Re: Which party–the Republican or Democratic–do you think is doing the most for Negro

I'm gonna be going to the store while hungry, this is never a good thing.

I had a weird late lunch at a barbecue event, so I wasn't hungry at the normal dinner time. Now I am regretting my lack of planning.

Re: Which party–the Republican or Democratic–do you think is doing the most for Negro

Historically, this is accurate. Until the early 60s the Dumbocrats were the party of the workers and the South. They started to change their ways in the early 60s under Kennedy and Johnson. In response, the Republicans launched the "Southern Strategy," whose intent was to get all the white Southern vote by catering to racism.

It's a pretty standard Republican trope to point out their proud history and just kinda ignore the big change they made in the late 60s.
And since then the Republicans have controlled the Southern vote. Wackos and all back then and even up til the last decade or so. Who was that racist prick that ran for President or the Senate? 1990's or so.

Piggy graciously accepts your generous offer.


You can have my share of the yogurt. I'm not real good with dairy.

Y'all have Papa Johns Pizza up there? The Cinnapplepie is amazing.
lol, yes we do but not in my town...I think Brantford is the closest...that would be a bit of drive

I'm not good with dairy either...but yogurt is okay and so is cheese...

Which party–the Republican or Democratic–do you think is doing the most for Negroes?

Nope. When the law officially separates folk by race, "What's being done for your race?" is a legitimate question.

How was the Black family doing in 1960?

I don't really think there is such a thing as Americans any more. There are only a number of competing tribes.

Re: Which party–the Republican or Democratic–do you think is doing the most for Negro

How was the Black family doing in 1960?
They were the victims of official, legal, mandatory discrimination.

How is the Black family doing today?
In the White House.

When did the War on Poverty begin?
1964.

Who began the War on Poverty?
LBJ. What does this have to do with blacks?

How successful has the War on Poverty been?
Fair to middlin'. Poor folks today are better off than poor folks in '64.

The fact that you think the War on Poverty was all about blacks is so damn cute!

You can't see the forest for the trees. What percentage of Black children grew up with fathers in the same household in 1960?


In the White House.

What percentage of Black children grow up with fathers in the same household today?



Correct.


LBJ. What does this have to do with blacks?

The correct answer is the American left.


Fair to middlin'.

No govt. program that promotes family disintegration is successful.

Poor folks today are better off than poor folks in '64.

A life of dependence is not an improvement.

The fact that you think the War on Poverty was all about blacks is so damn cute!

You're assuming facts not in evidence.

Re: Which party–the Republican or Democratic–do you think is doing the most for Negro

Yeah. LBJ was a leftist.

Keep it rollin', BT. You're a hoot!

Oh, and by the way, the evidence that you think the War on Poverty was all about blacks lies in the fact that you didn't ask about non-black single mothers, a statistic that has also increased dramatically over the last 50 years. But you're clearly not concerned about that.

Re: Which party–the Republican or Democratic–do you think is doing the most for Negro

The OP asks a Lefty question, the correct question to ask is;

Which African Americans are doing the best for themselves, the ones who are Democrats or the ones who are Republicans ?
