Why did Blacks stop voting Republican?
Remember Blacks voted massively for Eisenhower - why the sudden change?
The Republican party needs to figure out the answer to this question and act on it - or risk being a permanent minority party.
The demographic profile of America is changing.
In 1960 Nixon only got a third of the black vote, despite the fact that he was part of the administration that put Earl Warren on the Supreme Court and sent troops into Little Rock. Two-thirds of blacks voted for the Dems, even though LBJ (who had a long history of opposing civil rights legislation) was on the ticket.
The vast majority of Republicans voted for every piece of civil rights legislation, and it didn’t do one bit of good once the Dems offered up hundreds of billions of dollars in social programs.
They were bought off -- with government handouts.
