As were most black voters, until JFK and LBJ.

The Democrats were the party of slavery; Lincoln defeated them.

Democrats were the party of Jim Crow discrimination laws, and then the party of the KKK. After LBJ, the Democrats were the party of multi-generation government dependency and urban decay.
