Are you insinuating that the Republicans were the force that championed civil rights in the mid-1960s? Or trying to suggest that the Republican Party has done a damn thing for the cause of civil rights other than to use it as a wedge issue since 1968 until the present day? Is that what you're doing?

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?
