I would be surprised if it is true that Eisenhower received 75% of the black vote in 1956. Of course in 1956 it was hard for blacks to vote in a number of states. But it is usually thought that the major shift from Republican to Democrat took place because of the New Deal—despite FDR’s unwillingness to do much for blacks because he needed the support of segregationist Southern Democrats, blacks felt that they were benefiting from the New Deal programs, and the blacks living in Northern cities where they could vote behaved like immigrant groups had behaved—seeing the Democrats as the ones who would help them.

Eisenhower was a quarter black. More black than Obozo who is mostly Arab. Eisenhower was our own natural born citizen black and not a foreign invader.
