Sorry to be that guy but can I have a source for the claim that blacks were voting 70 percent republican in the 70's? That sounds insane to me.

Also your entire premise falls down because all populations in America have been exposed to the exact same increase in availability of welfare as blacks. Asians and whites -- despite more minor increases in social pathologies among whites in the age of the 'great society' -- do not have the same endemic levels of dysfunction as blacks. Not even remotely close.

This is just a bankrupt republican talking point so people can avoid the reality of race.

I’m not sure when exactly this changed but there was a time until fairly recently where the US political spectrum was completely reversed. Republicans (I.e the party of A Lincoln, emancipation etc) were popular with more liberal voters in the North & Democrats in the more conservative, religious South. It was Democrats who instituted & upheld segregation policies for example, which is where boomercons get their ‘the demonrats are the REAL racists!’ bs from.

So it could be true but very misleading.

I looked it up too because he's been banned. It's just total rubbish. 82% of blacks voted for Carter in 76.

Your point about the shifting ideologies of the parties in America is right but his point about Blacks is total tosh.

Thanks I tried looking it up but couldn’t find any results by race.

Maybe the switch happened more in the 60’s than the 70’s but there definitely was a time when blacks voted Republican, though as I said it doesn’t really help his argument because it was the parties that changed not the voters, blacks were still voting for their own interests & the same policies whether it was team blue or team red.
