It's like you weren't even alive in 1964, and/or have never read about what happened when our Democratic president, Lyndon B. Johnson, signed the Civil Rights Act. Up until John F. Kennedy became president, what you said was true. After Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, the stupid racist Democrats in that party, left it in droves and joined the Republican party. In return, Liberal Republicans left their own party in droves, and joined the Democratic party.
PS. Martin Luther King Jr never claimed either the Republican or Democratic Parties. He voted for the candidates he felt were most effective, and they were usually Democrats. He said that black people had been betrayed by both the Republican and Democratic parties.
