12. Afro-Americans Used To Be Reliable GOP Voters

Afro-Americans used to be reliable Republican voters until 80 years or so ago, until they realized that ultra-conservative Republicans had made alliance with reactionary anti-New Deal Southern Democrats. At that point they considered their debt to the "Party of Lincoln" paid and started to vote their interests instead.

And THAT is something you won't hear on Murdoch's Faux Noise Cable Propaganda during Black History Month.

If blue-collar Republicans ever figure out that they're getting similarly Judas-kissed, it's bye-bye GOP.
