That is total BS. The blacks who experienced Jim Crow experienced it under Dems, not Pubs! Yet, since the 60's, they vote as a block for Dems. Go figure! You tell me - are they that dumb? Did Martin Luther King, Jr. - as a black growing up in the south in the 40's and 60's - do you think when or if he voted, he voted for Dems? Did he vote for the same Dems that wouldn't let him eat at the lunch counter, made him ride in the back of the bus, made him drink out of separate water fountains? And if he did, than he was a friggin' idiot!

I'm just about finished with Judge Clarance Thomas' book. Here's a man - an intelligent man - who came out of the south at the end of the Jim Crow era who slowly realized that it was the Dems doing harm to blacks and not Pubs. It's right there where anyone can see it. The information is right there for anyone to know it. And yet - blacks as a block - will continue to pull the lever for the Dems. Please, someone tell me why!

You are correct. And you could make a case that the War on Poverty, credited to LBJ, was actual Nixon's idea. But all that doesn't matter.

What matters is that the Democrat Party, being the party of big government and more and more social programs, has pandered to the black community for decades.

Self-appointed black leaders have personally benefited greatly from this largesse.

It's all about the gravy train and black people have been told and believe that if Republicans are elected, all their government handouts will cease.
