    one of the main reasons black people vote democrat goes all the way back to the 60’s with JFK. He started all the civil rights bills and programs that helped black people get on a equal footing with white america. This one action alone solidified loyalty for the democratic party. Whereas republicans refuse to see the inequality in this country. For example, Reagan wanted to reexamine the law that prohibited private schools that discriminate to not have tax exempt status, in other words he wanted it changed so, although these schools discriminated based on race, they should still receive the tax exempt status, thereby sending a clear message to the schools that the government thought it was okay for them to discriminate. Another more recent example is Bush Jr seeing no need for affirmative action. Most blacks and realistic whites know that there is still a need for affirmative action. So to answer your question, democrats are more willing to recognize blacks, republicans act like we don’t exist
