Ask yourself this question. Which group of people live off the sweat of others? The third, fourth and fifth generation welfare recipients who live off the public certainly have been loyal Democrats. This isn't an ethnic group, it is a group who have a way of life.

Black people. Originally they supported the Republicans, the party of Lincoln. After the New Deal, which helped African Americans, they became the most loyal group to the Democratic party. Labor unions are also very loyal and Jews were until recently but many have changed due to the anti-Semitism of people like President Carter and some of the left wing who support the Palestinians.

The CFL-CIO has been the most loyal to the nomination for any politician on State or Federal Level. Second to them would be the Federation of Teachers, NCAAP, Amer Civil Liberties Union, (Not neccesarily in that order).
In general, major cities, tend to support the Democrat in the East and West. Both areas employ (CFL-CIO) members. The relationship between the CFL-CIO and Democrates is both well documented and long-standing. This does not mean that the CFL-CIO has not and will not support any other party. It says that as the largest labor union, with the most votes it generally supports the Democrats.

Easy enough ... the African-American community has been almost completely and totally loyal and to the Democrats. It is not unusual for the Democrats to receive 90-98% of the African-American vote. They are so loyal they can be, at times, taken for granted and not given their just due for that loyalty.

For over 70 years, labor unions. Blacks did not give overwhelming support to the democrats until about 30 or 40 years ago when the southern white democrats turned Republican and Blacks in southern states, who had voted republican when they were allowed to vote, became democrats.

probably the labor unions. African-Americans really did not influence elections until well after civil rights movement of mid and late sixties.
