yes it was....a long time ago because the Republicans were the Party of Lincoln and Reconstruction.BUT...in the 1960s, when the Democrats supported and LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act, Southern Segregationists ditched the Democrats and joined the Republicans. * Their love of Segregation overrode their loyalty to political party.You do know the KKK was started by Dems ..![]()
You didn't know this?
Bullshit. The democrats were dead set against the original civil rights act written by republicans. But they saw the riots and the turmoil so they then drafted their own bill. Kennedy LBJ were racists.
And the myth that the Dixiecrats became republicans is false as well.*
Out of the 26 Dixiecrats only 3 became republicans 23 of them went back to being democrats.*
Democrats were smart politicians and have always been better at catch phrases and re writing history but the facts are that republicans have helped blacks 1000% more than racist democrats.*
And look where blacks are now since becoming democrats.*
Before becoming democrats
From 1900 to 1954, blacks were more active than whites in the labor market. Until about 1960, black male labor force participation in every age group was equal to or greater than that of whites.
After *becoming democrats has helped blacks.*
" Black unemployment has been double that of white Americans for more than 50 years. The black youth unemployment rate is more than 40 percent nationally. In some cities, unemployment for black working-age males is more than 50 percent.
