What have Republicans done for African-Americans lately?

[MrScorpio]

It's "racist" for 95% of Blacks to vote for Obama? They're "brainwashed" for doing so?

Bullshit.

Why should any kind of Black person (or ANY other sane person, for that matter) ever vote for any Republican in this day and age?

Notice that people like Cain never want to answer that question without replying with their standard line of bull.

1. They haven't been too good for most of us whiteys either

Except for the 0.98 percent.

2. Republicans haven't done a damn thing for African-Americans since the Emancipation Proclamation

And they joined the forces of open racism in 1876, when they made a deal with the Southerners who used to call themselves "Democrats" to end Reconstruction and allow those Southerners to create Jim Crow, simply in the name of keeping a Republican in the White House after a corrupted election result.

If the GOP after Lincoln had ever really cared about black voters, it would have passed the Anti-Lynching Law in the 1920's, when it held the presidency and overwhelming majorities in both chambers of Congress.

4. President Lincoln put in a white supremicist as his VP for his

second term to try to unite people (Andrew Johnson). Then he got assassinated.

5. The Civil RIghts Act of 1964

House of Representatives:
Democrats for: 152
Democrats against: 96
Republicans for: 138
Republicans against: 34

Senate:
Democrats for: 46
Democrats against: 21
Republicans for: 27
Republicans against: 6

But then the racist dems changed parties and took over the republican party.
