[From The Deer Stand]

It was the Republicans who pushed for the civil rights movement while Democrats fought it but, shhhh, don't tell the Blacks.

It was the Democrats who created welfare and kept Blacks as substandard citizens living dependent in rat-infested tenements for 40 years until Republicans rescued them but, shhhh, don't tell Blacks.

Martin Luther King was a Republican but, shhhh, don't tell Blacks.

Democrats keep Blacks under their entitlement programs soley to buy votes while Republicans are eager to help Blacks become self-sufficient and have better lives but, shhhh, don't tell Blacks.

It's time Blacks are told!

The first big shuffle of blacks from the Republican party to the Democrat occurred under FDR. The second big shuffle was under LBJ. He promised them ANOTHER civil rights law ~ they bought the idea and he delivered!

They then became THE Democrat party with 40% of the voting power in the areas controlled by Democrats.

They aren't blacks anymore and haven't been for several decades ~ they are DEMOCRATS!

They are declining in power with the growth of the Hispanics, but they are not out of power yet. Whatever they're going to do about this it's not going to benefit the Republican party.
