This is such a weird way of looking at things. Republicans specifically target blacks with racist policies and tactics, but you blame the left for saying "Hey, blacks are being targeted by these racist policies and tactics." What is your suggestion then? Ignore the fact that things like voter suppression are primarily black issues?
