And white babies too. It's great both black and white women have that choice. Right?

Oh wait.....the gop doesn't want women to have that choice

An anti white sentiment. Essentially you are saying the gop is the party of whites.

Ok

If you take away the "white" reasons why blacks vote democrat, you're down to global warming and LGBT issues, possibly welfare. Are you saying that 90% of blacks are wild over democrats because of those issues, and "white" has nothing to do with why they vote democrat?

YOU never heard of Dixiecrats I guess and know so little about southern history; northern as well by reading what you wrote, that you're just way over your head with the subject matter.



When Did Slavery Really End in the North? — Civil Discourse

The North DID NOT go to war to free the slaves and Lincoln did not run as an abolitionist.

So you blame Republicans for slavery because of Dixiecrats? Your theory is convoluted.

Not to take the thread off topic, and perhaps better continued elsewhere, look at my posts before the last election.
Now back to our regular program.

When a black goes to the voting booth and thinks about whites in any way as they cast their vote, those would be white reasons.

Slavery, democrats did that. Jim Crowe, also democrats. Segregation, democrats. The KKK, yes you guessed it, also democrats.

Meanwhile the Republican party was founded to end slavery, and led by Abraham Lincoln.

In today's America, on college campuses the democrats have reintroduced segregation, having all black graduation ceremonies, so that evil whites will not spoil the event.

The Republican party currently looks nothing like Lincoln s party.

This OP looks like a bunch of rhetoric to hopefully influence the black vote 2020.

Here is just one example of how Republicams support minorities:
Endless voter suppression along with gerimandering.

Using old outdated political policies to influence today's voters is disingenuous

Historical facts
African-Americans heard the message that was intended to be heard. Which was that Goldwater and the Goldwater wing of the Republican party were opposed not only to the Civil Rights Act, but to the civil rights movement, in large part, as well.

They are addicted to welfare. Which is what destroys them. The Demon Rats take advantage of them.

So black people are addicts that can not control themselves and can not vote in their best interest?

Is that correct?

No idea what that means
 
Have read every page of this thread -- all I can say is WTF!! The historical ignorance of the OP and other posters is mind-boggling.

The OP was correct in saying the GOP was founded on opposition to slavery BUT not so much on the abolition of slavery, it was more on the expansion of slavery outside of the mainly agricultural Southern states into the new West.

Republican Party - HISTORY

In the 1850s, the issue of slavery—and its extension into new territories and states joining the Union—ripped apart these political coalitions. During this volatile period, new political parties briefly surfaced, including the Free Soil and the American (Know-Nothing) parties.

In 1854, opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which would permit slavery in new U.S. territories by popular referendum, drove an antislavery coalition of Whigs, Free-Soilers, Americans and disgruntled Democrats to found the new Republican Party, which held its first meeting in Ripon, Wisconsin that May. Two months later, a larger group met in Jackson, Michigan, to choose the party’s first candidates for statewide office.

The Republican goal was not to abolish slavery in the South right away, but rather to prevent its westward expansion, which they feared would lead to the domination of slaveholding interests in national politics.

In the 1860 election, a split between Southern and Northern Democrats over slavery propelled the Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln to victory, though he won only around 40 percent of the popular vote.

Following the War, during the Reconstruction period, the Republicans became more focused on big business.
During Reconstruction, Republicans would become increasingly associated with big business and financial interests in the more industrialized North. The federal government had expanded during the war (including passage of the first income tax) and Northern financiers and industrialists had greatly benefited (sounds familiar, doesn't it) from its increased spending.

As white resistance to Reconstruction solidified, these interests, rather than those of blacks in the South, became the main Republican focus, and by the mid-1870s Democratic Southern state legislatures had wiped out most of Reconstruction’s changes.

Because of the Republican Party’s association with business interests, by the early 20th century it was increasingly seen as the party of the upper-class elite.

"Reasons" are motives for voting. People have global warming reasons to vote, LBGT reasons to vote. These people vote because they have strong views on those topics. Perhaps 'racial reasons' may be a better fit than white reasons. I'm suggesting that blacks don't vote for global warming reasons, but for racial reasons.
