In the 1850's people of conscience opposed to slavery formed the Republican party. After the North won the Civil War and slavery was banned, the KKK was founded with the intention of putting black people down. The KKK was solely Democrat. While Republicans worked to free black people and give them more rights through Reconstruction, Democrats fought tooth-and-nail, and eventually succeeded, and blacks couldn't get more rights after 1876 when Dems stopped Reconstruction for nearly 90 years. The Democrats were ardent segregationists for decades, and fought tooth and nail against civil rights. LBJ called civil rights laws in the 1950's "another godd*mned n****a bill". In 1964, the vast majority of Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act, the majority of Democrats voted against it. LBJ reluctantly passed it given public support. He said after passing it that "these black people are getting too high up and prissy. We need to find a way to put them down". And the Great Society program was formed, which caused wedlock rates and poverty to skyrocket in the black community, promoting immoral values and destruction of the family unit. Now, 90% of blacks are dependent on food stamps. It's slavery, but with big government as the master. Now, Dems court votes from black people because they've tricked them into LIKING this slavery. In the 1990's, Bill Clinton teamed up with Republicans and against most Dems to reform welfare and free these blacks from generations of slavery and dependence on government. Obama is now actively seeking to roll these reforms back, so "bed rest" and "motivational reading" counts as work.
