Progressives keep trying to escape their racist past (present and future) by making the bizarre claim that the democrat party, the party of the KKK, southern slaves, the Tuskegee Experiments, a President who wouldn't shake the hand of Jesse Owens, the planned parenthood black eugenics party, the "I'll have them ******* voting democrat for the next 2 hundit (hundred with LBJ southern accent) years" party, were actually all done by Republicans because the "parties switched sides"
When did this happen or is this just another Progressive Goebbelesque Big Lie, like Sen Joe McCarthy using his House Unamerican Activities Committee to blacklist innocent Hollywood communists.
Frank this type of sophistry rarely convinces anyone who does not seek verification of an already closed mind.
History tells us that the 1948 General Election began the metamorphose of both parties. The passage of the Civil Right Act of 1964 was another part of the process as was the mind set of Gov's Wallace and Maddox, and Nixon's Southern Strategy.
Democrats who voted for the Dixiecrats in '48, later left the Democratic Party and drifted into The American Independent Party, and when Wallace lost became Republicans.
thus your effort to convince the reader that every Democrat from Truman to Obama was a racist and disregard the history of the civil rights movement.
