Breaking New Ground — African American Senators

To date, six African Americans have served in the United States Senate. In 1870, Hiram Revels of Mississippi became the first African American senator. Five years later, Blanche K. Bruce of Mississippi took the oath of office. It would be nearly another century, 1967, before Edward Brooke of Massachusetts followed in their historic footsteps. Carol Moseley Braun broke new ground in 1993 becoming the first African American female to serve as U.S. senator. In 2005, Barack Obama of Illinois became the fifth African American to serve and third to be popularly elected. Upon Obama’s resignation to become president, Roland Burris was appointed to fill the vacancy, becoming the sixth African American senator and the third to occupy the same Illinois Senate seat.

Hmm even by this list the first 3 African American senator were Republican and if you ask the question which party has elected the most African American senator that answer would also be Republicans as Roland Burris was appointed

In fact has that ever been an elected Republican that was a Klan or Ex Klan member?...I don't know on any off the top of my head

Sort of weird that, once popular election of senators was possible, the three blacks in that office from Illinois were all tards and Democrats.
