Political scientists Richard Johnston (University of Pennsylvania) and Byron Shafer (University of Wisconsin) have argued that this phenomenon had more to do with the economics than it had to do with race. In The End of Southern Exceptionalism, Johnston and Shafer wrote that the Republicans' gains in the South corresponded to the growth of the upper middle class in that region. They suggested that such individuals believed their economic interests were better served by the Republicans than the Democrats. According to Johnston and Shafer, working-class white voters in the South continued to vote for Democrats for national office until the 1990s (ahem these are your jim crow demcrats...pig sooooooie!). In summary, Shafer told The New York Times, "[whites] voted by their economic preferences, not racial preferences".[11]

Another exception is North Carolina. Despite the fact that the state has voted for Republicans in every presidential election from 1980 until 2004, the governorship (until 2012), legislature (until 2010), as well as most statewide offices remain in Democratic control, the congressional delegation was heavily democratic until 2012 when the Republicans passed a redistricting plan to put them in the driver's seat.

and from academics.......thank you!!!!!!
