Not unless the Democrats do something that really ticks off African-American vote. With their vote being an essential foundation of the party, I wouldn't foresee that ever happenning. The reason why the Democrats lost the south in the 50s and 60s is because they put their belief in freedom for all americans before petty politics. The Demorat's press for civil rights alienated the south, but the Democrats didn't care if they lost a large bloc of support as long as they were doing what they believed was right. That kind of thing would never happen today, either party. That is why I believe that DC will always go Democratic

Republicans voted 138 to 34 for the Civil Rights Act. Dems voted 152-96. If the Republicans didn't support the act, it would have failed.

I suggest you research Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen. That doesn't mean wiki him.

Actually, Republicans have a much better track record on 'racial' equality.
