I'm sure there's somewhere on the Internet (or maybe many places) where you could find out when the shift started, if you're really interested. The article I linked to provides some information as it relates to the NAACP and Congress.
As a youngster someone told me that the Democrats
are for the little guy. Therefore, I decided that I must be a Democrat. I was a true Democrat until I was about nine years old and I figured out that not only were the Democrats not for the little guy but they definitely were not for me, a black person. I was nine years old in 1968, this was the year that Rev. King was assassinated and Pres. Nixon was elected. It was the Democratic Party in the south that Rev. King was fighting. He fought against segregationists like Democratic Georgia Governor Lester Maddox
, Alabama Governor George Wallace
and Democratic Public Safety Commissioner Eugene "Bull" Connor
in Birmingham who was the man that released dogs and used skin scorching fire hoses against blacks.
Since no one in this discussion is black (that I know of) and there are very few blacks who live in our area, I'm not sure why this is even under discussion (regurgitation).
Hey, that was written by a black man. It is a black man's point of view of recent history (pertinent to archer). Can we not let him express his opinion?
Here is some more of what he has to say:
Encouraged by the likes of Jesse Jackson more blacks voted Democrat. Because of Democratic social programs more black men left the home in order to let the government send money to take care of his family. He planted his seed far and wide and when the seed was rejected because the planter would be absent, our precious babies were aborted in the millions, all federally funded by Democratic social engineering.
Republicans kept offering a hand up and Democrats a handout. Handouts being easier they were accepted over a hand up. Even blacks that did not take handouts were glad that they were there so they wouldn't have to be responsible for their brothers and sisters. They voted and still vote to keep government handouts going because it is easier than arguing with those who won’t work or taking care of those who can’t. This is a syndrome that has affected all of our society and the Democratic Party has solidified its base of those who want government to be responsible instead of being responsible themselves.
Why do blacks vote Democrat
, because there are so few responsible black men! Many blacks have been duped into a paternalistic psychological slavery
where to be taken care of by the government is encouraged, freedom of thought is discouraged and to be different from the group is not tolerated. Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice and Michael Steele along with other Black Republicans are repudiated because they stand for responsibility and freedom, they are not on the Paternalistic Psychological Plantation.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Democrat put it this way, "Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of." This is a statement recorded in the July 12, 2009 edition of the New York Times.
