I've never understood the blind, unwavering loyalty among African Americans to the democrat party. See:
George Wallace (D-GA)
Maddux, Lester (D-GA)
Faubus, Orval (D-AR)
Byrd, Robert (D-KKK)
Gore Sr., Al (D-TN)
Good, solid democrats all. </sarcasm>
Gore Sr., Al Al Gore, Sr. (D-TN)
I think Wallace was from Alabama... just ask Forrest Gump
