    That's the truth? And once those old Dixiecrats die off, there won't be any more racists? Or are you claiming that the Democratic party is still the party of the Klan and White separatists?

    I'm confused. Why are so many Democrats protesting against old symbols of slavery and racism such as the statues and the Rebel flag? I thought racists loved those things. And why are those racist Democrats trying to unite the right?

    I'm also a bit skeptical. First of all, pointing back to the Democratic party that existed in the 60s and claiming that it's unchanged today is quite amusing. I wonder why so many more Blacks are Democrats instead of Republican. Not only that, but we're expected to agree with that simply because people say it's the truth. Wow.

    Well they weren't harped on about Trump being a racist. Clearly they weren't in the news everyday and for the time he was donating to the Demos, huh?

    Can you please point me to those polls? I'm always interested in the methodology of polls.

    "Southern Strategy" completely, utterly and irrefutably debunked by myself and others here in looooong threads. Every aspect of it is made up. Didn't happen. So search and read the long threads and then if you still want some very useful historical clarity on fact v fiction, make a thread. Or do what you will likely do and plop the wiki page here. Every aspect of the wiki page is a fabrication.

    The "Southern Strategy" to attract racists into the GOP never happened, and the switch of the South, that didn't truly come into fruition until the 90s, occurred due to a rather long list of reasons, none of them racial.

    I think you need to read about the GOP's Southern Strategy. It was all about whose votes the GOP were, and are, courting (hint: it wasn't people of colour and/or those involved in the civil rights struggle).

    If you are right and the Democratic Party is openly racist against whites (an assertion I think is laughable but never mind) then that absolutely supports the notion that the GOP has actively and successfully courted the traditional racist vote as part of the Southern Strategy.

    Yes of course, when the fact don't agree with you, simply declare that they are not there.

    I think if you look at the GOP from the mid-70's onward, you can see the gradual accumulation of racists and white supremacists, many recruited from Democratic Party ranks.

    Maybe so, that doesn't make what he says untrue. Besides, he was more a Obama political prisoner just like that innocent creator of the Muslim video blamed for Benghazi.

    Really who are you guys fooling? What is the point of this senseless exercise? You know how you feel about black people and black people know how the Republican party feels about them. No one believes this nonsense, not even you so why pretend? It's so confusing. You guys don't even have the good sense to pretend to hate the confederacy or its soldiers. In fact every time we talk about them you guys sound like groupies trying to get back stage.

    Obama race-agitated for eight years, and leftists cheered. Leftists are NOT credible on racial issues as they abused the playing of the politically motivated Race Card to the extent that nowadays few people BELIEVE when a leftist points a trembling finger of accusation rightward and SHRIEKS "Racist!" through their inevitably foam-flecked lips.

    Trump wasn't worth talking about before his campaign.

    Is there something unusual about people pushing books, and movies, being on TV? Of course not, so guess who's playing the race card? You.

    First sentence is irony. I think if you look at the numerous Nixon quotes from the period in national newspapers rebuking racists prior to and during his several campaigns, and the whole 40 minute Atwater interview as opposed to the "N word" cherrypick , that's enough to expose the Southern Strategy for what it is, a hoax created by the Democrats to project/deflect their own racist history. The only "evidence" of it is in a Nixon advisor's statement of -opinion-, no facts, policy statements, letters, memos, platforms, actual documentary evidence exist. What happened is that racists in the South, just like Malcolm X, changed their world view, but mostly died out. The South changed to the GOP slowly over 30-40 years, remaining Democrat in state legislatures through the 90s, because, as Reagan said "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me."

    Here are the real reasons the South left the Democrats, in no particular order 1. Greater wealth in the South, which had been poor since Reconstruction, led to more sensitivity to high taxes. 2. Democrat acceptance of Marxist/socialists. The South has always been more anti socialist than other areas of the country. 3. Abortion. Self-explanatory. 4. Abandonment of Christianity, and the rise of atheism within the Left compared to the more religious South 5. Democrat nonsupport of the military, the South remains the cradle of the military to this day. 6. Democrat stance on gun control 7. The Youth Movement, VN protests, and Democrat permissiveness of it, perceived as the party of hippies in the South. However, also, the war was perceived as a Democrat war in the South and unnecessary. Once entered, though, the South supported the military regardless. 8. Democrat expansion of the federal government, the South has always been more states' rights since the founding, and slavery was only a partial component of that. 9. Soft Democrat stances on law and order in large cities, the South learned its lesson well with respect to riots and violence in the streets during Civil Rights, and notably, you don't see that kind of thing in the South today near as much generally as the rest of the country. And when you do, it's taken very seriously as something to be prevented.

    All of the above are well-documented, noncontroversial facts of politics and political change post CRM. The "Southern Strategy" OTOH, is pure hot air.

    That's all the derail I'll post here. Again, make a thread or rather read the long preexisting threads.

    Yes, and after that also. His nefarious conduct wasn't exposed until he began his campaign.

    Ah, so the Lame Stream didn't catch any of that. Until after he began his campaign. Or they knew and didn't say anything, thinking Hillary would win, huh?
