This book was written in answer to a very important question. That question came from a group of inner-city young people who had an interest in their African American heritage, history, religion and culture. They had begun our discussion with a question about the role Christianity had played in slavery, which led to my writing the book The Trial on the Curse of Ham. But for their second question, I had no ready answer: Why are most blacks in America Democrats? Although I had opinions and suppositions, those were not enough to satisfy these thirsty minds, and I could see I would have to dig further to find the real answer. Not long after this, I received a call from my publisher. He asked if I would consider writing a book that would address the spiritual, political, cultural, and economic issues affecting African Americans? After much prayer and consultation with colleagues, I decided to take on the project. That decision led to some startling revelations regarding the relationships between Blacks and Democrats. Those revelations are documented in this book. Why are most blacks in America Democrats? You will have to answer that question yourself. After reading this book, you will understand that: For 150 years Blacks were victims of terrorist attacks by the Democrats and their Klan supporters, including lynching, beating, rapes, and mutilations On the issue of slavery, the Democrats literally gave their lives to expand it, the Republicans gave theirs lives to ban it. Many believed the Democrats had a change of heart and fell in love with Blacks. To the contrary, history reveals the Democrats didn't fall in love with Black folks, the fell in love with the black voteknowing this wouldbe their ticket into the White House. In my research, which covered the period from 1832 to 2002, I found two familiar strains running through the cultural development of the American Black: the positive and powerful role of Christianity and the little known and debilitating role of the Democrats -- from slavery through the Clinton Administration. There is also a critical analysis of our current black leadership. These conclusions may not be popular, but they are truthful, and as the Bible says "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." Why are most American blacks Democrats? An excellent question, given that: *History reveals the Republican Party has a far more impressive track record in Civil Rights legislation than the Democratic Party. *The Black Church, the most powerful institution in the African American community, has at times found itself forced to compromise its Christian values to support the Democrats' agenda.
