The simple answer why is that Republicans don't make much of an effort at all to win over their vote (which is what it is because of long history). Why do Republicans not do much to win the black vote?
But it's a moot point anyway. If blacks still didn't have the legal right to vote, Obama still would have won. So why is this conversation going on?
