The Repubs are missing a golden opportunity. MLK and most blacks used to be Repubs before the party flipped.

um… that flip was in 1927 (“the day the levees broke”), before MLK was even born; it took decades for R’s to claw their way back to 30% of blacks (most of which was Eisenhower’s doing). And then most of that 30% turned right back around after LBJ signed the civil rights act and voting right act.
