In recent years there has been a movement advocating direct payments to African Americans to purchase their votes with cash payments from the [[U.S. Treasury]] to keep blacks on the [[Democratic Plantation|Democrat party slave plantation]], as was done with [[Great Society]] and War on Poverty programs.
