"...for all the racist history of the demoncrats,,,you would think present day africanamericans would know better and not overwhelmingly vote for them en mass,,, but NOOOO,,,, theres a lesson in that somewheres..."

Indeed there is a history lesson in there.

In the late sixties, as Jim Crow came tumbling down, lots of dixiecrats left the democrat party to become republicans (Trent Lott was one of them). Admitting these segregationist dixiecrats into the Party of Lincoln was a Faustian bargain that is now coming due.
