Evidence of the constant shift of political parties right here: 10 famous black republicans.

In this list, HuffPo puts Harriet Tubman and 50 Cent on the same plane — despite the fact that the Republican Party is a significantly different party from what it was 150 (or even 50) years ago. How did this get through the editorial grinder? There is just so much wrong with this list that we don’t even know where to start.

LL COOL J IS A REPUBLICAN!?!?!

Also, agreed.  Bad research.

Poor form.

Did they edit this recently? Because it says the party’s ideals have changed greatly, now at least. I also think they just picked historically famous black people. Did you read the one next to MLK Jr?
