What happened that shifted the black vote away from the Republican party? Did the black community leave the Republicans, or did the Republicans leave the black community?

Until 1936 republicans always won the black vote. In 1932 Roosevelt got 23% of the black vote, in 1936 the switch was made, and it was permanent, in 1936 Roosevelt got 71% of the black vote while the GOP got the 28%, a complete and instant, and permanent reversal.

The democrat presidential candidates never had to sweat the black vote again.

If we could get 28% of the Black vote today we’d never lose.
