Are blacks finally starting to realize that Democrats have lead them along all that time, promising free shit for votes?

Lt me quote few paragraphs from a book I am reading:

>Democrats made the black leaders a tempting offer. In effect, the Democrats said to them: You may now be free, but what does freedom really amount to? Life for the free black means unemployment and insecurity. This is the “freedom” the Republicans are offering you.
...

> Remember life on the plantation? True, the work was excruciating and unending and you didn’t get paid for it. But in other respects, it wasn’t so bad. We (edit: Democrats) gave you food and a place to live. If you got sick, we called the doctor. We looked after you in your old age. We took care of the children, even when they were too young to work. Plantation life wasn’t much, to be sure, but it was better than living in starvation and fear.

> So here’s our (edit: Democrats) deal. We’ll give you a living, and you don’t even have to work for it. In fact, we’d prefer you didn’t work. If you worked and earned money, we’d have to stop paying you. We’d rather have you dependent on us. We’ll look after you, and have other people pay for it. We just want one thing in exchange. You must keep voting for us so that we can keep getting you stuff for free. What do you say?

>The answer was yes. This is why blacks—many of them deeply reluctant to leave the party of Lincoln and join the party of the Ku Klux Klan—became Democrats. The black leadership made a Faustian bargain—they sold their souls to the progressives for cash benefits. They traded emancipation and freedom—the right to determine one’s own destiny—for secure dependence on the progressive state. Blacks returned to a new type of plantation run by the same people who used to run the old ones.

Maybe AOC hasn't been subjected to quite the full force of right-wing propaganda (eg, they haven't made full-blown books and movies to smear her yet), but she is receiving a lot more attention from the right (and from the left) than a 29-year-old freshman Representative with no legislative accomplishments should warrant. My right-wing family members post memes about AOC on Facebook every week or so, and they don't even live in her state. AOC is clearly the new target "It Girl" for the GOP.
