>> I don’t know what the Democrats promised blacks for the 1936 election that totally and permanently reversed their entire voting history<<

It was FDR’s New Deal. It was high taxes on all but huge giveaways to the poor. It set maximum hours worked, minimum wages and lots of help for the poor.

It hurt the blacks a lot because when the TVA was set up it took huge tracks of land that had been black share croppers who didn’t get anything for the land but set them up as wards of the state basically.

Do a search and learn as much as you can about the New Deal and how it really hurt the blacks and why Obama has FDR as his hero. Both FDR and Obama will hurt the minorities more than any other group ultimately.

I would rather you do the search and show me how it explains what I pointed out in post 11 and 19.

Why were blacks the only ones that were grabbed so thoroughly, completely, and permanently, and why did they quit voting like Protestants from that moment forward (except for 1932 when Protestants voted for FDR and blacks stayed Republican)?
