why did black Americans turn to Dems ?

[Widdekind]

According to H. Paul Jeffers' The Great Depression, during the Great Depression, racial tensions coincidentally flared in the south, leading to a wave of lynchings, on the eve of the election of FDR, who (with his wife) was much more accommodating to black Americans, e.g. FDR had an unofficial "Black Cabinet". In the 1932 elections, blacks turned to the Democrats, and voted for FDR. So, the economic calamity of the Great Depression, and racial violence, happened to benefit the Democratic party, including FDR ?

When the conservative Southerners turned from Democratic to Republican. Surely you know that.

FDR had a "New Deal Coalition" throughout the 1930s & 40s ? Conservatives in the South turned to the Republicans, during the culture clashes of the 'Civil Rights Movement' ?

Why do we have a black American, how about just an American. This way of thinking is a big part of our problem today. We have black spelling bee's a black cacus and you get the message. If we had a white anything all hell would break lose. Why can't we all be just Americans, equal under the law.

This is another urban myth perpetually spread by the propagandists on the left.

Southerners didn't start voting republican until many years later when businesses in the south started booming and people believed the republican party was more business friendly.

It had to do with money not race or color.

Democrats stole and butchered the original civil rights act brought to the floor by republicans. And as they always do, the democrats stole credit for a republican idea.

History of the United States Democratic Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


"The New Deal" after a phrase in Roosevelt's acceptance speech. The Democrats also swept to large majorities in both houses of Congress, and among state governors. Roosevelt altered the nature of the party, away from laissez-faire capitalism, and towards an ideology of economic regulation and insurance against hardship. Two old words took on new meanings: "Liberal" now meant a supporter of the New Deal; "conservative" meant an opponent. Conservative Democrats were outraged; led by Al Smith, they formed the American Liberty League in 1934 and counterattacked. They failed, and either retired from politics or joined the Republican Party




Under FDR, the Democratic Party became identified more closely with modern liberalism, which included the promotion of social welfare, labor unions, civil rights, and the regulation of business. The opponents, who stressed long-term growth and support for entrepreneurship and low taxes, now started calling themselves "conservatives."

It's ironic because the republican party was started as an anti slavery faction of the wig party and the ku klux klan was started to stop blacks from voting republican.

Nathan Bedford Forest...a Southern DEMOCRAT.

Abraham Lincoln...a Northern Republican who fought a war to suspend state's rights and form a stronger federal union.

Theodore Roosevelt...a Northern Republican whose policies broke up monopolies and instituted federal oversight of private business.

Conservative/Liberal is the comparison as those political ideologies are fundamental. Republican/Democrat is irrelevant once you use them in historical context to prove a point about ideological beliefs.

If Republicans were ALWAYS Conservatives and Democrats were ALWAYS Liberals, you would have a point. But such is not the case.
