LBJ sign the War on Poverty which increased fatherless families from 20% to 73% and climbing. The welfare state destroyed the black family---------- so as far as i am concerned all those southern Dems are still Klan members.
After World War II black were deeply impoverished compared to whites (and most other races). But they started closing the gap steadily, and kept it up for many decades.
Until LBJ started his "Great Society", which included a Welfare State that made it financially advantageous for single women to have children with no father in the house.

The U.S. Census Dept. Seems to change the links to its various tables every now and then. This makes it hard to reference the tables in records.
Here's a modern version of the table referenced at the bottom of the chart. I don't know if it matches. The chart was made from the table it references, and matched that exactly.
Most poor people regardless of skin color vote Democrat. When the south was more poor and less educated, the Democratic party owned it.
Correct. 2/3 of those on public assistance vote Dem. There are actually statistics on that. They haven't yet figured out that it's in the Dems' best interest to keep them poor and therefore dependent on the government. It's the only way Dems can win elections and try to keep some semblance of political power.

Share of Recipients of each program that self-identified as supporters of Republican party in Maxwell Poll:
Gov. Subsidized Housing: 12%
Medicaid: 16%
Food Stamps: 20%
Unemployment Compensation: 21%
Welfare or public assistance: 22%
Disability benefits from government: 25%
And even worse, it's minorities who are very disproportionately kept poor.
Now that Dem voters understand that you're supporting the maintenance and growth of a perpetually poor underclass that MUST be kept poor in order to keep most of them voting Dem, will you all still go along with that?
Wow, is that guy (Robert Caro) who wrote a gazillion LBJ biography best sellers going to be surprised! It's sort of like the guy who wrote the big Lindbergh biography book who never knew old Lucky Lindy was a bigamist a few times over.
That makes no sense given Democrats support expanding welfare and entitlements and raising taxes on the rich. Democrats are going hard for the poor vote, GOP is going for the middle class vote with lower taxes, welfare and entitlement reform policies.
The Democrats say GOP is 'the party of the rich' and self describe the Democratic party as the party for the poor.
In the south, the poor areas vote bigly for the Democratic party.
Correct. That can easily be verified by matching areas with high poverty rates with their election results.
Based purely on self-interest. Lower wage earners should vote for the party that would help them the most economically like the Democrats.
How are they being "helped" economically? Most of them remain poor. And that's by design to keep them voting Dem. Dems couldn't win elections without an underclass that's deliberately kept permanently poor.
LBJ after expanding welfare said, " I will have those Ni**ers voting democrat for the next 200 years!"
LBJ bought their vote with tax payer monies.
I'm no fan of LBJ, but, I do not think he ever uttered those words, at least not so that they would be recorded.
