Not to mention that the last Black Republican Congressman elected from a Black Majority district, Oscar Stanton De Priest of Chicago (1929-1935) bitterly opposed FDR’s New Deal and Socialist welfare policies, pointing out that they would utterly devastate the Black community in breeding dependence. It cost him his reelection in 1934, but he was proven 100% right.

People often do not want to hear truth. They want to hear things that sound good to them. Too many of us have become unserious people.
