Why is black partisan identification so one-sidedly Democratic forty years past the Civil
Rights movement? A black/non-black political dichotomy manifests itself through one-sided
African-American partisanship. Racial consciousness and Republican hostility is the basis of the
black/non-black political dichotomy, which manifests through African-American partisanship.
Racial consciousness forced blacks to take a unique and somewhat jaundiced approach to politics
and Republican hostility to black inclusion in the political process in the 1960s followed by
antagonism toward public policy contribute to overwhelming black Democratic partisanship.
Results shown in this dissertation demonstrate that variables representing economic issues,
socioeconomic status and religiosity fail to explain partisan identification to the extent that
Hostility-Consciousness explains party identification.
