You're absolutely right that the Democrats are the party of slavery, of segregation, of Jim Crow, of the KKK, of lynching.
But the Democrats then also fought under the banner of states’ rights, a smaller and less powerful, more limited federal government (at least until the 20th century, and for southern Democrats, far into the 20th century), and against federal intervention in their states.
Which party today makes the argument for these things, today?
“So I stand by my statement that it was democrats that put them back on the plantation by social welfare giveaway programs to make them beholden to the uncle sugar.”
I haven't said that isn't an aspect of it. And it isn't just social welfare dollars. It's also racial preferences (affirmative action). It's also that the social welfare dollars support the current degraded state of black culture. 70+% illegitimacy, 25% young black male incarceration, fewer black men in college than in prison. This is all expensive stuff. From the perspective of someone buried deep in the corrupted black culture, it may seem extremely unreasonable, even genocidal, that someone (we evil conservatives) might want to take away their welfare, their racial preferences, their free or reduced-cost daycare, their Medicaid.
As well, even though blacks appear to be church-going and claim to hold some conservative social views (pro-life, anti-homosexual agenda, pro-capital punishment, to name a few), a 40% abortion rate and 70+% illegitimacy rate suggest that perhaps it's more talk than walk.
Nonetheless, their attachment to big government is real, it is based in their history, there are reasons OTHER than goodies why they're so attached, and thus, as the party that is ostensibly for a smaller federal government, we can't assume that black folks and also Hispanics are going to flock to our banner, even if our ideas are better and the Democrats are intellectually, morally, and fiscally bankrupt. For blacks, especially, when they hear limited federal government, states’ rights, etc., they believe they're hearing Jim Crow. That's just the reality of it.

“As well, even though blacks appear to be church-going and claim to hold some conservative social views (pro-life, anti-homosexual agenda, pro-capital punishment, to name a few), a 40% abortion rate and 70+% illegitimacy rate suggest that perhaps it’s more talk than walk”.
92% of blacks voted for the communist in chief. The same man that is for abortion on demand and sodomite “marriage”.
Free goodies from Santa Claus Obama trumps everything with blacks. If you think because they show up at church means they are socially conservative, don’t fool yourself. If they were socially conservative, 92% of them would not worship the ground Obama walks on and they certainly wouldn’t vote for man who is no more Christian than the man in the moon. Obama is the most anti-Christian president in American history. Think God would approve of baby killing on demand and faggot “marriage”. Blacks vote for him because he is welfare daddy and the color of his skin is icing on the cake.

Unless they grew up in a family with a mother and father who instilled some values in them. The few blacks like that are republicans who are called Uncle Tom by the race baiters like Sharpton and Jackson. If a black man in today’s American believes in honest work and taking care of himself and not asking for a free handout, he is an outcast and laughed at by that 92% of the freeloaders that voted for Obama. Ask any black conservative the hell they go through for daring to get off the democrat plantation.
