Sticks and stones baby, sticks and stones ,whatever. All i was saying was that as long as negros have had voting rights not all but most of them have voted for the party that would give them a handout. True they may have stuck with the Republican party in the early years which is understandable because the Republican party was responsible for securing their freedom "in their eyes". But after the democrats became the socialist welfare party the negros were more that happy to jump ship and go their way. which is sad because the Republican party has had a much better record on civil rights than the democrats, and they must have forgot about all the terrible things that the democrats had done to them in the past . About that you were correct without a doubt. And i will concede that my original statement was a silly generalization which i should have expounded on.

It is a tragedy to see what has happened to the Black vote but it originally went to the GOP because that party was geniunely committed to the expansion of constitutional rights not handouts.
Blacks freed from slavery had a proper claim for reparations from those who had enslaved them. Of course, the claims today are just the pandering of the poverty pimps linked to the Democrats. We need to remind them of why the initial program of 40 acres and a mule was never implemented- Democrat opposition. How much would a couple of hundred bucks invested in 1865 be worth today? A nice little chunk of change I would suspect.
