That’s the biggest load of revisionist crap I have ever heard. It’s nothing more than the democrats trying to distance themselves from their own crappy history. The blacks left for the democrat party during the new deal, they fell for the progressive push started the by Wilson. It had nothing to do with racism. Dixiecrats left the democrats to hurt the democrats after they stopped fighting against civil rights. It was a protest vote. You couldn’t name one time the Republican Party adopted the democrats racist platform like him crow. You can’t name one republican that stood against the civil rights movement. “The “complete switch” is a complete lie. Who ended segregation? Who sent the military to escort black kids into southern public schools? I’m not attacking you personally but it’s not the first time I heard that and it’s such bullshit.

I would like to add that LBJ's 'War on poverty' really held black Americans back and they were improving before the 'War on poverty' began. A disproportionate amount of black families suffered from fatherlessness because the policies replaced the father with the state. To this day, a lot of black children still grow up without a father figure and it really hurts their futures.
