I'm very familiar with the actual history of the Reps and they have proven themselves to side with nonwhites more than the Dems. Unfortunately, the past 40 years saw minorities voting Democractic more often. I call this movement Unfounded Loyalty( based on book with same title)

The Liberals have a stranglehold on minorities by telling them that certain other people (generally the people who run businesses and Republican) want to keep them down, that is the Republicans fault that they are poor and that the only way they will ever succeed in life is by supporting the Democrats. The problem is, the way one gets ahead in this country is not by depending on the government, it's by hard work. The saddest part is that the Democrats actually have a vested interest in keeping people down, since these are the people that vote for them. So if a minority member is successful and powerful and not a Democrat, the Dems start calling them all kinds of names, saying that they are evil traitors. Very sad.
As for the proof you are all asking for, 1. The Republican Party was formed expressly to end slavery, and 2. In order to pass the Civil Rights Act, (Democrat) President Johnson had to get the Republicans to break the Senate filibuster(by Democrats) and needed Republican Senate votes to pass the bill. Some very famous Dems (i.e. Senator Robert "KKK" Byrd and Senator Al Gore, Sr for example) voted against the Civil Rights Act - study History kids, you will learn a lot more than from watching the news on Comedy Central.

You are almost getting the nail!
Group mentality Minorities who usually try to promote their group do it for the payoff that they have become accustomed to receiving for being what the Dims like to have as their payed off repressed voting block!
I doubt very seriously if Dr. Rice, Clarence Thomas, General Colin Powell and many other Americans even think of themselves as anything other than Americans!
Take away the "Special Treatment" stuff like affirmative action and Minority programs which have all far outlived their original goals and usefulness, and I would be willing to bet that the group mentality would just no longer be worth a socialized dime!

This is going to sound harsh but the Democrat has always been the rob from the rich give to the poor party. And culturally speaking the majority of beneficiares of this agenda have been minorities. The one failure of Democracy is that the people will always vote for more payments from the public treasury, they will always vote for the person who promises to give them more, this is the policy of the Democrat. You're right Republicans have given minorities more chances at self-determination, but Democrats have the better reputation because they support the welfare mentality.

There is an increasing number of "minorities" that are seeing the Democrat party as what it is, a party that wants to continue public entitlements and welfare programs to keep the poor reliant on them. Republicans have been falsely vilified by Democrats for being the "party of the rich", when it is the Democrat that is perpetuating the cycle of poverty in America. Many Black-Americans are waking up and thinking for themselves. They are seeing their "leaders" (Jackson, Sharpton, Farakhan) as the charlatans and race-profiteers that they are.

because originally the republicans were the GOP, they did good thing. they have changed, they have been usurped by bad people.
dems right now support the working class (most of whom, but not all are minorities), we support equal rights and fighting for the underdogs, ect
dems are more for minorities now, then reps

Because Republicans think only "certain types of people" can be true Americans.

People don't. Democrats do. They think that they own all members of minority groups.

Please give a link to this info. I have got to see this for myself. No, it's not wrong at all. Any person is free to make their own choice of which party to register with for themselves.
