MANNING MARAB its accommodation with Reaganism forced some black leaders to rethink their entire approach to politics. For a quarter of a century, "black politics" exclusively meant Democratic politics. But what precisely had blacks gained from their faithful allegiance? Although the number of black Democrats in Congress had risen from five in 1964 to 20 in 1984, black legislators as a group had very little power. Since its founding in 1971, the Congressional Rlarlr was virtunllv io_ nored on most public policy issues by white Democratic leaders.

Few black Democrats N were elected to statewide positions, and those who sought higher public office were frequently discouraged by their party's hierarchy. By the 1980s, black votes amounted to 20 percent of the national Democratic bloc in presidential elections - yet blacks were still treated as "secondclass" citizens in their own party. Jackson's inability to solidify the Rainbow at local levels, combined with the stampede to the right by most white Democratic . leaders, has directly contributed tOj a renaissance of black Republicanism in some quarters.
