He's right about the black migration to the Democratic Party in the 1930s (as early as 1924 there were mutterings of black dissatisfaction with Coolidge's perceived inattention to civil rights and threatening to leave their then-traditional Republican base), and he's right that the white migration to the RP is unrelated and happened decades later on the heels of the CRA, but he's conflating "Southern Democrats" with "The Democratic Party" in general, ignoring the fact that those two factions were philosophical opposites in mortal combat with each other for a century, right back to 1860. That dynamic seems to be inconvenient.
He's also wrong about the KKK, which had no political affiliation as a unit but supported, or opposed, whichever party served its purposes to support or oppose. Democrats in the South, being a one-party State, and Republicans in the midwest and west. He seems to engage in some blanket Composition fallacies here. But without a context of the main speech it's hard to tell.
There's also no mention --- here anyway --- of the philosophical pole shift of the turn of the (19th/20th) century, where the DP took on Populist movement and moved away from the "states rights" position (except in the South of course) and where the RP took on the interests of the wealthy and corporations and moved away from the Liberalism that founded it. But hey, there's nothing like joining a seminar in the Q&A session when all those points and context have already been laid out and we're left with no foundation at all.
What is it we were supposed to "learn" here, Pinkie? That context is crucial?
Yo, remember this guy, among many "Democrats" who thought his way?
Orval Eugene Faubus (January 7, 1910 – December 14, 1994) was an American politician who served as 36th
Governor of Arkansas from 1955 to 1967.
A
Democrat, he is best remembered for his 1957 stand against the
desegregation of the
Little Rock School District during the
Little Rock Crisis, in which he defied a unanimous decision of the
U.S. Supreme Court by ordering the
Arkansas National Guard to prevent black students from attending
Little Rock Central High School.
Just a reminder of the Real Democrat Party!
"GTP"
This President had to slap him around, and put him in his place!
