@KingDingaLing090 Black and Black Rise- Rise of Southern Republicans
You oughta read about the 2 Great White Switches. Read about the realignment of southern conservatives. About how Reagan changed the face of racism in America in this well supported and academically endorsed book. There's other books you can read too like Ronald Reagan: A Life In Politics by Lou Canon etc.
Sometimes an issue is that simple: 2 minutes to say America is racist...especially in the South.
@pan488 Lol you are an ignorant squirt out of your father's penis. You don't have the slighest clue what you are talking about. Give me one racist policy the Republicans have ever passed.
@KingDingaLing090 Well for one: Republicans were the main opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Strom Thurmond spoke for 23 hours to filibuster it. Reagan tried to preserve the tax exempt status of Bob Jones University that forbid interracial dating. The Willie Horton Ad ran under George H.W. Bush was horribly racist. When Democrats began taking a stance for civil rights in the 60's it alienated the southern conservatives. The Republican Party absorbed these people by opposing civil rights.
@KingDingaLing090 See, the racists (Dixiecrats) walked out of the 1968 DNC and left their party. Republicans like Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon employed a new strategy where they appealed to white conservatives by taking a stance against civil rights. This led to the first Great White Switch where the southern conservatives joined the Republicans. The second Great White Switch occurred under Reagan who's rhetoric and policies echoed Goldwater and Nixon but were not as loudly racist.
@KingDingaLing090 His soft spoken manner and affable personality brought over many white moderates. Since Reagan, racism has been an undertone and not so blatant. Check out politicalsentry I have a whole article about it if you're genuinely interested in learning about it. I'll send you a link in a private message.
@pan488 Actually Republicans were the majority that passed the civil rights 80% Republican to 60% Democrat. Richard Nixon is the president who actually enforced desegragation and Barry Goldwater rejected the civil rights act due to his small government libertarian philosophy. Go look it alllll up junior.
And you still havent shown be one piece of legislation racist legislation the Republicans EVER passed.
@KingDingaLing090 Do you know what realignment theory is? Also, Nixon is on tape talking about how much he disapproves of interracial marriage...are you kidding me?
@KingDingaLing090 Theory like "theory of evolution". Nobody denies that realignment happens but there are two schools of thought. One says it happens every 50 years the other says evry 30. The fact is realignment happens. Following the Civil War, the conservative (racist) south would not vote Republican (the party of Lincoln) but that changed when the Democrats took a pro civil rights stance. That's a historical fact. Nixon actively opposed interracial marriage. Goldwater ran on segregation..
@KingDingaLing090 Regardless of what LBJ himself thought of blacks, he passed the most progressive civil rights reform in our history. Nixon, Goldwater, Thurmond, and other leading republicans of the time opposed civil rights. Their opposition led to what is known as the first Great White Switch. The southern conservative whites (racists) realigned to the Republican Party. The second Great White Switch happened under Reagan. He transformed racism into something unspoken. These are facts.
@pan488 Oh so "Regardless of LBJ"? <-- hahaha But somehow Nixon is perfectly fine huh you hypocrite. LBJ rapid and "progressive" exansion of government is widely known as a complete failure. MLK even said it was. And right... you named off Nixon, Goldwater and Thurmond again because you have no racist bill EVEEEER passed by Republicans. EVER you fag. You are stuck on the civil rights act when the majority of Republicans passed it. Lol That is all you know. Where is your source for this "switch"?
@KingDingaLing090 First off let me say I gave my source: Black &Black -Rise of Southern Republicans. If you want more just use google. Seriously, google Southern Strategy. Wikipedia it lol. Next: Who regards the Great Society as a failure? Academics consider it one of the greatest achievements in US history. What's the MLK quote? As for legislation: Arizona's SB 1070, Indiana's SB 590, Alabama's new immigration reform law, etc.
@KingDingaLing090 The fact is that the parties realigned so to say that Republicans didn't pass laws exploiting blacks is not entirely true. The southern conservative base of the party which used to be Democratic but realigned over the issue of race is responsible for Jim Crow. I cite those key Republicans because they caused the realignment. And one more thing: You want examples of Republican bigotry? You called me a "fag".
@pan488 So.. with pee wee logic... due to the idea (not a valid one) that racists from the south started voting for Republicans at some point in time, this means now that everything the Democratic party did in the past is now actually the Republican's fault? Hey coo coo brain. You are a brainwashed DRONE. lol
Those "key" Republicans? One racist Democrat switched to Republican... one libertarian jected civil rights, one Republican rejected interacial marriage, and all of a sudden PROOOF!!! LOL
@KingDingaLing090 The Republican leadership, realizing that they had a chance to finally become the majority party (the New Deal had really hurt the Republicans because it was so popular), began to adopt a new strategy: appeal to the conservative white (racist) vote. That's what they did. Not every conservative racist switched parties back then. Realignment takes YEARS thus the 2 Great White Switches. Stop denying history and read. Then you can tell me I'm wrong.
@pan488 HAhaha.. answer my question now Junior. Your ridculous sources are a political smokescreen for the most vile and disgusting hateful party in American history. You bought it because you are a little boy. One day you *should* see how stupid you were.
@pan488 How did the parties realign? What are you sniffling about Squirt? One Democrat that changed parties and lost an election? You are hanging by one tread. Nobody chose for Thurmond to change parties. And Democrats are progressive now, and they were progressive in 1965, 1945, 1935, 1925, 1915. They have always been the same race baiting pricks as they have always been!! They used to say "nigger" now they say "racist".
Explain why Robert Byrd never switched parties? Lets hear your delusions
@KingDingaLing090 You're denying history. I sent you like 10 sources. Go read. I just explained how the parties realigned. The Democrats began taking a pro civil rights (specifically civil rights) stance under Truman. this began to alienate the south. By the 1960's the party leadership was pro civil rights (JFK). After the Civil War as I said the south was solidly Democratic (and very racist) so most blacks were in fact Republicans.
Whats wrong with racism kid? Its just an idea some people hold, just because they didnt say "We are sorry" doesnt mean they dont care, maybe you forget, but nobody alive today participated in the slave trade, masters or slaves. Why would you apologize for something your parents did generations before you?
Nobody alive participated in the slave trade, but that doesn't mean people who are still alive today didn't oppose civil rights in the 60's and 70's...or even the 80's.
See, I wouldnt have a problem if racism weren't still so prevalent in the US. Solidarity starts with an apology.
2 minutes to describe racism in America? Go read a book you fuckin stooge.

Try this one out Junior: this is that 'nonracist' president that passed the civil rights speaking about the civil rights act :
“I’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years” Lyndon B. Johnson
