On Saturday, the AP published an article describing Democrat worries about the Trump campaign team’s black outreach efforts. Democrats see that Trump is a Republican like no other, including his challenge to the Democrats’ decades’ long hold on black voters.
Democrats like to hide the fact that it was once Republican party that had the lock on black voters. The Republicans had earned that relationship. The Republican party was formed in 1854 as an abolitionist party, and it was the Republican party, under Abraham Lincoln’s leadership, that spearheaded a vast civil war to end that immoral practice.
What finally pried blacks away from the Republican party was government money. The first round of government checks came under Franklin Roosevelt. The second round came through Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society. That second round not only cemented blacks’ allegiance to the Democrat party, it also destroyed much of the black community.
Before the welfare state, blacks had made significant economic strides, with poverty dropping by almost half between 1940 and 1960 and income more than doubling between 1936 and 1959. In 1960, 78% of black children came from two-parent families. In the next sixty years, that number was turned on its head: Now, more than 70% of black children live in a single-parent home.
Children raised in those homes are more likely to be impoverished, the boys are more likely to end up in prison, and the girls are more likely to get pregnant as teenagers and repeat the single-parent cycle. Contrary to the third-wave feminist rap, men are important in a child’s life – and the Democrat-promoted welfare state made too many black men economically unnecessary.

Blacks and Democrats - A perverse History
The Republican party was founded to counter Democrat attempts to expand slavery in the United States. Historical facts clearly demonstrate that the infamous Ku Klux Klan was once the terrorist arm of the Democrat Party.
In the 1960s with the success of the Civil Rights movement forced Democrats to seek a new strategy to keep the Negroes as well as poor whites 'on the plantation'. Lyndon Johnson initiated that new strategy, and explained it to his Democrat co-conspirators when discussing the Republican Civil Rights Act of 1957.
'These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now, we've got to do something about this; we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. for if we don't move at all, then their allies [The Republicans] will line up against us and there will be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there will be no way of putting the brake on all sorts of wild legislation, it'll be reconstruction all over again' - Lyndon Johnson [ Inside the White House ] Read More
