The Democrats had FDR, who was a very socialist President, at least for the time. Ever since then, the Democrats have moved towards the right, which isn't a bad thing. The main problem is that there isn't a true left-wing party anymore.
I should probably clarify that Black Democrats are not, in general, far right, they're right-of-center. Of course you'll get quite a few that are left-of-center. There's nothing wrong with this, people have differing opinions on economic policy.
