It has always struck me that on July 2, 1964, the day LBJ signed the Civil Rights act into law making it illegal to discriminate against people based on race, that the narrative became that the democrat party was for black and the GOP was racist.

For the sake of argument, let's say that is correct. Why would everyone in both parties, not just one man, switch their racisms? Has there ever been such a massive switch of belief of one group of people, let alone two groups of people? The stupidity of such an assertion is really mind numbingly outrageous.

But what children are not taught in schools, or in the media, or anywhere else for that matter, is that Republican President Eisenhower pushed for Civil Rights, and yes, he was opposed by a chorus of democrats. No matter, the The Civil Rights Act of 1957 was passed despite being filibustered by democrats.


But the Left would have you believe that in a dark room in 1964, the planets aligned as everything changed. The democrats had somehow changed overnight from a party that fought to keep slavery in the 1800's, and who started the KKK to resist the Republican party in 1865, and who fought Eisenhower on his Civil Rights legislation in 1957, had changed on the twinkling of an eye for no apparent reason.

It really is mind blowing, whether you believe it or don't believe it. It borders on the miraculous.

Since Eisenhower every Republican Presidential candidate has been demonized by the DNC as a racist. Even John McCain was demonized as a racist, although once McCain turned on Trump he miraculously became a stateman and nonracist right before he died.

Funny that.

You can dispute the date but you can’t dispute that 95% of black Americans oppose the republicans and 95% of white nationalists and racists support the republicans. You tell me... what date did they switch?

The Republican party in their own words regarding the Southern Strategy.

"Some Republicans gave up on winning the African American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization. I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong."
- Ken Mehlman RNC Chair

Not once but twice.

" For the last 40-plus years we had a ‘Southern Strategy’ that alienated many minority voters by focusing on the white male vote in the South. Well, guess what happened in 1992, folks, ‘Bubba’ went back home to the Democratic Party and voted for Bill Clinton. "
-Michael Steele RNC chairman.

Look at our elected leaders. Lets take the Senate. There is ONE black guy representing his state... ONE!! Look at the make up of the Dems. Very diverse. Same make up in the House and around the country. That says a lot

The Southern Strategy!

Southern strategy - Wikipedia

The "Southern Strategy" refers primarily to "top down" narratives of the political realignment of the South which suggest that Republican leaders consciously appealed to many white Southerners' racial grievances in order to gain their support.[5] This top-down narrative of the Southern Strategy is generally believed to be the primary force that transformed Southern politics following the civil rights era.[6][7] This view has been questioned by historians such as Matthew Lassiter, Kevin M. Kruse and Joseph Crespino, who have presented an alternative, "bottom up" narrative, which Lassiter has called the "suburban strategy". This narrative recognizes the centrality of racial backlash to the political realignment of the South,[8] but suggests that this backlash took the form of a defense of de facto segregation in the suburbs rather than overt resistance to racial integration and that the story of this backlash is a national rather than a strictly Southern one.[9][10][11][12]

The perception that the Republican Party had served as the "vehicle of white supremacy in the South", particularly during the Goldwater campaign and the presidential elections of 1968 and 1972, made it difficult for the Republican Party to win back the support of black voters in the South in later years.[4] In 2005, Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman formally apologized to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), a national civil rights organization, for exploiting racial polarization to win elections and ignoring the black vote.[13][14]

Introduction



Richard Nixon campaigning in 1968

Although the phrase "Southern Strategy" is often attributed to Nixon's political strategist Kevin Phillips, he did not originate it[15] but popularized it.[16] In an interview included in a 1970 New York Times article, Phillips stated his analysis based on studies of ethnic voting:


From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that... but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.[1]

While Phillips sought to increase Republican power by polarizing ethnic voting in general, and not just to win the white South, the South was by far the biggest prize yielded by his approach. Its success began at the presidential level. Gradually, Southern voters began to elect Republicans to Congress and finally to statewide and local offices, particularly as some legacy segregationist Democrats retired or switched to the GOP.[who?] In addition, the Republican Party worked for years to develop grassroots political organizations across the South, supporting candidates for local school boards and city and county offices as examples, but following the Watergate scandal Southern voters came out in support for the "favorite son" candidate, Southern Democrat Jimmy Carter.

From 1948 to 1984, the Southern states, for decades a stronghold for the Democrats, became key swing states, providing the popular vote margins in the 1960, 1968 and 1976 elections. During this era, several Republican candidates expressed support for states' rights, a reversal of the position held by southern states prior to the Civil War. Some political analysts said this term was used in the 20th century as a "code word" to represent opposition to federal enforcement of civil rights for blacks and to federal intervention on their behalf; many individual southerners had opposed passage of the Voting Rights Act.[3]

They didn’t. They just know a majority of the black community dont even know their own history. Why else would they wear the cloth of slave traders?

I'm not sure why you think I should suck anything. That did not prove the statement you said.

Edit: Not to mention that you seem to claim the independents on those graphs as opposing republicans... The last election doesn't seem to confirm that. o.0

I'm not sure who you are used to arguing with... But... You said something stupid. I suggest just... Letting it go and not doing that anymore.

Are you stupid? I said 95% oppose republicans. Depending on how you wanna argue it’s between 3-8%. 5% is smack in the middle bitch.

They didn't.......the democrats are still racist, and the Republicans don't care about race..... as Dinesh Dzouza points out, Blacks turned democrat for FDR like a lot of people...it didn't happen in the 60s

Pretty sure that was directed only at me at the time. He thought he was making a point. He's... Obviously used to bulling people.

Edit: I'm getting ready for bed... So I'll just throw this out there now... City... *hint*hint* YOU ALSO SAID: Read your whole statement.

I showed you the Pew research that shows how few Black Americans support Republicans. Whether it’s 3% or 8% or 5% it’s a joke. You can’t deny the parties switched positions.

Strangely, over a century, America's two major political parties gradually reversed identities, like the magnetic poles of Planet Earth switching direction.

When the Republican Party was formed in 1856, it was fiercely liberal, opposing the expansion of slavery, calling for more spending on public education, seeking more open immigration and the like. Compassionate Abraham Lincoln suited the new party's progressive agenda.

The whole OP is rubbishy attempting to deny that the same who fought to end slavery as Republicans are now fighting to end institutional racism as democrats. Suck it.
