non white" now? I support the position of states rights on homosexual marriage. If a state doesn't want to sanction homosexual marriage, it shouldn't have to. But let's get back to what republicans are doing to non-whites.....
Go back and read my posts .. I've mentioned
America's diverse population many times. It's no secret why you want to run away from this. :0)
I'm waiting for the list of things those evil republicans are doing to my black, hispanic and asian brothers and sisters. What specific policies are disenfranchising the non-whites. Be specific.
It would be a waste of our time because you'll just run. I've mentioned the disenfranchisement of non-white voters and you act as if you've never heard of it.
Texas Republicans Figure out How to Disenfranchise Women Voters
... It’s no longer enough to prevent blacks, Hispanics or college students from voting, so Texas Republicans have figured out how to target the biggest group they fear might challenge their death grip on the throat of Texas politics – women. As of November 5th, when Texas’s strict voter ID law goes into effect, voters will be required to show a photo ID at the polls. Twenty-five percent of eligible African-American voters and 16% of Hispanics do not have an ID that would satisfy the new Texas voter ID requirements. Eighteen percent of people over the age of 65 do not have a current ID at all, and student ID card issued by their college or university are not acceptable to allow them to vote in Texas. Unsurprisingly, most of these voters tend to vote for Democrats.
But there's an extra, very nasty little sting in the tail: these approved voter IDs also require that voters have their up-to-date legal name at the polls. This effectively impacts a huge proportion of women, particularly those who are married. Only 66% of voting age women has ready access to a photo document that will attest to proof of citizenship and what Texas considers a "legal" name. This is largely significant because married women don't always update their documents with their married names, while changing names after marriage isn't something that usually affects male voters. 34% of women voters – those who are even aware that such an ID will be necessary or they will be prevented from voting – are hurrying to update their documents, not so easy to do and, tellingly, not that quick. Texas is making obtaining this photo ID with a so-called "up-to-date" name as difficult as possible; women must show original documents, along with both a birth certificate and proof of marriage, divorce degree, or court-ordered changes. Photocopies just aren’t good enough.

I could post 10 pages of information and data on republican attempts to disenfranchise voters .. yet you ignored it as if its no big deal. Point being, detailing evidence in this conversation is a waste of time.
And what sort of "reach out" would tickle the poor little hearts of those "non-whites"? Again, be specific. What do republicans have to do to make the "non-whites" feel the love?
From my perspective, nothing. Here is the part you're missing, republicans are no longer in the drivers seat. :0) They can't win another national election with their current composition. Let me repeat that .. They cannot win another national election .. and that will only lead to an erosion of support statewide. As America becomes even more diverse, the Whigs are waiting for them.
Republicans don't have to do anything they don't want to do, don't have to reach out to anybody. I'm good with that.
