...What have Republicans offered black communities other than prisons ?
Why should they offer them anything at all?
Democrats are no better in their treatment of Blacks... they're just more subtle about it than their Republican counterparts.
" Vote Democrat !!! Come out and vote !!! We need you !!! Strength in numbers !!! "
And then the inner-city urban-plantation Black Folk vote (D) just like they were told to do.
And, once the Dems win, they go on their way, and ignore the Black folk for another four years, until they need 'em again at the polls.
Oh, Dems will "offer" ( lure / bribe ) Blacks with a few more goodies, but that just increases the Terrible Dependency in the long run.
One need look no further than any large-scale city controlled for decades by Democrats to know the profound truth of that observation.
Mainly because they offer whites things and try taking things from blacks. You are wrong about democrats and your opinion is what the black conservatives in the OP is talking about. As long as you talk like this, you can forget about blacks becoming republicans. Your observation is wrong because those cities are run by democrats because republicans run and lose. You talk about cities while I live in a state ruined by republican policies.
"It looks like conservatives talking about blacks as people deserving of dignity instead of treating them as
mentally inferior. It means seeing them as fellow Americans instead of slaves on a fictional
plantation. It means emphasizing truth over narrative and seeking a genuine understanding of those we wish to reach instead of relying on lazy stereotypes and meaningless platitudes."
The Rise of a New Black Conservative Movement
"We favor an approach that involves up-close conversation and discourse instead of the mindless repeating of banal platitudes about Chicago’s homicide rates from a distance."
There is a new breed of black conservatives coming to the forefront, and they are not your typical establishment black conservatives.

"Conservatives have been saying that black Democrats are slaves on the Democratic plantation since the ‘60s. It was off-putting then, and it’s off-putting now. The GOP has refused to develop a viable strategy to reach black voters and other minorities. Since the ‘60s, they have surrendered the black voter to the left while convincing their members to believe blacks don’t vote for Republicans because they just want “free stuff.” Yes, that’s yet another stereotype that should be debunked. We wish to see this change. "
The Rise of a New Black Conservative Movement
Why wouldn't any self-respecting black person want to become a Republican? Someone doesn't have to be a Rhodes scholar to figure out what President Trump has done for black folks, compared to how little Obama and the Democrat party has done for them.
Under Obama, black unemployment went to record levels. New black-owned businesses were down, food stamp usage and welfare skyrocketed, fewer blacks bought land or houses, and there was an abnormally-high amount of unrest in the black communities. There were riots where black-owned businesses and homes were burned to the ground, as in the Ferguson and Milwaukee riots.
President Trump on the other hand, enacted a justice reform program that freed black folks who were incarcerated for no other reason than being black. The black and Hispanic unemployment rate was the lowest since the government started to record that data in 1972.
Food stamp usage and welfare dropped significantly in the black community, and many African-Americans were opening new businesses and buying homes.
