Racism in the south?

Are you fucking serious?

So the point here is that they suddenly realized he was black?

Who said that there are no Democrats that are racist? I've never heard that said.

However, I have heard it said that the vast majority of the Dixiecrats (Southern Conservative Democrats, the ones you like to point to as obstructing civil rights legislation) left for the Republican Party. So although there still are some isolated pockets, the vast majority are in your Grand Old Party now.

Youre beginning to sound a lot like LeJackass.
1. Set up strawman
2. Beat strawman
3. Declare victory!

Meanwhile CJ is probably laughing at your idiocy almost as hard as I am.

That isn't how he told it. I've posted about racists in the Democrat Party in the past and the response has always been the bullshit assertion that they've moved into the Republican Party as a result of Nixon's alleged "Southern Strategy."

*laugh*
You do know that is precisely when the Dixiecrats moved into the GOP right? Nixon's Southern Strategy played on cracks he saw in the "solid South" traditional Democratic strongholds by playing on racial tensions.

I refuse to believe that he or anyone else here (with more than three brain cells to rub together, so that leaves out LeJackass and his ilk) has said that there are no racists in the Democratic Party.

Hell look at the electoral map before and after, I've posted them before.

Wow, it's almost as if the parties completely changed alignment...

Nixon and Atwater were not 100 percent successful.

And there were and are plenty of southern Replicans with nary a racist bone.

So?

Ahahahahahaha, apparently so, and a bevy of racists in the Democrat party as well...you're so much fun CJ.

That's not inconsistent with the Strom Thurmond, the Dixiecrats, the Southern Strategy, and Lee Atwater.

And it's not inconsistent with this: http://articles.businessinsider.com...-interracial-marriage-mississippi-republicans

Many of them, by way of the American Independent Party. When George Wallace ran an independent presidential bid in 1968, he won in Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia, all "Solid South" for the Dems previously. When Nixon ran on a "Southern Strategy" in 1972, he picked up those votes. And now the party of Abraham Lincoln is the party of Jefferson Davis, the white conservative Southern vote is its base.

Anyone running against the most liberal democrat ever nominated could have picked up these votes in 1972.

All I'm saying is the party of slavery, Jim Crow, Segregation, the KKK, is alive and kicking.

And in control of the HoR.
