He’s forgetting that the reason Ike was able to pull 40% of the black vote is all about his vigorous enforcement of Brown v. Board.

Black people certainly have opinions on tax rates, and foreign policy, and abortion and drugs and immigration and every other thing… but the vast majority are single-issue voters on civil rights.

I would be. The question of whether or not we should have full rights in this country is black and white for most of us.
