If this doesn't speak to a special kind of ignorance of what has happened since the Civil War and what has happened in regard to the demographics of the Republican and Democratic party over the last 160 years then nothing does.

You are a special kind of stupid!

Welcome back troll.

Speak for yourself. The Democratic and Republican Parties in the later 20th century, and 21st century are not the same parties they were in 1866. Sardines alluded to your ignorance of facts, why did you ignore the later histories of our two major political parties? Because it undermined 100% what you were trying to claim: that Republicans cared more for doing right by former black slaves than Democrats did. Well, eventually conservative racism won out with the Republican Party, that too is part of the party’s history.

Southern strategy - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org

The phrase "Southern strategy" refers primarily to "top down" narratives of the political realignment of the South which suggest that Republican leaders consciously appealed to many white Southerners' racial grievances to gain their support. This top-down narrative of the Southern Strategy is generally believed to be the primary force that transformed Southern politics following the civil rights era. The scholarly consensus is that racial conservatism was critical in the post–Civil Rights Act realignment of the Republican and Democratic parties,though several aspects of this view have been debated by historians and political scientists.

The perception that the Republican Party had served as the "vehicle of white supremacy in the South", particularly during the Goldwater campaign and the presidential elections of 1968 and 1972, made it difficult for the Republican Party to win back the support of black voters in the South in later years. In 2005, Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman formally apologized to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) for exploiting racial polarization to win elections and for ignoring the black vote.
