Quite a view you have there that certainly doesn't brand you as someone who is part of the solution. It also doesn't address the topic.
blacks were always republicans up until the 60's when blacks started to cross over into the democrat party as democrats started doing more stuff for us. alot of the democrats the racist ones eitherhad to adopt to the new, and or retired or switched to the republican party bringing their conservative ideas(jesse helms) helms himself never thought he'd be a republican.

ronald reagan was also a democrat" he said that "i didnt leave the democrat party the democrat party left me."

since the 60's blacks have been democrats and republicans mainkly adopted the pre 60's democrat ways, speaking of state rights which democrats ofthe 50's boasted about to continue segregation and or jim crow. states rights has subliminals inside of it which is why white people in the south loved candidates who spoke on states rights

Only in your warped mind.

Blacks were never Republicans. Southern conservatives had to run as Democrats because Republicans could not get elected in any southern state by whites due to lingering hostility from the Civil War.

That's right. Black Republicans have always been labeled "race traitors" and ostracized by the black community.

Well since you are a white male democrat many would put you in the same above category.

The exact opposite is true. Former slaves wouldn't be in the party of their enslavers. They would vote with the party that freed them. Lincoln was a Republican. Martin Luther King senior was a lifelong Republican. Blacks didn't start voting for Democrats until Franklin Roosevelt. It would take just a little reading to find out how wrong you are...just a little.

-if that were true which is, we also wouldnt be in the party that behave hypocritically as well, it was illegal for blacks to migrate into northern states and these laws were passed by republicans...

-lincoln was a republican true but his party by no means reflect republicans today. also lincoln had an agenda to deport africans out of america into haiti, africa and s and central america. he also supported illionis black code laws while being outraged buy the southern ones.

-mlk senior was a lifelong republican thats true but most blacks were until conservative democrats changed parties along with displayed racism the republicans showed...

-regarding roosevelt thats true, and from then on, there has been an rogue democrat party formed by black and white ppl called freedom democrats from mississipi.

but lyndon b johnson sealed it.......with voting rights of 65
