No and no.
For several decades, most African Americans have been Democrats, and tend to vote democratic. There are Republican African Americans, but they are a minority within their ethnicity.
Until the 60's or so, most white southerners were Democrat (AKA "Dixiecrats") and black southerners were Republican -- when they were allowed to register and vote at all. This was in reaction to Lincoln's having been a Republican.
Since elected Democrats, and the Democratic party tended to favor civil rights and racial equality, southern Blacks switched parties, and segregationists switched to Republian (over the next several decades).
By no means are all Caucasions Republicans. Not even close.
Members of unions long tended to be Democrats, and the split was more along economic class lines.
Now the biggest split seems to be that of rural vs. urban -- with city dwellers voting Democrat, and those in sparsely-populated areas voting Republican.
But these are general trends; there have always been exceptions.
Remember, African Americans are only about 12% of the US population -- if the two parties represented those two races, Democrats would be a minor party.

Are you asserting human beings ought to brush aside what they see interior the Republican occasion as we talk, and somewhat vote based on the coverage's of a hundred and sixty+ years in the past, whilst they had an truthfully "innovative" president that could as we talk be stated as some variety of "rabid Marxist," via cutting-edge-day Republicans? Wow, it particularly is surprising. Do you ever ask your self why you ought to flow back so far to hit upon something reliable that Republicans have performed for the comprehensive ingredient approximately individuals? now not to point out why you ought to forget approximately approximately plenty extra moderen history, like that throughout the time of their "Southern attitude" of the 60's-70's... the place Republicans blatantly capitalized on the Civil Rights flow, to deliver all the racists into their occasion?

Uh, no. Anyone who classifies "ALL" of a group as one thing or another is a moron.
As the great Winston Churchill said, "If you're not a liberal before age 30, you're heartless. If you're not a conservative after age 30, you're an idiot."
I'd rather be heartless than an idiot any day. And I like to think that there are plenty of HUMANS who believe the same way.

Nope not even close people believe what the media tells them and they vote in one way or another. The sad truth is most folks don't take the time to research the real truth before they cast their vote. I mean really how can honestly say they spent time researching voting records of the candidates before they voted (and mud slinging TV commercials don't count)... It just goes on and on and most people voted what they thought everyone else said was the right way to vote.

Obviously no. Look at Condi, and look at John Kerry. There are millions of each race that affiliate with both parties. However, there are trends.

No, but to me as a black man, there are very few things as scary as a black republican. I mean talk about out of touch. There is a reason that there are so few of them. My views might be different if they weren't so rank and file. I don't think Condi Rice even knows she is black.

First of all, to say that all of anything is something is wrong. While most of them may be, there are always exceptions to the rule.
