Actually, until 1964 a lot of Blacks were Republican. The Republican Party did more for Blacks then the Democratic Party ever did, until recently. In 1964, Goldwater turned down the Civil Rights Act and then was elected the candidate for that year. Then the Republicans started recruiting more and more white Southerners, who up until that point were normally Democratic (and for segregation and the like). So basically it flipped flopped. Black used to be Republican until FDR. Then the Blacks who were still Republican changed after they turned down the Civil Rights Act. And all the White Southern Democrats turned Republican. BTW- I’m also a Republican. My views are basically Republican. I don’t understand why minorities let stupid men dictate what they believe. Just because Goldwater was a racist, that doesn’t speak for all Republicans. If you have Republican views that’s your business.
