Why are most Black people Democrats? (A Lesson in History)
Some of you wonder why a Black person that professes to be a Christian is a Democrat? Let me give you a history lesson, years ago most Black people were republican believe it or not, of course Lincoln was a Republican as we all know, and too many's dismay even Martin Luther King was a once a Republican, most whites in the south were Democ...rats also called DIXIECRATS, when the civil rights movement started which is not just about de-segragation but severe inhuman treatment of blacks in the south (lynchings, not being allowed to vote, separate and inequal schools, being denied the ability to attend colleges) . When president Johnson decided to END segregation and allow voting rights. The GOP took up with the "states Rights" mantra th...at would protect the states rights to keep doing inhuman things to Blacks, so there was a MASS exodus from the GOP, the abortion issue wasn't even an issue then...THE ISSUE WAS HUMAN RIGHTS....not GAY RIGHTS....HUMAN RIGHTS. Believe it or not most Black people over 40 especially are VERY conservative but the GOP siding with racist policies cause Blacks to not embrace them. As far as patriotism goes Blacks served in the military in every war only to come home and NOT be treated equal. My grandfather served in WWI, my father and uncles in WWII, my brother in Vietnam, me in Somalia and Desert Storm, and my Nephew in Iraq....so I hope this has be helpful to make you understand where I am coming from.See More
