​​In the 1964 presidential election Democrat, Lyndon Baines Johnson received 94 percent of the African American vote in his landslide rout of Barry Goldwater. It was the highest percentage of Black vote that any presidential candidate had ever received at that time. Democrats had been receiving a plurality of the Black vote since 1932, when FDR received 71 percent in his defeat of Herbert Hoover. He did about the same in his following two reelections, and Harry Truman received 77 percent in 1948. Johnson would hold that record until 2008, when Obama received a whopping 96 percent of the Black vote. Since Obama broke Johnson’s record Black support for Democrats has been in decline. Obama received 92 percent in his reelection, and Clinton received 90 percent in her 2016 defeat. Many Black voters are demanding much more in exchange for their vote in 2020. To these demands Joe Biden, the presumptive 2020 Democrat nominee, says Black voters having trouble deciding between him and his Republican opponent “ain’t Black”! Why are Biden's comments so offensive to Black voters, and will his comments help or hurt him with Black turnout in November? Join the conversation and get answers to these questions and more on According2Sam episode #61.
