Today Americans across the country celebrate the visionary leader Martin Luther King. We can see today the vision of King coming to fruition as African Americans have risen to equal status in our society with employment, college admission, leadership positions and even to the highest levels of our government.
Looking at history and the civil rights movement, who has done more for African Americans? Republicans or Democrats?
My opinion:
Although the African American vote tends be Democrat... it has been the Republicans who voted more votes on the Civil Rights Act, it is the Republican administrations that have had the most diverse administration cabinets, it is Republicans that have been fighting to get race taken off applications in order to avoid racial profiling, it was Republican president Lincoln that the slavery in the South ended under, it is the Republicans who were the abolitionists during the Civil War... yet the Democrats pretend to maintain the party of the minority.
