Well, frankly, although blacks are beginning to mutter and complain about how they have been treated, 95% of them are still voting for Democrats, the highest percentage ever. As long as they just mutter and complain, or even if some of them stay home, the Democrats will still take them for granted. Until they actually do something about it, these complaints don't mean a whole lot.

Let me use change a few words so they would have been true in 1956

Well, frankly, although blacks are beginning to mutter and complain about how they have been treated, 95% of them are still voting for Republicans, the highest percentage ever. As long as they just mutter and complain, or even if some of them stay home, the Republicans will still take them for granted. Until they actually do something about it, these complaints don't mean a whole lot.

Until 1968 nearly all Blacks that could vote voted for Republicans. Every governor, every sheriff with a water hose, evrey state trooper that kept blacks from registering to vote in the south was a DEMOCRAT. Blacks voted for the party of Lincoln. The Democrats were the party of segregated south. It was only in the north outside inner cities that Blacks could vote. LBJ made Blacks into Demorats in less than 5 years.
