AFAIK, Ike won a majority of that vote, and Nixon got the last highest Republican vote total at 20 something percent.

That would make my point that since 68, Republicans have bled black voters, not sure about Ronald Reagan though.

Ike won 39% of the Black vote in 1956, with the surprise endorsement of Adam Clayton Powell. Nixon won about 32% of Blacks in 1960. After that it was the Goldwater debacle and all down hill.
