In more recent decades most African-Americans voted Democrat, so one must suppose . . .
Let's stop right there. Your suppositions just won't hold up.
You and D’Souza should leave playing the Race Card to Brother Sharpton and the professional, white Race Card players at SPLC.
A better narrative to promote conservatism: the 10th amendment, the 10 commandments, and Jesus’ Golden Rule.
There is no telling how many voters, black and white, Republicans could attract if the party distinguished right from wrong and proclaimed the difference.
No, not just "supposition", it's a simple fact: today African-Americans consider Democrats, at worst, the lesser of two evils and at best the party which best represents their interests.
But for many decades after 1865 Democrats were correctly understood to be the party of slavery, secession, Civil War, black codes, Jim Crow, KKK-type enforcers, etc., etc.
During those decades blacks correctly understood Republicans were the party of emancipation, abolition, freedom & full citizenship, etc.
Those are facts, not "suppositions" or muddleheaded D'Souza mistakes.

Sorry, FRiend, but that "race card" is all yours -- you own it, you defend it, you play it every time you post lies supporting the Confederacy and Southern Democrats.

Sure, and also the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, all as originally intended.

Sure, but "right from wrong" cannot, will not ever include defending 1860s era slavers' war of secession or post 1876 white-supremacists' Jim Crow, etc., period, full stop, end of the line for you buddy, if you can't quite figure that out.
