re: "That was 150 years ago. Unfortunately, the party of Lincoln has become in 2006 the party of the rich and those people who lack color."

It would seem to me, that the party of the rich, are just as much Democrat as Republican (look at the net worth of the Kerrys, Rockefellers, Kennedys, Corzine, Buffet, Soros...). Maybe that is why the greatest disparity of wealth between occurred during the Clinton Administration (it has taken 6 years for the net value of the Forbes 400 to reach Clinton Era highs despite GDP growing about 30% in that period).

If you look where segregation is the greatest in America, it is not in the South, but the urban Northeast and places in the northern (rustbelt) urban Midwest - liberal strongholds. If you look at the West Coast, you will find that the most conservative urban areas in the far west are less segregated than the more liberal urban areas. That is today!

At the turn of the 20th Century there was a great migration of African Americans from the Democratic South to the Republican Northeast. Now at the turn of the 21st Century, there is a net migration of African Americans from the Democratic Northeast to the Republican South. African Americans may vote for Democrats during elections, but they vote with their moving vans and new addresses for the Republicans.
