I remember going around on Politics1 once and saw this guy. I thought to myself, "There are blacks in Vermont..and they hold office?"

Yeah, Reagan was known for alienating black voters.

More like the other way around.

Reagan courted the votes of Southern whites. That alienates black voters. Once one compares Reagan's share of the black vote with his share of the white vote (or the general) it's a stark contrast, even for a Republican.
