Well up to 1964 the majority of black voters were registered Republicans. And then something happened. The same Jim Crow, segregationist Democrat party went through deep structural change and pushed through the Voting Rights Act, Civil Rights Act, Immigration Naturalization Act.
You’re under the impression there were 2 political parties. In fact, there were 4: Northern Democrats, Norther Republicans, Southern Democrats, and Southern Republicans. Those southern democrats (Dixiecrats) left the Democratic Party and became southern Republicans. So, the party of Jim Crow is now Republican. It’s still the same people, they just switched the name plate in the door.

You're so close to getting it, almost there! This is /r/selfawarewolves level stuff. >You’re under the impression there were 2 political parties. It's not an impression, it's an objective fact. "Southern Democrats" we're not a separate party. LBJ, Carter, Clinton, Gore, etc. are Southern Democrats. Were they in a separate party? No. >Those southern democrats (Dixiecrats) left the Democratic Party and became southern Republicans. Hilariously wrong. Dixiecrats were a party for less than a year, and merged back into the Democratic Party >So, the party of Jim Crow is now Republican. Wrong, it was, and is, the Democratic Party. You need to pick up a history book, you're hilariously just delusionally inventing things that make you feel good because you're uneducated.
