I suggest you review our American history on who and what Johnson was, along with what his beliefs were with regards to his civil rights legislation before you get too sentimental about what Democrats did for minorities in the 60s. You may be surprised or maybe not.
I know Johnson didn't think too highly of Blacks, but neither did Barry Goldwater.
Who do you think is committing the murders? But note how Omaha's murder rate is less than half that of Chicago's.
Like I said before, this is not a Democrat/Republican issue. We both know who is committing the murders, and who is being murdered. The question is WHY?
BTW, Chicago's Black murder rate is 32 murders per 100,000. Blacks in Omaha has a murder rate around 46 murders per 100,000. Omaha is more conservative, has a lower percentage of Blacks, and yet, Blacks get killed more in Omaha, per capita, than in Chicago. This shows that politics has nothing to do with it. It has everything to do with gangs, drugs, broke homes, anger, and other things.
A better question is "Why would anybody commit murder in the first place"?
I know Johnson didn't think too highly of Blacks, but neither did Barry Goldwater.
I suggest you read more about Goldwater. Goldwater's running mate was New York representative, William E. Miller, who had been the co-author of Republican civil-rights legislation in the 1950s. Goldwater wasn't a racist; Johnson clearly was. Johnson’s Great Society was pure politics
Okay, one pathetic racist documented by "Dirty Hippie.org". Reverend Jeremiah Wright is a Christian leader who is black and a racist. Does that make all Black Christians racist? Does it make "quite a few"?
Where did I say I supported the Tea Party? I was pointing it out as an example of how middle class working blacks don't vote R because they are trained by the liberal media to believe all Republicans are racists.
Way to try and move the goal post mountainrose! You challenge me to provide proof, which I do, and than you conveniently change the subject. Both (not just one) of these Tea Party idiots are racist. To make things worst they aren't just supporters, they are officials.
Are you going to put together a critical response (without changing the subject) or did I just shatter your logical fallacy?
You're premise is wrong, richer whites aren't more liberal, at least in the sense of likely to vote Democratic, though they're often more socially liberal. Here's a graph of white vote by income and education:
Better yet, why do Whites and Asians do better no matter who is in charge?
And a better question is this. Why all the concern over how Blacks vote? Why is it anyone else's business?
Blacks aren't a private secret society.
They are Americans and their issues, concerns and behaviors affect ALL of America just as white issues, concerns and behaviors affect ALL of America.
