FactCheck.org: When did blacks start voting Democratic?
But then President Lyndon B. Johnson pushed through the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 (outlawing segregation in public places) and his eventual Republican opponent, Sen. Barry Goldwater, opposed it. Johnson got 94 percent of the black vote that year, still a record for any presidential election.
The following year Johnson signed the 1965 Voting Rights Act. No Republican presidential candidate has gotten more than 15 percent of the black vote since.
ONLY A RACIST would suggest that nearly an entire group of people are being fooled because their skin is dark.
Then what do you attribute the 90% to?
Just askin'... not trying to argue.
The shift occurred starting generally in the 1950's, most markedly around the 1964 civil rights act.
The reason it occurred is that the national Democrat leadership chose to effectively end its rather unholy alliance with Southern conservative Democrats.

As soon as I saw this story yesterday I thought, dang, the wingnuts are going to get stupid on this one.
I was right.
So its not worthy of comment?
Why did you even bother then?
Or is it that only you "enlightened" libs can do that?
Jeez.... you really are silly. It is a "messageboard" after all....

I am commenting. It's stupid to make any charges of racism in this incident. Meek's race is irrelevant.
Why is it Republicans such as CF continue to try and deny the southern strategy long after it has been admitted to have happened? Ignorance? General dishonesty? Insanity?
Here we have a black politician trying to run for office and the Democrats trying to convince him to quit! All because they don't want Hispanics to vote for Republicans. They are going to sacrifice the black vote so they don't lose the Hispanic vote. Something is not right here.
When are black people going to wake up? Don't vote Democrat because you are supposed to... Vote for the person who is going to do the best job for all people!

Thanks for proving the point.... They were told that Dems are their savior, and have for the most part just blindly followed.
Look at New Orleans, Detroit, and several other Democrat run cities and tell me where black people are living in the utopia that is "democratville".
Oh, and nevermind that Repubs were at the forefront of civil rights..... keep moving, nothing to see here.
Because some people can't read I need to post it again.
Famous LBJ Quotes
Ill have them ******* voting Democrat for the next two hundred years. -- Inside the White House, Ronald Kessler, Simon & Schuster, p. 33.
Harry McPherson remembered, And about five minutes later I heard (LBJ) say to some southerner..., Im going to have to bring up the ****** bill again. -- LBJ: Architect of American Ambition by Randall Bennett Woods, Simon & Schuster, p. 326
Son, when I appoint a ****** to the court, I want everyone to know hes a ******. (referring to his own SCOTUS pick Thurgood Marshall) LONE STAR RISING Lyndon Johnson and His Times, 1908-1960. By Robert Dallek
So there's no confusion, this is the "LBJ" I'm referring to and quoting.

They blindly follow because they're too stupid to figure out what you think you have figured out?
Now why would that be? What would it be about black people, as a group, that would make them all so stupid,
as you are claiming?
Johnson's actions spoke louder than his words, and black Americans were smart enough to figure that out.
As opposed to CONSERVATIVE ICONS like Goldwater, who talked nice, but tried to keep black Americans segregated.
Which would you choose, Frank, the foul mouthed guy who fought for your rights, or Mr. Nice Guy who stuck it in your ass?

Daing.... just when I thought you could'nt look any sillier!
The right will NEVER gain significant precentage of teh black vote until they stop insulting black people and calling them stupid for voting Democratic.
They need to give Black Americans real reasons to vote for them instead being assholes to them.
Why is it the right is so stupid about this subject at every turn?

Get back to me when ya have a point to make... until then YOU just make your self look stupid.
Im only pointing out what you and others are saying about them.... I for one know way too many smart intelligent black people and NO, they are'nt all dems.
Guess they are the 10%'ers?
Just exactly what has the Democrats ever done for them?
Umm didn't Johnson sign the equal rights bill?
Actually Eisenhower tried to get it passed nearly a decade earlier and Johnson put road blocks up and it was finally passed during his term.
Nice try though....
