Lincoln was a Republican who was not so much for blacks as he was for keeping the union together.
I fail to see what FDR or JFK did for black people.
I will give credit to LBJ however.
And, by liberals helping blacks I'm not sure how we define that. In what way? Increasing welfare? Promoting reverse racism through Affirmative Action policies, thereby INCREASING resentment and racism from whites? I'm not sure the blacks have been served well by either party to be quite frank.
