Democrat Party
Civil War
Democrat’s leaders controlled
the South (supported slavery)
Republicans leaders controlled
the North (wanted to abolish it)
After the Civil War
Southern States controlled
by Democrats changed laws to make it impossible for Blacks to vote or have
rights
Ku Klux Klan created by Democrats to:
Overthrow Republican State
governments
Attack religion
Attack the Civil Rights
Movement
Democrats pass the Jim Crow laws – segregation
20th Century
NAACP started by white Republican Jewish American men
and women
Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt establishes
the Welfare State
Basically a program where
blacks and other minority groups are enticed to get free money by not contributing
to society (similar to a deal with the Native Americans)
1964 Civil Rights Act
Democrat members of
Congress opposed it and tried to stop its passing. Republicans members of
Congress fought for it
President Kennedy and
President Johnson (both Democrats, worked mainly with Republican members of
Congress to pass it)
Martin Luther King Jr. (Republican)
Democrat members wanted him
arrested and silence
Republicans supported him
and his activates
Ghettos
In cities where Democrats
control all forms of government, areas are created for only Blacks to live in
(similar to places Jewish people were segregated to by the Nazi’s)
These areas were purposely
kept inadequate than other areas of the city. Schools, Police, Fire and other
city services budgets were limited in these areas.
Since the 1973 Roe vs Wade
verdict, abortion programs were originally focused on black women
Many areas like Baltimore,
Philadelphia and Ferguson have these types of Ghettos and are controlled by the
Democrat leaders.
Democrat leaders have little
to no programs to stop the 97% black homicide violence towards other blacks in
these types of cities.
Question:
Why do African Americans vote for the Democrat party?
