Letter to the Editor MACON TELEGRAPH December 10, 2014 Blacks to the GOP America has a pervasive race problem that will not be resolved as long as we continue to deny we have a problem. Far too many people believe racism does not exist in our country and dont want to talk about it. Often, those who bring up the need to dialogue on race issues are called racists. The fact that the Republican Party is predominantly a white peoples party speaks volumes about where the GOP stands on race. Why does the Republican Party have such a hard time relating to people of color? It seems the party is content in not trying to win the black vote. That sends a subtle message that blacks are not worth Republicans efforts to win their votes. By becoming a more diverse party and working hard to appeal to black voters nationwide, the GOP could make a huge difference in changing racial attitudes for the better. The ball is in the GOPs court. What will the party do with it? Paul Lam Whiteley Sr. Louisville, Kentucky
