African American Democrats

Is there really that many black Democrats or is the liberal media portraying there are?

For example, Democrats are for ammesty and no borders which gives the rights and means for illegal aliens to come over to the U.S. take African American jobs and move them out of thier neighborhoods. Why would any African Americans support a party set on destroying them?

Yes there are that many Black Democrats, but that doesn't make them all liberal.


Would you support someone who you might agree with 60% of the time, or someone you might agree with 20% of the time?


And this seems to be more of a political issue, not sure it should be in this forum.

yeah, this should be in the political forum.

Southern Dems fought for slavery.

Southern Dems fought against mixing races in public schools.

Southern Dems were the KKK.

I honestly do not understand why any African-American would support the Dem party.

And once again, this is a political issue, it shouldn't be in this forum.

There are a lot of white Democrats.
Not all blacks are Democrats.
I know older white Democrats that only vote Democrat, even if they don't like the candidate. They have to vote their party.
I vote for the candidate I think will do whats best for my country or my area or my state. I don't vote party because I know how politics work.
Just because they are Democrat/Republican doesn't mean they will work for your best interest.

A political topic.

Moved to the proper forum.

Johnson's civil rights bill, that he passed in 64, the one that was suppose to end poverty, was all about votes! which is the same thing the dems are doing today with immigration and open borders, besides he only ask one question! why African-americans would support a party that wants to fuck them over

the Republican party was formed under the ashes of the Whig party and was formed as an slave abolitionist movement.

don't know about the blue wave, but there is indeed a black wave.

Those are the ones I know off the top of my head. You can search for how many other national, state, or local officials switched, let alone the voters who switched.

actually only 3 politicians switched parties after the civil rights bill was passed.

Strom Thurmond, September 16, 1964, 88th Congress.

Albert Watson, February–June 1965, 90th Congress.
he was noted as the last known segregationist to run for office. Watson resigned his seat as a Democrat on February 1, 1965, and then won a special election as a Republican on June 15, 1965.

Harry F. Byrd, Jr., 1970, 91 Congress - as Independent.

this one changed party later in life.
Phil Gramm, January/February 1983, 98th Congress
Gramm resigned his seat as a Democrat on January 5, 1983, and then won a special election as a Republican on February 12, 1983

the following changed party before entering congress.
Thad Cochran, 1967, ran 1st office as republican not as democrat.
Jesse Helms, 1970, ran for senate as republican in 1972.
Trent Lott, 1972, ran as republican in 1st office in 1972.
