and today's northeastern dominated Democratic Party is the same old southern, "state-rights", socially conservative Dixiecrat Party of the past....
Please explain why the South started becoming increasingly Republican starting especially after 1964? Which were the two candidates? Which one was the liberal and which one was the conservative? Which one of for "state-rights" and which one supported civil rights?
Maybe once you learn you will understand why black people, the ACLU, NAACP, CORE, AFL-CLO, ADA, SNCC, SCLC, and the rest of the groups that fought for civil rights in 60s are solidly with Democrats today.

Those minorities that are with the Democrat party are mostly voting that way because they believe the Democrat rhetoric, empty though it is...it is interesting to see that, as more members of minority groups come to understand the system in America, they migrate to conservativism.

Those groups are solidly with Democrats because they all stand for something that the Republicans do not: special treatment based on race or religion.
You think the ACLU is for equality? Think again. Equality has nothing to do with the gay marriage issue, or banning christian religious observances while allowing anything from Agnostic services to Wiccan.
NAACP for equality? Think so? Then why does that stand for the Nationall Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and hasn't been changed to National Association for Equality for All?
AFLCIO doesn't give a rip about anyone but their own union jobs. They don't even give a damn about their members. Go meet some face to face sometime, you'll find out the truth.
I will give you this, I'm sure there are a lot of Republicans that regret Lincoln's decision to order the illegal invasion of Virginia. Had the Union not been held together by force, they'd have reached a nonviolent solution (something Democrats love, isn't it?) and we'd probably have a much more manageable federal government today.

Where do the majority of Blacks live in America? THE SOUTH. If it was a seat of racism they would leave. Instead they flee the corrupt and binding liberal north.

Huh... So the only Republicans in the entire country are in the South?

They aren't as solidly democratic as you portray. Why the name calling? We are all Americans.
