Don't follow the crowd do what you feel is right in your heart and soul. 80% of black people voted for Democrat John Kennedy, but baseball great Jackie Robinson didn't follow the crowd he endorsed and supported Republican Richard Nixon for president.

Didn't Richard Nixon used to call Blacks niggers like he lost his mind?

If my memory serves wasn't Nixon a neo-Republican? A Republican who went into office AFTER 1964? That says something. He also was the first and only President to resign from office. That says something else. He also sent us to Vietnam. That says a whole bunch.

Jackie Robinson was a fine baseball player. Sadly he sucked at picking worthwhile candidates to back.

LOL. Aint Black Repub the same nigga who criticized Obama for killing "thousands" (LOL) in Libya?

I guess he preferred us niggas getting drafted into a pointless war, and having lives ruined.

Figures.

Both men came from a generation when the liberal party at the time was the Republican party. Blacks back then were republicans. When those pictures were taken, the south was still segregated. If both men were alive today the pictures you would see would be of them shaking the hand of Barack Obama. And John Kennedy was a liberal.

Wrong

1. 80% of black voters voted for John Kennedy

2. But baseball great Jackie Robinson and Olympic star Jesse Owens voted for Republican Richard Nixon.
