Questions about politics

Can anyone explain to me why such an overwhelming percentage of African Americans vote Democrat? The Republican Party was founded on ending slavery. Remember Abraham Lincoln? In my lifetime Dwight Eisenhower sent federal troops to Arkansas to escort nine African American students to and from school every day. Each time civil rights legislation was presented, the percentage of Republicans who voted for it was always greater than the percentage of Democrats. More schools were desegregated during the presidency of Richard Nixon than in any other presidential term in history.

Do Republicans have to learn how to play to the mob? How to pretend to be extending their hand out to the little guy while taking campaign cash from the crony capitalists and union thugs? How to use Saul Alinsky tactics to pit Americans against each other on the basis of which victim groups can deliver the most votes in November?
