The civil rights records of the two parties could not be more different. -
The Supreme Court under Earl Warren, a Republican, struck down the 'separate but equal' doctrine
.
When Governor Wallace, a democrat stood in the schoolhouse door, President Eisenhower, a Republican, sent in the troops to integrate the University of Alabama.

When the KKK and their like, with a distinguished Democrat leader, Robert Byrd of West Virginia, tried to terrorize the African American community, Eisenhower again sent in the troops and the justice department.

When LBJ, a Democrat, wanted civil rights legislation passed, it was the Democrats who tried to filibuster the bill only to lose to overwhelming Republican support.

The decision by an increasing by an increasing number of African-Americans means that they are moving from unquestioning support of the Democratic party and are starting to look at the facts. It is the Democrats that stand against school choice, the single most effective to break the cycle of poverty, and the Republicans who support it. One party is working for the good of the African-American community, the Republicans and the Democrats are working against it.

I look forward to the day when 'liberals' such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson can no longer play the race card.
