As a retired old black man, I still remember the last good thing Republicans did for black people. It was in 1965.  Remember the Voting Rights Act? Current Republicans have gutted that Act. Since 1965 the GOP has set a pretty low bar for Democrats to cross to look less racist than Republicans. Every Republican president after Ike has used the Southern Strategy to get elected, appealing to white racists. That is why they have kicked off their campaigns by going to Philadelphia, Mississippi. Its other significance is being were Swerner, Goodman, and Cheney were lynched for registering black voters. The local white people love the attention. Democrats want us to vote. That is more than I can say for the majority of Republicans. Democrats are just the lesser of two evils. The GOP has become a white identity party in my opinion. Trump has been endorsed by Klansmen and Nazis. They brag that the GOP has brought them back into mainstream politics again.
