Here is how the Democrat story line came about. After years of fighting civil rights acts for blacks LBJ, through Republican Dirkson, passes a civil rights act. This is why and what HE said:
”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.”
~Lyndon B. Johnson (Democrat)
He also said this:
President Lyndon Baines Johnson, And is “Great Society” to help the Negro… was recorded on a White House taped (and saved) conversation claiming, “I’ll have them ni...rs voting Democratic for the next two hundred years.”
What had Republicans been doing prior to this?:
“Civil rights became a critical concern during Eisenhower’s administration. In 1954 the Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, but the decision was not universally accepted. The people of the South resisted, and racial tensions mounted. In 1957 the governor of Arkansas ordered National Guard troops to prevent a group of African-American students from enrolling at an all-white high school in Little Rock. Eisenhower was forced to send federal troops to escort the new students to school. Eisenhower also proposed and signed the Civil Rights Act of 1957, which was intended to guarantee the voting rights of all African Americans. This was the first civil rights legislation to pass since Reconstruction. It was followed by the Civil Rights Act of 1960, which was an attempt to further strengthen voting rights by mandating federal inspection of local voter registration polls.”

So the story line goes that the party of Lincoln, the party that freed the slaves the party that supported every single civil rights act from the reconstruction turned on the blacks. BS.
What did the racists get for their money with Nixon?
•raised the civil rights enforcement budget 800 percent;
•doubled the budget for black colleges;
•appointed more blacks to federal posts and high positions than any president, including LBJ;
•adopted the Philadelphia Plan mandating quotas for blacks in unions, and for black scholars in colleges and universities;
•invented “Black Capitalism” (the Office of Minority Business Enterprise), raised U.S. purchases from black businesses from $9 million to $153 million, increased small business loans to minorities 1,000 percent, increased U.S. deposits in minority-owned banks 4,000 percent;
•raised the share of Southern schools that were desegregated from 10 percent to 70 percent. Wrote the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights in 1975, “It has only been since 1968 that substantial reduction of racial segregation has taken place in the South.”

Man did those racists get ripped off if they changed to the party of Lincoln thinking there would be some sort of payback.
MLK's birthday, Republican even though the cost to the country to do so was fairly large.
Now how has things changed? Well if one were to bring up Welfare reform what is the immediate reaction from those on the left? They scream racism. They are explicitly implying that welfare is for black when in fact the majority receiving welfare are white. Then they will make the claim that most of the welfare payments are for Red States which is really idiotic by I doubt they realize how much.
More evidence in their beliefs that blacks are someone only they can take care of? Biden's despicable quote:
"They're going to put y'all back in chains,"
Really, if a Republican said that in front of a black audience what do you think the outcry would be? He didn't say "we all" or "us all" he was clearly pointing out he was the superior, it wasn't him they were going to put into chains.
Don't listen to the Democrat storyline that is backed by nothing but BS. Listen to what they say and do it is clear.
