I don’t go to their sites the fbi does.
i don't go there either because they don't seem to exist
except as talking point issued by the politicized FBI
Playing dumb to the facts doesn't work.
They're also pretending they are the ones who freed the slaves and they were the ones who were in favor of civil rights acts. Such liars. They won't admit they understand the southern strategy turned white racist Democrats into the racist Republicans we have today.
List those racist Dims who turned into Republicans.
So far, your racist friend has 1 on his list. Help the lil fella out.
It was you white voters who changed. Blacks gave credit for the civil rights movements to democrats who picked up the cause. Because blacks were voting democrat white southerners started voting gop and the gop agenda today is anti mlk.
You guys supported mlk as much as you do blm
So you can't come up with a list either.
Dismissed.
Studies show that Southern whites shifted to the Republican Party due to racial conservatism.
[13][15][16] Among white Southerners, Democratic loyalties first fell away at the presidential level, and several decades later at the state and local levels.

Do you want to pull up the studies?
Do you really not know the history?
Few Southern Democrats rejected the 1948 Democratic
political platform over President
Harry's Truman's civil rights platform.
[22] They met at
Birmingham, Alabama, and formed a political party named the
"States' Rights" Democratic Party, more commonly known as the "
Dixiecrats." Its main goal was to continue the policy of
racial segregation in the South and the
Jim Crow laws that sustained it. South Carolina Governor
Strom Thurmond, who had led the walkout, became the party's presidential nominee. Mississippi Governor
Fielding L. Wright received the vice-presidential nomination. Thurmond had a moderate position in South Carolina politics, but with his allegiance with the Dixiecrats, he became the symbol of die-hard segregation.
[23] The Dixiecrats had no chance of winning the election since they failed to qualify for the ballots of enough states. Their strategy was to win enough Southern states to deny Truman an
electoral college victory and force the election into the House of Representatives, where they could then extract concessions from either Truman or his opponent
Thomas Dewey on racial issues in exchange for their support. Even if Dewey won the election outright, the Dixiecrats hoped that their defection would show that the Democratic Party needed Southern support to win national elections, and that this fact would weaken the Civil Rights Movement among Northern and Western Democrats. However, the Dixiecrats were weakened when most Southern Democratic leaders (such as Governor
Herman Talmadge of Georgia and "Boss"
E. H. Crump of Tennessee) refused to support the party.
[24] In the November election, Thurmond carried the states of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina.
[25] Outside of these four states, however, it was only listed as a third-party ticket. Thurmond received well over a million popular votes and 39 electoral votes.
For nearly a century after
Reconstruction, the white South identified with the Democratic Party. Republicans controlled parts of the mountains districts and they competed for statewide office in the
border states. Before 1948, southern Democrats believed that their party, with its respect for
states' rights and appreciation of traditional southern values, was the defender of the southern way of life. Southern Democrats warned against designs on the part of northern liberals and Republicans and civil rights activists whom they denounced as "outside agitators".[

The adoption of the first civil rights plank by the 1948 convention and President Truman's
Executive Order 9981, which provided for
equal treatment and opportunity for African-American military service members, divided the party's northern and southern wings.
[28] In 1952, the Democratic Party named
John Sparkman, a moderate Senator from Alabama, as their vice presidential candidate with the hope of building party loyalty in the South.
[29][30] By the late 1950s, the national Democratic Party again began to embrace the Civil Rights Movement, and the old argument that Southern whites had to vote for Democrats to protect segregation grew weaker. Modernization had brought factories, national businesses and a more diverse culture to cities such as
Atlanta,
Dallas,
Charlotte and
Houston. This attracted millions of northern migrants, including many African Americans. They gave priority to modernization and economic growth over preservation of the old ways.

The Civil Rights act of 1964 and The Voting Rights Act of 1965 were passed by bipartisan majorities of northern congressmen. Only a small element resisted, led by Democratic governors
Lester Maddox of Georgia, and especially
George Wallace of Alabama. These
populist governors appealed to a less-educated, blue-collar electorate that favored the Democratic Party, but supported segregation.
[32] After the
Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case that outlawed segregation in schools in 1954, integration caused enormous controversy in the white South. For this reason, compliance was very slow and was the subject of violent resistance in some areas.
[33]
The Democratic Party no longer acted as the champion of segregation. Newly-enfranchised African American voters began supporting Democratic candidates at the 80-90-percent levels, producing Democratic leaders such as
Julian Bond and
John Lewis of Georgia, and
Barbara Jordan of Texas.
[34]
Many white southerners switched to the Republican Party, some for reasons unrelated to race. The majority of white southerners shared
conservative positions on taxes, moral values and national security. The Democratic Party had increasingly
liberal positions rejected by these voters.
[35] In addition, the younger generations, who were politically conservative but wealthier and less attached to the Democratic Party, replaced the older generations who remained loyal to the party.
[35] The shift to the Republican Party took place slowly and gradually over almost a century.
