While it is true that in the 19th century most blacks were Republican, I don’t think that in Luther King era blacks were still Republican. If I’m not mistaken, JFK won the African American vote overwhelmingly (70%).

The “African American” vote? Please. The horrible term hadn’t even been invented then.

I haven’t read the article, but my understanding is that MLK’s father was a Republican, but later switched to Democrat. During the 1960 election, when MLK was in jail, (then) candidate JFK helped to get him released, while candidate Nixon did nothing. This is why he switched.

There have been some prominent Republicans of the 60’s and 70’s. Jackie Robinson was a Republican. Sammy Davis Jr. campaigned for Nixon.

Perhaps you noticed that not once on that website article do they use the term “African American”. Neither should anybody else, especially conservatives. It makes my gorge rise just to hear the words spoken. Even a halfwit like Whoopie Goldberg knows that she is not an “African American”.

Public school has dumbed down all races to/toward socilaism.. Captialism creates wealth, socialism uses that wealth UP.. Socialism is parasitic on any economy.. creating economic VAMPIRES..

MOST.. Blacks, Jews, and increasingly whites have brain washed.. quite throughly now..
