In recent history (perhaps last 50 years) the democratic party has represented many issues on their platform that benefit black people, and appeal to causes that often affect them- Affirmative Action, welfare, and civil liberties. Look at the record of several democratic and republican leaders: Democrat Truman ended segregation in the military, and endorsed broad civil rights initiatives, Johnson signed the civil rights act, whereas people like republican Strom Thurmond was a blatant racist that favored segregation, along with Ronnie Reagan, Trent Lott, et al. All one need to do is google to find tons of hits describing all sorts of sordid things these republicans have done and said to try to squelch rights for black people. It doesn’t take long to figure out why most black people won’t vote republican. I think its starting to change a little now, tho – because of issues like gay marriage that many very conservative religions are against – including southern baptists – which traditionally have many black members.
