[Denice F.]

Since FDR,the party that has done the most to help integrate blacks into American society has been Democrats.Several programs and laws -desegregation of the military, voting rights, civil rights,the crushing of ‘Jim Crow’ laws,opportunity for equal education,access to good union jobs-have all been from Democratic administrations. The perception among blacks is that Republicans are the party of rich,white males.Republican icons like Nixon and Reagan based much of their support on appealing to disaffected Southern whites who felt that blacks were getting ‘uppity’ and wanted ‘special rights.’Many notorious bigots left the Democrats and joined the Republican party because the Democrats became the party of civil rights.
