Like one of your articles showed, the black vote started to change with the New Deal. You are correct. Your article also states why it shifted as blacks were affected more by the economic collapse. This continued and led to a shift in family make up within the black community. Democrats wanted to reward single motherhood incentivizing generational welfare and the collapse of the African-American family (don’t worry, whites have also been incentivized but just not at the same rate) doesn’t mean that Republicans ever changed. The Republicans were simply voting on freedom, as they usually do.Regardless when the shift started. Republicans were still getting their share of the black vote up until the 60s. Dwight E got like 40% of it in the 56 Pres election and Nixon got a 1/3 of it with Jackie Robinson stumping for him in the 60 election. And your numbers are slightly off far as CR votes. Rep voted 30/32 yay or 93.75% and Dem 47/63 yay or 74.6%. More telling though than either percentage and the real turning point some would opine far as blacks leaving the Rep party despite that 93.75% yay vote. Was in 1964 the Rep nominated for Pres one of the few who didn't vote yay on CR that being Barry Goldwater.
As for the numbers of the Civil Rights Act, the Senate version was 46-21 (69-31%) Democrat and Republican was 27-6 (82-18%). The House was Democrat 153-91(63-37%) and Republican was 136-35 (80-20%).
Can you show me who promised 40 acres and a mule and explain how they had any authority to promise that?Of note:
I'm not trying to portray Goldwater as a racist. For there's evidence to suggest he certainly wasn't, but voted no on the 64 Civil Rights bill due to other concerns. Goldwater’s vote against Civil Rights Act of 1964 unfairly branded him a racist
And speaking of the remark attributed to LBJ and the 100 year vote. It was close to 100 years when a Rep Gov't pumped that 40 acres and a mule bullshit to former slaves to get them to join the Union. That's a promise that's never been kept and some would opine much more a debt that's still owed than a reparation that's handed out. And if it truly was the 64 nomination of Goldwater that was the biggest or final trigger leading to blacks joining the Dem party. One could once again opine that Reps got their 100 years of service from black folks.
Is she not “black enough?“. Does she not meet your standards of blackness? Again, not all black people think alike, surprising to a bunch of democrats.Some no doubt will dismiss this article as they've dismissed all reasoning n proposals concerning reparations, but others may find it of interest. To me I see it as just part of the habitual and systematic operation of institutional racism at work Juneteenth and the Broken Promise of “40 Acres and a Mule”
Oh, and fuck Candace Owens in her neck with her triflin chickenheaded ass.
