Is must be nice to throw out opinions with no evidence....

Look at the history of the Democratic party
Slavery / KKK / separate but equal / Jim Crow laws / school segration / attacking black mobs with fire hoses.

Republicans
Abolitionist / reconstruction / helped many freed slaves to be elected.

To claim that the Republicans in the South are the same racist ,ignorant people who were part of the Democratic tradition is ignorant.

The Republicans from their beginning were fighting for end of slavery.

Southern strategy


In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to the Republican Party strategy of winning elections in Southern states by exploiting anti-African American racism and fears of lawlessness among Southern white voters and appealing to fears of growing federal power in social and economic matters (generally lumped under the concept of states rights). Though the "Solid South" had been a longtime Democratic Party stronghold due to the Democratic Party's defense of slavery prior to the American Civil War and segregation for a century thereafter, many white Southern Democrats stopped supporting the party following the civil rights plank of the Democratic campaign in 1948 (triggering the Dixicrats), the African-American Civil Rights Movement, the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, and desegregation.

The strategy was first adopted under future Republican President Richard Nixon in the late 1960s.[1] The strategy was successful in some regards. It contributed to the electoral realignment of Southern states to the Republican Party, but at the expense of losing more than 90 percent of black voters to the Democratic Party.

Nixon's Southern Strategy was and still is a grand success.

What I find hilarious about this right-wing revisionism and DNA nonsense about the "non-racist" Republicans is that while almost every dixiecrat in Congress voted against the Voting Rights Act, every single Southern Republican did exactly that.

Facts are stubborn things. :D

This was 40 years ago....two generations.
The South now is the best hope for Blacks to find jobs to be included in the local economy.
Blacks are migrating to the South because they have hope and are accepted into these communities, not stuck in some urban ghetto that is 98% black

When Nixon did that he adopted that population of racist democrats. The children and grand children of those Democratic racist are not the same......no way can you say the southern democrat of 1965 has any of the same views of the 2012 southern republican.

What are the facts?
Why did the Democrats vote and filibuster this act?

Why did some Republicans vote no? ( most republicans do admit this vote was a mistake, except Ron Paul ,sometime morals overtake principles...)

Democrats voted because the were racists. Republicians voted because of objections againt the Federal role

House vote= 289 (R) 124(D)
Senate vote= 73-27 ......21(D) voting no...6(R) voting no

It was the republicans who passed this bill

Not all southern republicans voted no.
