Half the country thinks Donald Trump is a racist. HALF.

[Good1]

The Democrat party no longer represents the racist confederate south, the republican party does now

Nice little switcheroo there. But the party had to be racist to pull the switch, to explicitly pander to a voting block, while the GOP has remained the same, neither racist, nor it's close cousin, favoritist.

It's possible blacks responded, as a block, to an economic offer made to their race. The real racists are the party who made such an offer, with a good dose of deception, and continues to use blacks as mules to carry an elite class to power.

You Sir are correct.

Southern strategy


In American politics, the Southern strategy was a Republican Party electoral strategy to increase political support among white voters in the South by appealing to racism against African Americans.[1][2][3] As the civil rights movement and dismantling of Jim Crow lawsin the 1950s and 1960s visibly deepened existing racial tensions in much of the Southern United States, Republican politicians such as presidential candidate Richard Nixonand Senator Barry Goldwater developed strategies that successfully contributed to the political realignment of many white, conservative voters in the South that had traditionally supported the Democratic Party to the Republican Party.[4]

The Republican party did fight for civil rights...when they represented The Union States.


It was members of congress from the confederate states that voted against the civil rights act.Which party represents the confederate states now?

Black people know to vote against the party that represents the confederate south,they arent as stupid as you think or hope they are(- the 8% of coons like owens,tim scott ,clarence thomas etc.)They know todays republican party is not the same as Lincoln's.Lincoln's republican party did not represent the racist confederate south like todays republican party does.

This is what liberal democratic leadership looks like in the real world.

Detroits economy was dependent on the auto industry and thats the main reason for thier decline.

The confederate south has many areas the same as or worse than Detroit.

All major cities around the world that have had liberal democratic governments have destroyed all the good that conservative leadership build before them. In some occasions that have not destroyed anything since conservative leadership has never been in power, so keep staying poor where they are. That is just the truth.

Liberalism is an auto-destructive ideology. Look at Venezuela.

Look at all the successful Liberal countries around the world.

Look at all the shithole red states in The U.S. that depend on welfare from the federal government.

Those republicans are leaving the party. They are abandoning it to the Trump racists. Going to be a big problem come November.

Looked at objectively, It could never be, and never would have been, reasonable to say the Republican Party of the North and the Democrat party of the South was not racist. During the Jim Crow era the Northern Republican, and especially the Southern Democrat, redefined what racism meant -- their attitude would have been that if there is no benign interpretation of the word, then certainly they can not be racist . There can be no better concise, nor more condescending, summary of the white man's view of the Southern black man during the Jim Crow era then that found in William Alexander Percy's autobiography "Lanterns on the Levee."*

...I would say to the Negro: before demanding to be a white man socially and politically, learn to be a white man morally and intellectually -- and to the white man: the black man is our brother, a younger brother, not adult, not disciplined, but tragic, pitiful, and lovable; act as his brother and be patient. ​

This book deserves a permanent place in American Literature. A beautifully written autobiographical account of the Southern aristocrats' viewpoint. Everyone should read this book regardless of their interests, nationality, or race. If we can learn where we have been and how we got to where we are, we can figure out which road to take going forward. (As a practical matter, Percy also gives us the most authentic recipe possible for the Mint Julip.)​
