The last time Democrats won the white vote was 1964. 1964 also happens to be the year the civil rights act was enacted ending segregation. Draw your own conclusions.

We like to pretend that was all in the distant past and things are different now. In some ways that's true, but at the same time there are a lot of black people alive right now who weren't allowed to use the same water fountain or attend the same school as white people. It's not as far in the past as most of us like to think it is.
