Why Did the Democratic South Become Republican?

The Plantation: Then and Now

Premiered Nov 22, 2021 It’s the 21st century. Slavery is long gone. Blacks are no longer imprisoned on plantations… right? Actually, many are — just not in the way they used to be. Candace Owens issues a wake-up call. It’s time for a new liberation.

Why Did the Democratic South Become Republican?

The south used to vote Democrat. Now it votes Republican. Why the switch? Was it, as some people say, because the GOP decided to appeal to racist whites? Carol Swain, Professor of Political Science at Vanderbilt University, explains.

TheReaper says: This great video corrects the gigantic LIE and the fake narrative of the Left about the so-called southern strategy.

Why?

The Civil Rights Act of 1964.

You can blame LBJ for the shift into the Red.

 

[TheReaper]

So why is it when I show you MLK's actual words....you ignore it like he didn't say it??

You show me memes. I can find a meme thats twists words on every subject. I speak facts. "MLK was a man of God, a southern baptist preacher, and he had nothing in common with todays Democrats and their trannies and gay marriage and socialism and hate and lies. On every social issue MLK stands with todays Republicans and conservatives."

Now you tell me that MLK would have favored your gay marriage and socialism and transgenderism. I dare you

The republicans changed. I'm so sick of the republican's heresy, I know full well the democrats were south of the US, it all changed when the, the Dixie democrat's, all the rest lived in the northern states when they were against slavery and nonracial. Civil war, that's when it all changed.

Republicans suppress the voting of black cities now, republicans banned abortion, the next thing you republicans will take away the entitlements or raise the age up, this isn't no Chistian nation, better get used to that.

Citizens are taxed at high rates. there is not just the Federal Income Tax which a good percentage do not pay. There are endless taxes. Combined at all levels of government it adds up. When there was a low tac nation, we were much more a Christain one. Now that we are a derivative of a Socialism one, we are less so.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Passed thanks to Republicans. Learn your history, REAL History

lol why must the left wingers always be so dumb
Joe Biden is a segregationist.

No he wasn't. He was anti busing black children to white schools but because he thought we needed to invest in the schools and the neighborhoods in black communities. Today, we have studies that show things like vouchers and lotteries that give minority and disadvantaged youths from poor communities the ability to attend better schools in better communities doesn't actually lead to better outcomes. The prevailing idea today among black leaders is that that does nothing to address the underlying socio-economic disadvantages those children face. They still have to go home to poor neighborhoods, they still suffer disportionately from malnutrition, they're still disportionately punished by authorities in school and out. Wanting investment in poor and black communities doesn't make one a segregationist.

He said that he would not send his kids to a desegregated school because it be like a "racial jungle"
You voted for Biden, not me.

Why not quote the whole thing?

Fact check: In 1977, Biden said without orderly integration, his kids would grow up in 'racial jungle'

---

Just before the remark, Biden advocated for "orderly integration of society" rather than school integration via busing. "I am not just talking about education but all of society," he said.

He addressed the expert witnesses at the hearing, and then launched into the quote in question: "Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point."

You are an idiot. MLK was a man of God, a southern baptist preacher, and he had nothing in common with todays Democrats and their trannies and gay marriage and socialism and hate and lies.

On every social issue MLK stands with todays Republicans and conservatives.

MLK may have been a little left from some stuff I read, he supported some of the nanny state "anti-poverty" programs which at the time may have even been somewhat helpful, and with proper stewardship may have been a good long term program that reduced poverty, but the problem with government agencies and programs like that is this;

If they're successful, the needs for them is reduced. So they deliberately fail just enough to maintain a budget, but not so badly they get done away with.

For God's Sake we still have a "Bureau of Indian Affairs" and The Rural Electrification Administration.

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

It is amazing to me how little conservatives today actually read a single word MLK ever wrote or said......he was HATED BY CONSERVATIVES when he was alive.....what about these quotes are in line with "conservatives and republicans"??

What about this is in line with the Ted Cruz and Lauren Boebert conservatives today??




What about this is "Conservatism"?? He is essentially explaining what CRT is.....the fact that America's legal and economic systems were based on racial oppression and exploitation.......this is Conservative how?

It's amazing the amount of lying and gaslighting these folks have to do in order to avoid the fact that Conservatives have ALWAYS BEEN AGAINST Civil Rights....

It is only when they are shamed into accepting defeat that they have to try to rewrite history and try to pretend they were on the right side of Civil Rights...which is why they both claim to love folks like MLK while ignoring every quote I posted from him...

 

[TheReaper]

Why?

The Civil Rights Act of 1964.

You can blame LBJ for the shift into the Red.

Republican President Dwight Eisenhower signed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and sent troops to Arkansas to desegregate schools.
Eisenhower also appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren to the U.S. Supreme Court which resulted in the famous 1954 “Brown v. Topeka Board of Education” decision that ended school segregation and the “separate but equal” doctrine created by the 1896 “Plessy v. Ferguson” decision.

Behind closed doors, President Johnson said: “These Negroes, they’re getting uppity these days. That’s a problem for us, since they got something now they never had before. The political pull to back up their upityness. Now, we’ve got to do something about this. We’ve got to give them a little something. Just enough to quiet them down, but not enough to make a difference. If we don’t move at all, their allies will line up against us. And there’ll be no way to stop them. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again.”

Democrat President John F. Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil rights Act while he was a senator, as did Democrat Senator Al Gore, Sr. After he became president, Kennedy opposed to the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. King that was organized by A. Phillip Randolph, a black Republican.

President Kennedy, through his brother Attorney General Robert Kennedy, had Dr. King wiretapped and investigated by the FBI on suspicion of being a Communist in order to undermine Dr. King.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Never Wrote An Autobiography

“The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.” was written by Professor Clayborne Carson, not Dr. King, and was first published in 1998, 30 years after Dr. King was killed. Dr. King never wrote an autobiography.

Notice the words on the bottom of the cover that read, “Edited by Clayborne Carson.” This is a clever attempt to disguise the fact that the book was not written by Dr. King.
In reality, the King estate commissioned Carson to write a book about Dr. King. It should have been written as a biography. Instead, Carson chose to write the book in the first person, as if he, Carson, were Dr. King. It is hard to determine what is fact in the book and what is conjecture or educated guessing by Carson, a liberal professor of history at Stanford University and the Director of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute.

Republican Senator Everett Dirksen Championed Civil Rights In the 1960s

Little known by many today is the fact that it was Republican Senator Everett Dirksen from Illinois, not Democrat President Lyndon Johnson, who pushed through the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

In fact, Dirksen was instrumental to the passage of civil rights legislation in 1957, 1960, 1964, 1965 and 1968. Dirksen wrote the language for the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Dirksen also crafted the language for the Civil Rights Act of 1968 which prohibited discrimination in housing.

The chief opponents of the 1964 Civil Rights Act were Democrat Senators Sam Ervin, Albert Gore, Sr. and Robert Byrd who filibustered against the bill for 14 straight hours before the final vote. President Johnson could not have achieved passage of the civil rights legislation without the support of Republicans.
Ignored are the facts that Barry Goldwater was a life member of the NAACP and voted for the 1957 Civil Rights Act. He opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act on Constitutional grounds because he wanted the law to pass Constitutional muster.

After decades of Democrats trying to lure blacks away from the Republican Party with handouts, the major switch occurred in the 1960s. At that time, blacks were wrongly convinced that John F. Kennedy got Dr. King out of jail. In reality, Kennedy merely made a call to King’s wife, Coretta. The King family friend and Kennedy civil rights advisor, Harris Wofford, orchestrated King’s release from jail. This revelation is in Wofford’s book “Of Kennedys and Kings” on pages 14-23.

Kennedy was at first upset about King’s release from jail because he thought it would make him lose the Southern vote. He later claimed credit after being told he could benefit politically. Nixon, a Republican, knew he would be ignored if he made a call to the jail in a state controlled by Democrats.

Dude you ae brainwashed and propagandized. Join the blacks who have left your plantation. You still have the slave mind and obey your DemoKKKrat masters.

I'll bet you did not listen to the video in the first post or any other video did you. You just spew out the KKK party line.

It's really an admission their ideology and culture is shit because they're all so afraid to own it. We've painted them in a corner. They can keep hollering about Democrats all they like but when we make it about shit Confederates and Segregationists and their shit culture they have two choices. Allow us to denigrate their shit culture without opposition until it dies a slow shameful death, or defend it and reveal themselves. These fucking morons don't know how to fight a war, but then their ancestors got their asses handed to them in the last one.

Biden is a corporatist stooge. His politics changed with the wind but his kneeling at the alter to his masters the corporatists with a parentage of them in Delaware. I love it when he goes into his oh golly folks' mode. And then proceeds to screw over the same people as a whole but reward specific groups in the same.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

The civil war started to change this, I know full well about the KKK and Jim Crow Laws abounded.

The southern republicans the KKK and the Jim Crow Laws might come back. They (republicans) are working on it.

Take your meds, Biden Loon

 

[Penelope]

The republicans if they were southern at the beginning of the civil war, they were of fought for the Confederacy. The white people get excited over the Confederate flag, there was even one in the capital, by a republican, even in the Jan 6 was 2021.

 

[Curried Goats]

Biden is a corporatist stooge.

That we won't disagree on but so are most of the politicians in Washington. The only ones fighting corporatists are the progressives.

Dirksen was considered liberal...do you understand??


Why is it the policies like Civil Rights Act, and the voting rights act are always, always, always being attacked and gutted by Conservatives?? Why did Republicans all vote against reauthourizing the voting rights act??


Barry Goldwater voted AGAINST THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT....he was called out by MLK......his nomination is what lead the exodus of black voters from the Republican party....the POLICIES.....

It's the policies that black voters care about...not the virute signaling.....which is why that same NAACP opposed his presidential bid....because Conservative policies suck...

[TroglocratsRdumb]

A 25 year old newspaper article.

yea, and it has become even more segregated since then

 

[Flash]

I was raised in a Southern community.

Back in the old days Southerners were Democrats because the Republicans were the party of Lincoln.

They were called Dixiecrats. Conservative Democrats. My parents and most family and friends were Dixiecrats.

Back then the Democrat Party was a big tent party and had a sizable Conservative faction. Republicans were considered the party of Northern big city Liberals.

JFK got Southerns thinking that the Democrats were not their party. I remember my parents not being upset when the sonofabitch was wasted.

LBJ and Jimmy Carter were suppose to be Southerners but they were bat shit crazy Liberals.

Reagan broke the back of the Democrat Party in the South.
