WHY DO BLACK AMERICANS VOTE DEMOCRAT BY 90% EVERY ELECTION? I grew up in the South (Texas) home of Lyndon Baines Johnson. It was the Blue Dog Democrats who kept Segregation alive in the South and fought against Civil Rights. My home county, in Texas, was 80% Democrats who used the “N” word as normal as breathing. It was totally segregated.

It was Republicans, the Party of Lincoln, who worked for Civil Rights for the American Blacks in the 40s, 50s and early 60s. LBJ just gets the credit for getting it passed. How? He collared the Democrat Senators & Congressmen and told them they had to pass it to keep the “nigra” vote. They were dragged, kicking and screaming, into session to vote for it.

As the old Campmeeting Song goes: “I was there when it happened and I guess I oughta know.”

It certainly doesn’t help when the Republicans sell out their conservative principles. What happened to school vouchers? Or, why are the Republicans driving down wages and eliminating jobs for poor minorities by doing little or nothing to stop illegal immigration? No, our leadership felt it could out-pander the Democrats, and guess what, no one beats the Dems at their own game. A true conservative agenda would benefit all Americans, including blacks. If we want to win them to our side, we have to be something more than the Democrat-lite party.

(An over simplified history) After the War Between The States nearly 100% of blacks who could vote, (and that was mostly in states under reconstruction) voted Republican. A black that was found to vote Demo was shunned by other blacks. They continued to vote that way till the flood of 1927. To save New Orleans from the flood the levee's up river were dynamited, inundating the homes and sharecropped fields of poor blacks. In 1928, Hoover to help win the election promised black people everywhere that if elected President, he would fix up and pay off those that were effected by the floods. After winning the Presidency, Hoover found out that he was unable to deliver on this promise, and probably didn't care that he couldn't. In 1932 FDR used this against Hoover to sway the black vote. which carried him into office. The black community has voted much like they did before; as a block, but now for Democrats with R voting blacks being shunned.
