Not surprising. When you are inundated with white supremacist propaganda ignorant stuff like this come out.
FYI the university at Timbuktu is older than Oxford University (the oldest university in Europe). So this idea that white people are necessary for the existence of universities is another white supremacist lie. Black people have had institutions of higher learning for longer than any white people.
And in fact if not for the Moors that ruled Spain and brought civilization back to Europe, white people would still be in the dark ages. So you can thank black Africans for bringing you the first European universities.
And in case you were wondering here is Dennis Hopper to remind you that the Moors were black. https://youtu.be/trBxPFLq__g
FYI the democratic and republican party haven't always been progressive or conservative. They've changed idelogies quite a few times. In the 1850s the republicans were actually the progressive party while the democrats were conservative.
Remember the term "conservative" means to conserve, to keep things the same, to follow tradition. While "progressive" means to progress, to move forward. To suggest the party that was fighting to keep the tradition of slavery (the democrats) were the "progressive" party and the party looking to end the tradition of slavery (the republicans) were the "conservative" party is laughable. Its obvious that at that time the conservative thing was to continue the tradition of slavery while the progressive thing was to move beyond it. To "progress".
Same thing happened during the civil rights movement. The parties flipped. The south used to be democrat and the north republican. After the democrats supported the civil rights bill, white southerners became overwhelmingly republican while the northerners became democrat. And thus the parties shifted with the republicans becoming more conservative and the democrats becoming more progressive.
If you have any questions just look how black people voted. After Lincoln they voted republican because that was the progressive party. Then the democrats supported civil rights while republicans opposed it so black folks became democrat.
We typically vote for the progressive party because we got nothing to conserve cause America hasn't been good to us in the past.
I thought Sharpton said his peeps were teaching astronomy, mathematics and building pyramids while our ancestors were still in caves..😂
The better question is where would blacks be without welfare. My bet: race relations would be better than ever for several reasons. Black people would have better economic mobility as a group. Housing projects wouldn't exist, and that in conjunction with a more economically mobile black population, would lead to more diversity in suburbs and nice neighborhoods and fewer "bad parts of town". Simply put, welfare is the plantation. Quit voting for more of it.

You believe slavery and denying people rights based on gender or ethnicity is a conservative idea? You need to learn some history. It was the progressives promoting these things. They're the ones who wanted government involved in your life (telling you who could and could not vote, enforcing slavery). They were also huge advocates of eugenics
True conservatives don't force their views on anyone because they believe in limited government. It's liberals who are arrogant enough to believe they are right about everything and therefor should force their will on the people.
As for your belief that black people were helped by welfare, you should really do some research. Here's a great place to start.

When you subsidize something you get more of it. When you subsidize poverty, you get more poverty. Welfare has destroyed black communities by making failure beneficial.
They switched because the Democratic Party no longer represented the values of the working class. They voted for Carter and the first Clinton......the one from the South .Dude no one cares about what you believe is a true conservative or not.
The reality is this. The people who most strongly identify as republican today (white southerners) were democrats before the civil rights act passed.
If you can tell me why they switched parties I'll tell you what a conservative is.
