That’s crazy because every democrat i know irl practices the soft bigotry of low expectations and racism by claiming minorities can’t get into schools/jobs on merit alone & they can’t get even get an ID to vote, they’re THAT incapable.
Now tell me, who’s the racist party as a whole?
Keep it coming, I can bitchslap you all night

Essentially all whites in the South were democrats after the Civil War. Lincoln, after all was a Republican.
Wallace took the Southern states away from the Dems in 68. (Goldwater carried Southern States in 64 too.)
In 72 the South went all Nixon.

So what is the real story here?
It's a lie. Nixon didn't win the South, but democrat Carter did after the parties supposedly switched. Every state but Illinois voted for Republican Reagan in 1984. So, did 49 states suddenly become racist for a few years?
Let this smart black lady, Professor Carol Swain, explain it to you.
Why Did the Democratic South Become Republican?
Shapiro explains as well
quote:
Also why do republicans struggle with black voters?
They don't promise free shite. They don't go around lying about dems wanting "to put you back in chains." They don't pay off black leaders and pastors to tell their people to vote Republican. They don't control the media. They don't control academia.
Look what happens when a Republican is able to bypass media, black leaders, and academia and speak directly to the people. Trump has historically high support among black people.

If the parties switched under Nixon, why did Blacks start voting Democrat in the Great Depression. Segregation was still a White Southern Democrat tradition along with the KKK.
Blacks deserted the GOP for government handouts of scraps leftover from whites, during FDR Administration.
To be fair the civil rights act that you credit to LBJ, passed Congress because GOP supported it with a higher affirmative voting percentage than the democrats.
Surprised you weren’t taught that in school.
Actually I’m not since unionized school teachers are 90+% Democrats.

In '72, Wallace finished 3rd in nomination voting at the DNC convention...despite having been shot / paralyzed months before. That alone debunks the "southern strategy" myth.

Didn't you post that the racists you know in real life are republicans? Your anecdotal evidence holds no more weight than anyone else. The racists I've encountered in real life have been much more of the liberal persuasion. I'd probably put it at a 75/25 split with liberals being more racist. And you can miss me with accusations of being a republican, I haven't been affiliated with any political party in over twenty years.

Well, that is 100% true.

Also, 100% true.
quote:
Dems say the two parties switched?
False. Virtually none of the Dixiecrats switched parties and many stayed in office for decades after. The only notable exceptions were Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms, although I think there was 1 other.
Notable Dixiecrats who remained lifelong democrats include Robert Byrd (who was a high-ranking klan member, not just a member as most prominent Democrat officials of the first half of the 20th Century had some klan affiliation).
Now, as far as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, yes LBJ signed it. 80% of Congressional Republicans voted for final passage (despite some reservations). Most Republican opponents did so on Constitutional grounds, not content or that they held racist or discriminatory views (notably Barry Goldwater who did not have a racist bone in his body, yet LBJ successfully smeared him as such).
On the Democrat side, they were split about 2 to 1 for the CRA as passed. The 1/3 who were against it were largely Southern politicians doing so on white supremacy grounds. The vast majority of those politicians remained Democrats for the rest of their lives. Recall their grandparents considered Republicans the party of the war, Reconstruction and oppression.
quote:

Ironically, Republicans are far more colorblind and pursue policies they believe will benefit all Americans. Democrats perfected race/class/identity politics in the 1960s and 1970s.

Wallace took the Southern states away from the Dems in 68.
Some (mostly the cotton belt). For 1 cycle. Humprey carried Texas. Nixon took Virginia, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Florida.
Nixon won everywhere in 1972.
Carter carried every state of the confederacy except Virginia in 1976. That is some fickle fricking racism, right there.
quote:
(Goldwater carried Southern States in 64 too.)
He did carry the cotton belt, mostly. LBJ (a Texan) carried more states of the confederacy than Goldwater did in 1964 and more than Wallace would carry in 1968.
So, there was no "Southern Strategy". The true irony of this crazy theory is that - as the South became less racist, it became more Republican.

Did you know that the coalition that past the revised Voting Rights Act in the early 1980s consisted of Republicans and the Black Congressional Caucus?

LBJ lost his first race in Texas. He didn't get the majority of black votes. LBJ stated after that loss that he would never be out -iggered again. Fill in the blank. He was a racist.
Quote is accurate except for the wrong person.
That quote Was George C Wallace.
LBJ's quote was when talking out signing the 1964 civil Rights bill. that He would have those damn Iggers Voting Democrat for 100 years!

Dems say the two parties switched? And Nixon needed to appeal to whites in south who were racist and therefore the current electoral demographics.
The simplest answer is that political party is not reflective of cultural ideology. A political party exist with the specific policies it wants to enact. How those policies are enacted and who they are for will change overtime.
The South was Democratic during the sixties and was against civil rights. That was a cultural staple of the South.
When LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act, he didn't do it with the intent of losing white Southerners. The Republicans made a push to get all the White Southerners who were upset with CRA. However, the policies the Democrats supported were still preferred. That's why it wasn't until the 80s when Southern states went Red.
