Seeing as republicans freed slaved from Democrats....Republicans created the NAACP....Republicans continuously pushed for EQUAL treatment of Minorities which democrats like Wilson and FDR reversed...There is no history of democrats doing anything good for minorities....Hell even with the passage of the 1964 civil rights act which wouldn't have passed if it wasn't for republicans because the majority of democrats voted no was only signed be LBJ so he could "Get those ******* voting democrat for 200 years".
This is why the progressives wanted our schools under their control.....Even our Black President is nothing more then a puppet to the rich white democrats.
If you have to go back more than 50 years to find the last time your party helped minorities, that is nothing to brag about.
I agree, but here is the thing....what have the democrats done?
So here is the thing.....it's a complex issue, but liberals have put out all this bullshit and did it by buying off black leaders (aka the minsters).
Now look at Richard Nixon. He was accused of passing shit that hurt blacks to help him win the south....aka the Southern Strategy (Which I call bullshit)....yet he passed many Affirmative action programs and gets no credit for it...hmmmmm
Now the next question is what is helping blacks?
For liberals it's programs that on the surface help. Affirmative action, Welfare, food stamps , public housing.
For conservatives it's getting them independent of these programs so they can live on their own.
So because we oppose these programs we're now racist? Why?

Richard Nixon Administration[edit]
For more details on this topic, see
Richard Nixon.
The strides that the Johnson presidency made in ensuring equal opportunity in the workforce were further picked up by his successor Nixon. In 1969 the Nixon administration Initiated the “Philadelphia Order”. It was regarded as the most forceful plan thus far to guarantee fair hiring practices in construction jobs. Philadelphia was selected as the test case because, as assistant secretary of labor
Arthur Fletcher explained, "
The craft unions and the construction industry are among the most egregious offenders against equal opportunity laws . . . openly hostile toward letting blacks into their closed circle." The order included definite "goals and timetables." As President Nixon asserted, "We would not impose quotas, but would require federal contractors to show 'affirmative action' to meet the goals of increasing minority employment."
[31]
It was through the Philadelphia Plan that the Nixon administration formed their adapted definition of affirmative action and became the official policy of the US government. The plan was defined as “racial goals and timetables, not quotas”

Now aint that a *****, the unions were not hiring blacks....I'm shocked, shocked. In the late 60s/early 70s......who knew?
