24. If a party

harbors a very vocal minority that made numerous bigoted statements towards blacks would you expect black voters to be leery of them?

What if those statements were along the lines of all black people are criminals (if you want to stop crime it's simple: black people stop being criminals!). Or that whenever blacks succeed it's because they'd had unfair advantages, whenever they fail it's proof that they are despicable as a group. Or that even having a group to discuss their issues is racist and unfair despite there being 5 groups for whites only already.

What if that vocal minority were apparently tolerated and never called out for their actions and supported people who were openly racist towards blacks and found a manifesto written by someone who went on to shoot a bunch of black guys about the need for exterminating that race to be hilarious or witty satire?

Would you think it's justified that black voters would maybe not be entirely enamored with that party?
