African Americans sold themselves for money as Democrats started to give away the treasury in exchange for the vote.

Before the 60s the vast majorities of blacks voted Republican. SHOCKER...

Blacks starting to vote Democratic during the FDR days, they went to the 90% range for Democrats after the Civil Rights Act.

here is my opinion, republicans have a perception that they don't care about african americans. Whether that is true or not is irrelevant. We will vote democrat until republicans can prove that they give a dam about. Democrats may have racist people, but at least they give the perception that they care about us even if that may not be the case. BTW, if i misspelled a word or have bad grammar, i don't care grammar police.

so what are supposed to vote if democrats supress us and republicans don't care about us?

So you've fallen for the lies for 50 years or more and yet you vote for the same people who exploit you decade after decade. Brilliant. Maybe try something different and you might actually get a different result from a party that wants you to be the best you can be instead of a party that takes advantage of you time after time.

You mean by hosing kids out of classes like the Democrats did?
Or funding the genocide of blacks through abortion mills the way Democrats do?
Since the 60s, how has the black man had their personal situations get better? Before they were on their knees to Democrats they used to have a 70% + two parent households.

IMO they sold their souls to Democrats in exchange for some chump change.
Until blacks get vibrant in both parties they will not see things progress past poor for them IMO. That IMO is very bad and sad.

So is voting for republicans a better solution?
