Well, my point was more so that Republicans pushed black people away, not that Democrats have done that much to bring them in.
Democrats are more diverse, and they're fighting more issues that affect everyone.

I would say most people I know are Republicans. One on one, they're pretty good people. Some of them aren't as much, but they're generally decent.
The bigger issue is that they tend to be selective about when they care.
Quite a few of my family members are single issue pro-life voters. They don't care if people get hurt, if their one issue gets voted on.
One of my uncles was incredibly selective when he was giving credit to politicians. The good stuff that happened while Obama was president, well that's because congress was Republican. The bad stuff that happened while Trump was president, well that's because congress was Democratic.
A different uncle gave credit to Trump for something a month before he even became president.
Similar logic was given by a friend of mine. We now have a democratic governor, must be his fault that a bad policy was passed. (Even though Republicans were the ones that pushed it here, and they basically control the government due to a super majority.)
