    The question is- Will they ever find their way again with the VOTING MAJORITY!

    At present state- that is not likely!
    So, you're saying that the Republican Party "had their way" until 2016 when Trump caused them to "lose their way"? Interesting...

    Dismissing the source is genetic fallacy. Why is that difficult for you to understand?

    And you have not addressed my OP at all. All you did was asking me why the history of slavery isn't included on the DNC website.

    ???? Try English next time... I have no idea what you're trying to ask me.
    Once again, they were CONSERVATIVE Democrats, just like the Republicans at the time leaned left, one of the facts that those over on the right never seem to acknowledge when they try to portray the Democrat Party as racist

    Wait a minute, "blacks progressed well after slavery until LBJ?"

    So all those years or Jim Crow and "separate but equal" were the good ole days?

    The Republicans were still a functioning political party and legitimate contender before Trump led them down into a swampy sewer during his 4 years in office.

    The Republicans have lost Both houses of Congress and the Executive seat since he was elected president.

    If you can't acknowledge the damage done- then you'll only repeat your mistake again!

    It always cracks me up how desperate democrats are to erase their history. Not like their present or future is any different.

    They still progressed well in spite of those Democrat initiatives. As I said earlier, LBJ came up with a brilliant strategy to destroy the black family while getting most of them to vote Democrat.

    Democrats today have the exact same wrong-headed economic beliefs that they had when they were full-on slavers: That the rich make their wealth off of the poor.

    I'm well aware of that narrative, and unconvinced that blacks have any propensity for certain drugs over whites.

    The War on Drugs was intended for blacks.

    Again, I'm well aware of that narrative. You must be racist as all hell to think that blacks have any more propensity to drugs, or certain kinds of drugs, than whites.

    Why would you assume that about me?

    We're talking about Nixon and Reagan. Ask them.

    It's the only reasonable assumption to be made, based on your narrative. But you can still try to convince me otherwise by telling me your theory why blacks have any more propensity to drugs, or certain kinds of drugs, than whites.

    I have never made such an assumption.

    Then explain why you think that the WOD targets blacks.
