Please go to google and type “Lyndon Johnson” followed by “Civil Rights”.
Then consult google by typing “Richard Nixon” and “Southern Strategy” in the same search.
Black folks know that history intimately. They have voted for the Democratic Party overwhelmingly - in the North and South both - for half a century based on that history. Or do you really think that you have some special, hidden insight into the truth, and 94 percent of African-Americans have been “tricked” into supporting the wrong political party?
