I personally don't think the narrative about the Democratic party being the former slavery party is helpful because people know that's not today's Democrats, thus it affects one's credibility to make it.
But yeah, the Dem party does plenty of damage to the prospects of black people by maintaining the narrative about racism.
And though I am a conservative I don't give a hoot about the Rep party either. But I think some Rep policies would be better for disadvantaged blacks, including school choice, given the ineffectiveness of public schools. Welfare reform that incentivize marriage would be great as well. And any policy that incentivized poor young black people to gain a skill, and thus not only money but just as important, self-respect.
And nobody says this, but a vast increase in policing (not ignoring the necessity of carefully calibrated police reform) that made crime a less attractive choice in poor communities would be helpful.

Well I never said that the Democrats today are over 150 years old. The party that they derive their wealth and power is though. If speaking that truth affects my credibility to people then those aren’t the people I am trying to reach, because they are idiots, and it’s fruitless to reach idiots. I do hope though that there are enough rational and independent Americans who are capable of digesting my message, because I suspect it’s something that most of America will have to expect the Democratic Party to redeem itself for before we ever progress forward in our racial dynamics.
