How come no one ever talks about the racist democrats aka Dixiecrats?

[Warren Moon]

My dude, you tried to present a partial history of southern politics while conveniently leaving out important details that have helped shaped the politics of today. It didn't go unnoticed. What you're saying his isn't news to anyone. But when and how you're presenting it is suspect.

What important details did I leave out about elected democrats that were racist, staying democrat after the southern strategy?

there republicans now

 

[I Really Mean It]

No doubt Strom Thurmond was a flaming Klansman..

How could he be a Klansman? He had a black mistress and fathered a black baby.

You leaving out the Southern Strategy from your initial post is the big omission. Don't play dumb.

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Everything from the post from Wikipedia is from the first few paragraph, of the page. The southern strategy was not apart of that.

Southern strategy - Wikipedia

There's the link. How does any of that information disprove any of the blatant racism within the democrat party? Especially the racist individuals who stayed in the Democratic Party, after the southern strategy was completed?

A lot of the Dixiecrat politicians on the federal level stayed within the Democratic party but the Northern Democrats changed the tune of what the party represented and those Dixiecrat politicians pretty much had to accept and support The CRA even after opposing it and other progressive agendas implemented by the party.

But I don't think the Dixiecrat voters were completely purged from the Democratic Party until the mid-90's

Why aren't we talking about this Genghis Khan fellow?

Look at this . Another brother confused lol

You don’t have to vote republican . You can vote independent. Rand Paul would be better than Trump or Hillary lol

You saying a don’t vote strategy worked? How? Hillary won the popular vote


Don’t be confused by that Russia bullshyt DEMOCRATS are pushing . Talking about oligarchs and all that . Dont American politicians hang out with billionaires? Don’t American politicians appoint billionaires to positions of power ? Don’t American politicians help billionaires avoid prison?

That’s all shyt to get in our way . We have to move smart going forward . We don’t have to support Trump . We don’t have to support republicans.

We don’t need democrats anymore .

You're a card carrying member of #trumpset. Who are you trying to fool?
You guys are getting lazy.
And Rand Paul though...

So I added it. I thought building the dates would let ppl know about how they still stayed democrat after the strategy.

Again a good amount of the racist voters converted to republicans.

And a good amount of the racist elected democrats stayed democrat. Just bc the electorates largely left doesn't refute the fact that racist demofficials stayed within the party and one of the sons got elected Vice President and ran for president in the 2000's.

The southern strategy doesn't change any of those facts. To say they don't still have a presence is naive. The leaders of the movements son reached he highest levels in the party 6 generations after they all "apparently" left

The “Dixiecrats” managed to win many Southern states, but collapsed as a party soon after the election, with effectively all members returning to the Democratic Party. The Civil Rights Act of 1964, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson, a Democrat from the Southern state of Texas, led many Southern Democrats to vote for Barry Goldwater at the national level. In the ensuing years, the increasing conservatism of the Republican Party compared to the liberalism of the Democratic Party (especially on social and cultural issues) led many more conservative white Democrats in the South to vote Republican. However, many continued to vote for Democrats at the state and local levels ,especially before 1994. After 2010, Republicans had gained a solid advantage over Democrats at all levels of politics in most Southern states.

The elected officials folded back into the Democratic Party, the majority of the racist voters went republican, but the majority of the elected officials stayed democrat. That's my whole point

I understand your point but you're point isn't providing the entire story of what the Democratic party was becoming even with Dixiecrats staying with the party. When trying to unveil the truth there's no need to cherry pick to create narratives.

And honestly believed that too until al gore got the vp then presendital nomination.

Al Gore Jr. wasn't a dixiecrat his father was.

Don’t be confused by that Russia bullshyt DEMOCRATS are pushing

A republican is investigating Trump with the Russia scandal. Democrats are in the crossfire...and in the audience section like-->
