Most blacks voted republican before the new deal in the 1930’s democrats saw they could get the black vote with welfare and benefits (wow nothing has changed lol) But it was democrats that wanted to stop the Selma march.. not sure why they march it today,, so disrespectfulView attachment 311774The factory not the stadiumSo what if you're from Boston? That has nothing to do with being ignorant of history.
Your auntie told you wrong. I've been to Patriot games at Gillete stadium and never had a problem.
You should have made yourself clear in the first place.
All of those men have been dead for nearly 130 years, some were born into slavery and were the offspring of southern white slave owners.
But as evidenced by the picture, their party was apparently more diverse in the 1800's, than it is now.
Was that your point?
Obviously you are not aware of the limited access to welfare for black citizens when it was first introduced.
During the 1930's and 1940', blacks typically worked in menial jobs. Not tied to the formal workforce, they were paid in cash and “off the books,” making them ineligible for social insurance programs that called for contributions through payroll taxes from both employers and employees.
Nor did blacks fare much better under ADC during these years.
The ADC was an extension of the state-operated mothers’ pension programs, where white widows were the primary beneficiaries. The criteria for eligibility and need were state-determined, so blacks continued to be barred from full participation because the country operated under the “separate but equal” doctrine adopted by the Supreme Court in 1896.
