Detailed destruction of the Southern Strategy myth again.

..................

The Democratic Party is all about slavery, racism and blaming anyone else..

.......................

Fact: The Ku Klux Klan was originally and primarily an arm of the Southern Democratic Party. Its mission was to terrorize freed slaves and "ni**er-loving" (their words) Republicans who sympathized with them.

Why is this fact conveniently omitted in so many popular histories and depictions of the KKK, including PBS documentaries? Had the KKK been founded by Republicans, that fact would no doubt be repeated constantly on those shows.

Fact: In the 1950s, President Eisenhower, a Republican, integrated the US military and promoted civil rights for minorities. Eisenhower pushed through the Civil Rights Act of 1957. One of Eisenhower's primary political opponents on civil rights prior to 1957 was none other than Lyndon Johnson, then the Democratic Senate Majority Leader. LBJ had voted the straight segregationist line until he changed his position and supported the 1957 Act.

Fact: The historic Civil Rights Act of 1964 was supported by a higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats in both houses of Congress. In the House, 80 percent of the Republicans and 63 percent of the Democrats voted in favor. In the Senate, 82 percent of the Republicans and 69 percent of the Democrats voted for it.

Fact: Contrary to popular misconception, the parties never "switched" on racism. The Democrats just switched from overt racism to a subversive strategy of getting blacks as dependent as possible on government to secure their votes. At the same time, they began a cynical smear campaign to label anyone who opposes their devious strategy as greedy racists.


A Short History of Democrats, Republicans, and Racism

With the exception of only a couple, the Dixiecrats all remained Democrats. Historical fact. Something left wing loons don't have the ability to grasp.

The video in the O/P is full of SHIT........

A few examples....

Al Smith lost the south because.....................???
Because he was Catholic and we know how those southern evangelicals hate thoe so called "Papists"....

Democrats like Carter and Clinton won many southern states...............Of course idiotic right wingers........Carter was a Georgian and Clinton an Arkansan

Yes, the south has "evolved".........mostly in better HIDING their prejudices....Klan mentality simply stopped dressing in white robes.

The ONLY major difference in today's south, is that racists stopped wearing white robes and hoods and started running for congress in Armani suits.

Conservatives are on a mission to rewrite history because none of it paints conservatives in a good light. The flip of the parties in the 1960s is undisputed political history. Only the losers in the con bubble will believe any of the fake propaganda about it at this point. Everyone else already knows the truth.

But cons need their lies.

They remained CONSERVATIVE Democrats who began voting for Republican presidential candidates.

This thread pops up about once a month. It's the Big Lie theory. Make the lie BIG and repeat it over and over and over.

Historical fact Isaac ,it's in the archives at the library of congress.
Look it up.

 

[NYcarbineer]

The real history goes like this:

1. For much of the 20th century, the conservative Southern Democrats and the liberal Northern Democrats formed a coalition that at its core was held together by a tacit agreement that the northern liberals would tolerate the southern conservatives' segregationist policies.

2. The beginning of the end of that came with Harry Truman's ascendance to the presidency, and Truman's breaking of that agreement when he began to push for civil rights. Conservative Southern Democrats first broke ranks by forming the Dixiecrat party, and then ultimately by overwhelmingly supporting Goldwater in 1964.

 

[tinydancer]

Once upon a time ALL the Democrats became Republicans and ALL the Republicans became Democrats.....



Another D fairy tale. The DNC might as well be renamed the "Disney National Committee".

A Short History of Democrats, Republicans, and Racism

The narrative the left puts out is a total fabrication, and is actually hysterical! To believe the lefts rewrite, all Republicans had to decide to become Democrats, and vice-versa.

Now I ask..........did Eisenhower become a Democrat? Did the racist LBJ become a Republican? How about that charming and delightful racist, Al Gore SR!

This narrative is nothing more than an EXCUSE for why Democrats treated Black Americans so shabbily, while trying to shift blame to the other side for their heinous deeds. They pull it with every historical fact they don't like. This war was REALLY the US fault. If we would be nice to this dictator, they will be nice to us, etcetera.

I am not a big fan of moderate Republicans, but just watch how the far left operates, even today, if you want to see their true modus aperendi. They create a narrative or 5, then repeat it over, and over, and over again, trying to gaslight everyone who can hear it. How many times did Obama repeat that your healthcare was going to get better! You can keep your doctor, etc. And what were the results?

The MOST important narrative that the left has today is---------->that somehow, Republicans HATE black people, and that they were the true racists. It is all a fantasy, and virtually all Democrats in power know it is a fact. It is the same with Republicans want to hold women down, lol. We don't like women. Does anyone realize how RIDICULOUS that narrative...........in fact either one of them, is. And yet, they keep trying, now don't they!

You want to know why schools have moved away from American history for the most part? Because the school systems are run by leftists, and if they actually taught American history, NOBODY that was black would vote for them, lolol.

The ONLY major difference in today's south, is that racists stopped wearing white robes and hoods and started running for congress in Armani suits.

Your post epitomizes:

1) the use of racism by LWers to divide the nation into classic "Us vs. Them".

2) the promotion of racial and/or cultural stereotypes for political purposes.

3) the refusal of LWers to admit that racism is a national problem, not a regional one.

4) the refusal to admit that government institutionalized racism is part of the problem.

5) the fact that racial politics remains an essential core ingredient of the LW strategy.

I agree with you 100%!

And look how the American narrative has changed thanks to the left wing----------->

If you work and make a decent living wanting to keep more of your hard earned money, you are greedy, evil, don't want to pay your fairshare, sometimes racist, hate the poor, and the list goes on.

But, if you put nothing into the system and demand more, you are nice, held down, a victim, pure, etc.

Now, if that was pounded into your head day after day, and you didn't know better, why would you want to become one of the EVIL ones! The left wing has turned this country on its head with its total nonsense.

Do we actually understand what they are saying! TRANSLATION----------> The governments job is NOT to create factors so as every American can succeed, oh no it isn't! It is the governments job to TAKE from the successful, and give it to whomever they wish..........mainly, left wing voters.

The more the government provides, the less incentive there is to EVER work. If I get my healthcare, housing, food and clothes from the government, how much do I have to make to IMPROVE my lifestyle, if I got to work 40 to 50 hours a week, and have little or no experience to demand a decent wage. Know why people worked hard 30 years ago back to the inception of this country? TO SURVIVE, and in the process, they had an INCENTIVE to move up the ladder. What is the incentive now?

Republicans do NOT hate the poor. We want them to try and get RICH! But, you will NEVER get rich living on the dole, and while you are living on the dole, you make everyone else paying poor, because you demand more of their money.

Racism is alive and flourishing in those red states still pissed off that a half black guy beat their sorry asses for 8 years........SPIN IT ANY WAY YOU WISH, the truth is obvious.
