In actuality, had that percentage held after 1956, there would’ve been no JFK in 1960 (hence, LBJ’s ascension wouldn’t have occurred, or the ‘64 Dem landslide), no Carter in ‘76, indeed, there would’ve been no Democrat elected President after Truman in 1948, that’s just how dramatic it would be. Imagine how much different this country would be today, and for the better. No federal destruction of the Black family via misguided anti-poverty/welfare programs, no lowest-common-denominator garbage from the culture/entertainment community (i.e. hip-hop/rap/gangsta, et al). A likely fully integrated, successful and flourishing and strong Black community (and families), completely and thoroughly mainstream to the nation, the dream of early Black leaders (Booker T. Washington, etc) finally realized. Imagine what that America would look like...
That's why Colin Powell got a pass but Justice Thomas got roasted
It also could be some residual white liberal guilt for destroying the black family literally (aka abortion) and figuratively (high illigitimacy,crime, illiteracy rates, low marriage, education and achievement rates)
The dems and liberals have NEVER been friends of mine... in fact Malcolm X himself, warned black folks about the dangers of liberals and liberalism
That applies to the Catholic vote as well, Protestants have only voted Democrat 3 times in modern history 1932, 1936, and 1964.
