When you examine the black vote, it is even worse than you think, Roosevelt permanently bought them off in one single election, the switch took place that election and has never gone back.
There was no gradual political movement or political growth, it was an open purchase, and it flipped them completely.
By the way, next to blacks is the Jewish vote, about a 100 year average of 75% liberal hitting 90% several times, I have never found a Jewish vote for an American president, they are much worse than Hispanics, or even homosexuals, and even worse than Catholic Hispanics.

In 1936 there was no legalized abortion and no movement to create "gay marriage." As I said, it isn't the economic issues that surprise me. It's the fact that all mainstream Black politicians bought into the radical, unheard of ideologies spawned from the Sixties, and there was no line they were unwilling to cross.
