Is This Why Blacks Vote For Democrats?

Senator Ernest Hollings, Democrat - SC: Hollings is liberal Democrat Senator from South Carolina from 1966 to 2005 who is also notorious for his use of racial slurs. He rose out of the Democrat Party's segregationist wing in the 1960's as governor of South Carolina. While in office as governor, Hollings personally led the opposition to lunch counter integration in his state.

Another reformed .... it's amazing what money does to change your public values.

A little known fact of history involves the heavy opposition to the civil rights movement by several prominent Democrats . Similar historical neglect is given to the important role Republicans played in supporting the civil rights movement. A calculation of 26 major civil rights votes from 1933 through the 1960's civil rights era shows that Republicans favored civil rights in approximately 96% of the votes, whereas the Democrats opposed them in 80% of the votes! These facts are often intentionally overlooked by the left wing Democrats for obvious reasons.

Democrat Senators organized the record Senate filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Included among the organizers were several prominent and well known liberal Democrat standard bearers including:
Robert Byrd, current senator from West Virginia
J. William Fulbright, Arkansas senator and political mentor of Bill Clinton
Albert Gore Sr. , Tennessee senator, father and political mentor of Al Gore. Gore Jr. has been known to lie about his father's opposition to the Civil Rights Act.
Sam Ervin, North Carolina senator of Watergate hearings fame
Richard Russell, famed Georgia senator and later President Pro Tempore

The complete list of the 21 Democrats who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 includes Senators:

Hill and Sparkman of Alabama
Fulbright and McClellan of Arkansas
Holland and Smathers of Florida
Russell and Talmadge of Georgia
Ellender and Long of Louisiana
Eastland and Stennis of Mississippi
Ervin and Jordan of North Carolina
Johnston and Thurmond of South Carolina
Gore Sr . and Walters of Tennessee
H. Byrd and Robertson of Virginia
R. Byrd of West Virginia

No matter what the history is, you're still faced with the reality of today.

You can go on and on about the Ku Klux Klan but you're still left with the reality of today, which is the majority of blacks support democratic candidates and the democratic party.

All you have to do is look at video of the last Republican Convention to see the sea of white faces in the crowd.

Do you remember the mention of the word "brainwashed"? Does it make more sense to you now?

Not really. Unless you are trying to say, as Cain believes, millions of blacks have been brainwashed.

I give them more credit than that.

He's brainwashed.....

Isn't it interesting how the Mainstream Liberal Media isn't interested in all the dead Mexicans killed by Eric Holder?

Then you are saying that they are ignorant of history?

No, I'm not saying that. I can't speak for blacks.

You'd have to ask them.

Surely you have an opinion as to why they are almost unanimously in favor of the Democrats. It would be odd for you not to have an opinion. Let's hear it.

The link I provided explains it. I agree with the writer's conclusion.

I'm not sure how many blacks Cain is going to get on his side by insulting them as being brainwashed.
