I learned this AND I learned about the Southern Strategy.

[Herodotus]

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.

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.

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?

I dont know those people, you would know better than I. As you know I travel all over for work and I just don't come across that.

Perhaps they're trying to reduce crime in their neighborhood.  Just playing devil's advocate here.

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

They didn't hide it. They came up with a big lie called the big switch. 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.

No.  The group that was already racist just decided to vote for a different party.

Yeah, I'll correct him where he's wrong.  It's incredibly easy to do.  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.

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.

The Southern Strategy was an appeal to VOTERS.  You can't debunk the switch by focusing on elected officials.  Stop being retarded.

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.
