Yup, It's hard pressed to find a black person over 35 who isn't pro life and anti gay marraige. As a whole, blacks are a very religious people, but they vote democrat for economic purposes. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, black people were notoriously Republican until Kennedy. MLK was in jail and asked for Nixon's help i believe, and Nixon was too busy campaigning, thinking that he didn't need to really focus on the black vote. Kennedy saw that as an opportunity, went to visit MLK in jail and black people have been voting democrat ever since.
Could be the reason JFK & MLK got killed.
