Approximately 90% of African American voters vote for Democrat candidates. Why such overwhelming support for Dems? The perception throughout the back community is that Republicans are racist, bigoted and anti-black, whereas Democrats are the only political party concerned with the welfare and wellbeing of black Americans. Are these perceptions of our 2 major political parties accurate? Let's take a closer look at recent history.
In 1964, the landmark Civil Righs Act was signed into law. It may surprise African Americans, as well as white Americans to know that in the House of Representitives, 79% of Republicans voted in favor of the Bill, while only 63% of Democrats voted for it. In the Senate, 21 Democrats voted no on the Civil Rights Act, yet only 6 Republicans voted against it.
Throughout the south during the 50's and 60's, all those governors standing in the doorways of public schools to block the admission of black children--those governors, like Faubus in Arkansas, and George Wallace, were all Democrats. And those sheriffs who unleashed snarling police dogs on black demonstrators, and doused them with the full force of firehoses--those sheriffs were all Democrats.
Today, cities like Detroit, Chicago, LA, Atlanta, Philadelphia, etc., are going bankrupt, riddled with drug gangs and homicides, failing school systems and corrupt politicians--every single one of those cities are run by Democrats. Please explain to me how those cities are raising the quality of life for their black inhabitants.
It is time for the black community to open its eyes, ask the tough questions and cast aside the old, tired political stereotypes. Their very survival is at stake.
The Democrats are not saviors or protectors. They are exploiters of the underclass.
