Why Haven’t More Blacks Jumped the Democrat Ship?
I felt the following quote requires some further commentary...
I'm confused as to why any African American would be a Republican in this day and age.
- Robin Wright-Jones, (D) Missouri State Representative
With all due respect to Representative Wright-Jones, I can't understand why more blacks haven't jumped the Democrat ship.
Granted, with decades of vilification, I can understand why people decide to avoid the public ridicule one would be exposed to as a black Republican. While many, including former Washington D.C. mayor Marion Barry, mistakenly believe (for example) President Lincoln was a Democrat, the belief that Democrats are the real friends of blacks are built on many false premises and deliberate revisionist history.
