We deal with plain and simple haters here. They are an embarrassment to real conservatives.
It drives the revisionist and haters crazy when a poster consistently uses bothersome links and facts to make points. Darn those pesky facts.Very few blacks voted democrat during FDR's tenure. Democrats were the party of slavery. Republicans were the people who crushed the party of slavery. That was still very fresh in the minds of American blacks. FDR was probably the greatest snob in presidential history. I think Truman had twice the guts FDR ever mustered. Truman and Kennedy were the last great democrat presidents. We haven't seen another since.
And for the latest edition of "This Week in Revisionist History"....

>> The election of Roosevelt in 1932 marked the beginning of a change. He got 71 percent of the black vote for president in 1936 and did nearly that well in the next two elections, according to historical figures kept by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. But even then, the number of blacks identifying themselves as Republicans was about the same as the number who thought of themselves as Democrats.
It wasn’t until Harry Truman garnered 77 percent of the black vote in 1948 that a majority of blacks reported that they thought of themselves as Democrats. Earlier that year Truman had issued an order desegregating the armed services and an executive order setting up regulations against racial bias in federal employment. << -- Factcheck.org
Gimme a second or two. I need to pop into OpenOffice and reverse everything on your graphs to represent reality. That'll settle everything. Maybe Mr. Gallup can confirm.
