It never did. The “southern strategy” was one of the biggest shams in political history until Obama was stated as the first “so-called black” President.
George Jefferson was a republican

he is a luciferian that is so far down the left hand path that there is no hope for him to return to the side of the righteous.
Yep.
dumbasses will make every excuse for the most racist political party in the history of this country all because they learned to use tokenism to steal votes from others.
the amount of historical knowledge of the average BGOL poster probably spans less than 12 months.

Archie Bunker was a Democrat.
George Jefferson today would be a trump voter
Or maybe he was just doing what a lot of Black people did after the civil war which was supporting the party that freed the slaves.
PRESIDENTS WHO GOT LARGE MAJORITY BLACK SUPPORT IN US HISTORY:
Abraham Lincoln (R) Lincoln is credited with ending slavery - black support
Warren Harding (R) Harding is credited with signing anti lynching laws - black support
Franklin Roosevelt (D) FDR is credited with opening up aid and jobs during the depression - black support
***Harry Truman (D) Truman ended segregation in military and ended bias in federal jobs - black support
John F. Kennedy (D) JFK gave the IMPRESSION he supported the Civil Rights Movements - black support
Lyndon B. Johnson (D) LBJ - signed Civil Rights Legislation - black support
*** Truman had issued an order desegregating the armed services and setting up regulations against racial bias in federal employment. its the reason why the black middle class was built on state and federal govt jobs thru out the 40s, 50s and 60s. It wasn't until Harry Truman garnered 77 percent of the black vote in 1948 that a majority of blacks reported that they thought of themselves as Democrats.
Civil Rights legilation is what changed the trend. The sad part is that like the Compromise of 1877...the GOP let the black vote go.
Makes sense, I don't recall too much about George Jefferson's political standing on the show, but at point in the 70s/80s Black people were pretty much all on board with the Dems so in hindsight it was probably a economic factor for him.
