Definetely..but those black Republicans who do not agree with affirmative action I would say probably have very different backgrounds than most of those who do. And no, it is not growing. According to polls (which I know you think mean nothing) blacks supporting Republicans and Republican issues have strongly declined in 2005 significantly when compared to 2004.

I think there are certainly people who abuse government help programs, but definetely people who are in desperate need of some help and not just wanting a HANDOUT (there have been many times in my childhood when the government definetely helped in many ways, and contributed in the long run I think to the betterment of that little minute part of society called--MY FAMILY)..
