Willfully ignorant of history. Honestly, I don't know why you bother. Nobody believes your trolling.
Yes. The parties did switch. I noticed you didn't address the Civil Right Act in either of your bold cut and pastes but immediately pivoted to deflections.
We studied the Civil Rights Act and its impact on the political parties in detail in my school...and that was in the mid 1980's. This is not theory.
Democrats in the south flipped to Republicans while Democrats became the party of Civil Rights. Here, get familiar with our history.
This is an old article. But right on the money. It's funny to see some of the things printed that turned out to be scary on-the-money.
The Conservative Fantasy History of Civil Rights
The GOP's fashionable revisionist history of how it won the white South — by supporting civil rights!nymag.com
More Republicans supported civil rights than Democrats.
Democrats blocked every anti-lynching bill the Republicans brought to Congress.
Can you provide a few of the books that have informed your geopolitical insight?
No?
Try reading a book some day.
I'd be happy to provide a starting curriculum for you ....just say the word.
No they don't. Read the article I linked from 2012. It's quite prescient.
A lot of anti-lynching bills were brought up before 1965. When the parties essentially flipped.
But here is a very recent example of someone holding up an anti-lynching bill. Which party does he belong to?

You really need to familiarize yourself with US history. You have a bad habit of bending
narratives (and history) to fit your political leanings.
"The lynchings were Southern whites' extrajudicial efforts to maintain social control, white supremacy, and Democratic Party rule, ..... From 1882 to 1968, "...nearly 200 anti-lynching bills were introduced in Congress, and three passed the House. Seven presidents between 1890 and 1952 petitioned Congress to pass a federal law."[10] Not one bill was approved by the Senate because of the powerful opposition of the Southern Democratic voting block."

I take-it you are not interested in either my offer to provide a curriculum to inform your lacunae, or in books in general.
That makes you the quintessential Democrat supporter.
While you can use big words with some linguist dexterity, it doesn't cover up the fact that nothing you've posted about the racist policies of the Democratic Party are true after 1968 - more than 50 years ago. In fact, it was John F. Kennedy who moved the Democrats past their racist past and introduced the Civil Rights Act to Congress. When asking Johnson to be his running mate, Kennedy made a point of telling Johnson about his plans for racial reform, and Johnson agreed to all of them.
After Kennedy's death, Johnson made sure that the signature legislation of the Kennedy Presidency, the Civil Rights Act was passed. And when you look at the votes it took to pass that Act, 29 Southern Democrats voted in favour of the Bill, but not ONE Southern Republican voted for it. Yes the Bill passed because of Republican votes, but in both the House and Senate it was NORTHERN Republican votes because while some Southern Democrats broke ranks and voted in favour of the Civil Rights Act, not one Southern Republican did so.
History is NOT on your side little Trump Chick. History shows that Republicans freed the slaves, but they NEVER gave them equal rights.
"While you can use big words with some linguist dexterity, it doesn't cover up the fact that nothing you've posted about the racist policies of the Democratic Party are true after 1968 - more than 50 years ago. "
The 'big words' are secondary.....'big thoughts' are what leaves you in the dust.
"...racist policies of the Democratic Party are true after 1968 - more than 50 years ago."
Let's check:
1. Not only was the Democrat Party the home of slavers, segregationists, the Jim Crow folks, and the KKK....but the folks who try to lie their way out of the stain that attaches to all Democrats by claiming that it all changed in the 1960's, and the Democrats reversed themselves....
Clinton proves otherwise.
His 40 or so years as Democrat, up to and including the fact that he is so popular to Democrats that he was given the keynote speech at Obama's 2016 convention....
...and for his entire political life he has been a racist.
2. Now, "Democrats 100 years ago, or 50 years ago..." doesn't seem fair...it was so long ago....
Was it?
a. Dixiecrats lost in 1948 (65 years ago)....then went right back to being Democrats.
3. Let's take a look at the most popular Democrat today, and see how your math holds up...
Governor Clinton was among three state officials the NAACP sued in 1989 under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965. “Plaintiffs offered plenty of proof of monolithic voting along racial lines, intimidation of black voters and candidates and other official acts that made voting harder for blacks,” the Arkansas Gazette reported December 6, 1989.
b. Bill Clinton had a Confederate flag-like issue, every year he was governor: 1979-1992 Arkansas Code Annotated, Section 1-5-107, provides as follows:
(a) The Saturday immediately preceding Easter Sunday of each year is designated as ‘Confederate Flag Day’ in this state.
(b) No person, firm, or corporation shall display an Confederate flag or replica thereof in connection with any advertisement of any commercial enterprise, or in any manner for any purpose except to honor the Confederate States of America. [Emphasis added.]
(c) Any person, firm, or corporation violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not less than one hundred dollars ($100) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000).
Bill Clinton took no steps during his twelve years as governor to repeal this law.

[Let's Stop Pretending the Confederate Flag Isn't a Symbol of RacismJust to refresh everyone's memories, we're talking about the official national flag that was used to represent the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. You know, that awkward time period when the South was vehemently fighting to keep slavery around as a means of economic prosperity for white plantation owners.
I've heard arguments time and again about how the Confederate flag is no longer representative of slavery, and how it's now indicative of "Southern pride and heritage." But I'm really over the whole "respect your heritage" mantra, especially when your heritage is hate.

Governor Clinton invited Orval Faubus to his inauguration and they exchanged an almost South American abrazo, embrace, http://www.booknotes.org/Watch/72551-1/Paul+Greenberg.aspx
Governor Orval Faubus, progressive New Deal Democrat, blocked the schoolhouse door to the Little Rock Central High School with the state’s National Guard rather than allow nine black students to attend.
Clinton’s mentor was J. William Fulbright, a vehement foe of integration who had voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Orval Eugene Faubus, attended Bill Clinton’s 1979 gubernatorial inauguration, where the two pols hugged, as Arkansas Democrat-Gazette editorial page editor Paul Greenberg recalls.)
Know who Faubus was?
Yup...he used the National Guard to prevent blacks from going to school
c. Bill Clinton wrote his first letter, dated June 21, 1994, of congratulations to the UDC [Untied Daughters of the Confederacy] celebrating their 100th anniversary. Later Clinton wrote a letter September 8, 1994 letter of congratulation to the Georgia Division of the UDC celebrating their 100th anniversary, then August 9, 1995 welcoming to Washington, D.C. for their 1995 national convention. Each letter was given a full page with Clinton’s picture in the United Daughters of the Confederacy Magazine (UDC Magazine) giving legitimacy to the UDC.
For reference, the UDC magazine includes " a Ku Klux Klan praising book, not just the Klan of Reconstruction but the Klan of the 1920s, a book which recommends the racist books of Thomas Dixon, “The Clansman” ...

d. "Clinton praised Arkansas’ late Democratic senator J. William Fulbright, a notorious segregationist who opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act. He also signed the Southern Manifesto, which denounced the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark Brown vs. Board of Education school desegregation decision in 1954. Clinton called Fulbright “My mentor, a visionary, a humanitarian.”Dems Need to Houseclean - Deroy Murdock - National Review Online
and....
Fulbright was a full-bore segregationist, voting against the 1957, 1960, 1964, and 1965 civil rights bills.
But...in 1993, Bill Clinton gave the Medal of Freedom award to a lifelong segregationist, Democrat Wm. J. Fulbright. And another life-long segregationist, Democrat Albert Gore, Sr. was in attendance.
Hey...didn't Bill Clinton just recently speak at the Democrat National Convention?
