Popular Post Herodotus Posted October 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2022 Strange I learned this in the KCMSD back in the 90s. Its not really a state secret that gets middle or high school teachers fired. By the way, why don't you tell us about how most of the Dixiecrats (see Strom Thurmond for example) jumped parties and became Republicans while those who did stay in the Democratic Party denounced the klan and were strong champions of civil rights (see Richard Byrd). Look, I understand you are trying to say "I am not a racist because you vote for racists!" However, at best you can only affirm my position that this country is incredibly racist in its past and is still steeped in racism because if you want to talk about the Klan then I have to point to the Southern Strategy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you are a racist and have never suggested such a thing. I disagree that this is a racist country and I believe racism would have died a silent death 40 years ago. Sadly, there are race hustlers like Al Sharpton, fraudulent groups like BLM and a political party that's perfectly willing to fan the flames of division for money and votes. I don't think you'll find many people in society that dislike people because of skin color, I submit that that is a myth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO all the rednecks that proudly display confederate flags and openly talk about keeping black people out of the town I live in aren't racists? Quote “There he goes. One of God's own prototypes.

Or perhaps they're trying to uphold the tradition of this town where the fist state chapter of the KKK was founded and where, until the early 80's, had signs leading into town warning Black people to stay out Quote “There he goes.

Somehow, an entire group of people decided to be racist and the other side decided to defend freedom. Its like Muslims all of a sudden embraced Judaism and Jews embraced Islam. Absurd.

There was no handshake in Congress, that's fucking stupid and nobody says that's what happened. What happened is that the GOP saw an opportunity to attract traditional Dixiecrat voters that were disgruntled by their party's passage of the Civil Rights Act so they developed an electoral strategy intended to appeal to them. https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/exclusive-lee-atwaters-infamous-1981-interview-southern-strategy/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichJ Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 By one count, of the 1500 racist Democrat leaders in the south (members of Congress, governors, judges) only 14 became Republicans. Some switch. Just one segregationist Dixiecrat senator – Strom Thurmond – switched parties. Every other Dixiecrat senator remained comfortably in the Democratic party, including, notably Al Gore Sr., J. William Fulbright and Robert Byrd. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.chicoer.com/2019/04/03/letter-setting-the-record-straight-on-gop-democrats-switch/amp/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't debunk the switch by focusing on elected officials. Stop being retarded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichJ Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 The phrase, "the big lie," was popularized by Adolf Hitler and his propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels. The primary purpose of the big lie technique as employed by Hitler and the Nazis was to turn German citizens against the Jews. The technique worked so well that the Holocaust, resulting in the deaths of upward of eleven million people, including at least six million Jews, became a stain on humanity. https://soapboxie.com/social-issues/The-Republican-and-Democratic-Parties-Did-Not-Switch-Sides-on-Race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
