Do African Americans know that Democrats wanted to keep them as slaves?

Question

It's True. During the time of Abe Lincoln the republicans were trying to abolish slavery while the Democrats fought to support it. So why do so many African Americans choose to support the same people that wanted to keep them as slaves, while they call the Republicans racists?!?

Answer 5

Just because Republicans were trying to abolish slavery has nothing to do with it. For one that was 100 years ago. And for two why should it matter. Vote for whoever you feel will be a great president. No lie, I'm not voting! God these crazy questions you people ask!

Answer 6

Because everything has changed now and it's the democrats who are more in tune with the needs and concerns of black people.  The parties have basically flip flopped.

Answer 7

yeah i know. But did you know that at the time the parties were switched. the exact oppostie. Democrats were the way republicans are now and the republicans were the way democrats are now. I Learned it in history class a few days ago. You should look up your history because if you did you would know that.  Now both parties were switched. Any questions???  What do you mean by ' they'? I know your not speaking on my behalf because I know you don't know whether or not I call republicans racist. Cuz I dont.
