There were hundreds of Dixiecrats. There were only two that switched.

The Civil Rights act was passed in 1964. Dixiecrats were supposed to have switched around then. Blacks started voting for Democrats in the 1930's. I think you're the one that needs to try again.

 

[Riveting-]

White supremacy is not ancient history. Along as fools continue to wave confederate flags in their yards and trucks. Fail to take down confederate statutes. Fail to change the names of US military bases names after people that killed US soldiers, white supremacy is alive and well.

You left out: Fail to protect blacks in inner cities such as Phily, Chicago, and NYC; and fail to give black kids in inner cities access to better schools. You can thank the dems for all of that.

You key word is started. Perhaps blacks started voting for northern democrats as the 1920s and 1930s was when a lot of blacks migrates to the northern cities for jobs and to schools as southern blacks weren’t allowed to go to almost of the southern public schools. The 1920s was the thing that my grandparents moved to the north from the south.

The Dixiecrats didn’t switch until after civil rights and voting bills. A lot were part of the Republican southern strategy that Nixon and Lee Atwater used to try and get the southern votes. Blacks during that time in the late 60s and early 70s began voting overwhelmingly for democrats. And never looked back.

 

[Boiler Buck]

The Voting Rights Act and Civil Rights Acts were both passed by a Democratic President. Clinton's economic policies did more to build up black wealth than any President before or since. I've seen firsthand how the Affordable Care Act has brought healthcare access to millions of Americans, many of them black.

I'm not saying you're racist, but if you think GOP policies benefit black people, you're pretty deluded.

I never mentioned GOP policy. Not once in the post you are responding to.

But to your point.....you are deluded. Dem POLICY.....

1. School Unions insure poor schools that keep the poor blacks with no way out. Worked for 2 years in them....worse schools in state.

2. Dem Housing units - full of drugs and bad characters. Yet stuffed full of minorities. Worked in one for 3 years with youth programs. Tragic place to raise a family.

3. Dem Abortion centers were placed near convenient to housing centers, likely responsible for killing more blacks than any other factor.

4. Dem financial aid for poor moms.....resulted in fatherless homes. Correlates highly to youth incarceration, criminal behavior and drug use in those homes.

So yea, Dem policy has been a disaster for both black and poor families. No question.

 

[Boiler Buck]

I'll say it. Bad policy.

No. Not bad policy to cut the bloated fed budget when new requests are made. That is just nuts to say........
If it was your house or my budget that is exactly what most would do. Cut the vacation because well, need the car repair.

The repubs including the conservatives in the Supreme Court and also including uncle Clarence Thomas did gut the 1965 Voting Rights bill back in 2013. They took out preclearance which was a key aspect of the law.

In 2013 the supreme court gutted voting rights – how has it changed the US?

The supreme court struck down a formula at the heart of Voting Rights Act – now voters who are discriminated against bear the burden of proving they are disenfranchised

Yeah, but the repub law makers around the country supported that decision. That Supreme Court decision in 2013 laid the ground work for the Republican voting changes after the 2020 election. If the law wasn’t gutted, the republicans would have had to get permission from the US Justice Department to make those voting law changes.

I posted a link about one of those changes in Ga, after which there was record voter turnout. If repubs intended to reduce turnout, they did a lousy job, wouldn't you agree?

If Uncle Tom is defined as a Black man (Joe would say 'boy') considered to be excessively obedient to white people, then you are an Uncle Tom for your excessive obedience to whatever the establishment white dems tell you. Clarence Thomas, in contrast, pushed back on Joe Crow and the other dem libs in his confirmation hearing.

The record turnout was due black churches, black radio stations etc. getting the the word out to make sure people get out to vote to counter these suppression law changes. Voter registration drives among blacks across the US were up. The voter suppression laws may or may not have worked but the attempt was obviously there and may have backfired.

 

[Boilermaker03]

Actually 44 Democrats voted for the Civil Rights Act and only 27 Republicans supported it. Goldwater, the 1964 GOP nominee, opposed the Civil Rights Act.

The GOP has voted to gut the provisions of the Voting Rights Act, which has allowed North Carolina to be gerrymandered to the point that the state legislature is completely unrepresentative of the state's political makeup.

Again, there were more Democrats in office at that time. The facts remain that a much higher percentage of Republicans voted for it than Democrats.

 

[Boilermaker03]

Well 70% is a pretty damn good start wouldn't you think?

The Dixiecrats didn’t switch until after civil rights and voting bills. A lot were part of the Republican southern strategy that Nixon and Lee Atwater used to try and get the southern votes. Blacks during that time in the late 60s and early 70s began voting overwhelmingly for democrats. And never looked back.

No they didn't. You have no evidence for this either. The vast majority of Dixiecrats died as Democrats. The reality is that The South slowly started to become less racist, thus over time becoming more Republican. Republicans won Florida as far back as 1928 and more regularly winning it from 1952 on.

Mississippi and Alabama became swing states in 1960 and went red for the first time in 1964. Nixon's "Southern Strategy" was so good, that in 1968 the entire South outside of Florida went for the independent candidate, who was in essence a racist Democrat. The South voted all blue again in 1976. 1980 is the real key year that the South started to become more solidly red. However, in 1992 LA, AR TN and GA all voted Democrat. Many states over the years have gone Dem. In fact since 1964, the only years that the South went completely red were 1972, 1984, 1988, 2000, 2004 and 2016. Unlike the way the South used to vote.

So... the reality is that it would appear that the South started becoming less racist and more Republican around 1980 and over the years states voted on policy. Race became a tool of the Left in order to sway the weak minded and uninformed.

As a side note, Blacks were first allowed to vote around 1870 with the passing of the 15th amendment. The South stated going red back then until Jim Crow laws really kicked in. That's when the South became solid blue.

That's the only true statement that you made.

 

[Boilermaker03]

That's the only true statement that you made.

Please tell me what else I stated that was false, because pretty much everything I've stated is supported by facts. South was going red when Blacks could vote. Went DEEP blue when Jim Crow kicked in. Once CRA was passed there was no more voting for segregation, so it started going red again. The South may have had some racists, but that doesn't mean their voting patterns supported racists to this day. That is the thought process of a child.

@BNIBoiler @RDUBoiler

Here is a pretty definitive write-up about the supposed party switch nonsense. It shows, not only presidential elections, but also Congressional and Governor elections. PROVES that the South didn't switch when the leftist narrative claims it did. Supports the idea that the South switched as it became less racist over time.


What reasons do Republicans give for the shift of the South from Democratic to Republican in the 1960s?

The answer is that there was no shift in the south from Democrat to Republican in the 1960s.

Let’s take a look at how the country voted from 1960 to 2000 by state:

1960 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

1964 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

1968 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

1972 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

Let me pause here. We see Democrats winning in 1960, Republicans in 1964, Wallace in 1968, and Republicans winning the entire country in 1972. So whatever assumptions you want to make about the South at this time, you have to to the rest of the country

Let’s keep going:

1976 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

^This runs counter to your initial claim. Obviously, the Republicans didn’t control after the 1960s

1980 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

1984 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

1988 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

^Like in 1972, you have to make the same assumptions of 1980, 1984 and 1988 of the South as the rest of the country.

1992 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

1996 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

2000 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

^We see that the entirety of the South doesn’t actually solidly vote Republican until about 2000.

But I personally think looking at presidential elections is very limited. We know people blame gerrymandering and suppression for all sorts of turnouts.

So let’s look at congressional results.

1988 United States House of Representatives elections - Wikipedia

Let me pause here… notice that we are now in 1988 and the Democrats still control the entirety of the South and in no election we’ve seen has that changed.

Let’s keep going.

1992 United States House of Representatives elections - Wikipedia

1996 United States House of Representatives elections - Wikipedia

2000 United States House of Representatives elections - Wikipedia

Look at that. It isn’t until 1996 that we see the Republicans take over the South in congress!

But wait! There's more!

Let’s do governorship. Let’s look at the early 1970s, enough time for parties to “switch”.

1970 Alabama gubernatorial election - Wikipedia

1970 Arkansas gubernatorial election - Wikipedia

1970 Georgia gubernatorial election - Wikipedia

1970 Louisiana Governor John McKeithen - Wikipedia

1972 North Carolina gubernatorial election - Wikipedia

1970 South Carolina gubernatorial election - Wikipedia

1970 Texas gubernatorial election - Wikipedia

1970 Tennessee gubernatorial election - Wikipedia

1970 Virginia Governor Mills Godwin - Wikipedia

All but two remained Democrat.

The whole idea and premise is wrong.

I’m not going to do the Senate, because I think you get the idea:
1960 United States Senate elections - Wikipedia

But you can go through them yourself and see that the pattern is the same.

This idea that the south switched Republican after 1964 is false and it’s dishonest. And what’s worse, is that it’s perpetuated despite easily accessible information proving that the premise is wrong.

I never said that the south switched to republican after 1964. They are certainly red states now, though. I've always said that the republicans became a racist party during the late 60s and 70s. Thanks in part to Lee Atwater.

Let me ask you. Do you think this current crop of republicans in the House and Senate vote for the 1960s Civil Rights and Voting Rights Bills? Remember Rand Paul and other Libertarians are republicans. Rand Paul already said a few years ago that he would not.

There's zero proof of this. None. Not in policy, not in voter base, nothing. I know you're going to state something stupid like the racists vote Republican, but that is not evidence that Republicans are racist. Correlation does not prove causation. AND, these moronic groups are dying out. Their memberships are dropping year after year and are pretty much only in the low thousands (3,000) as opposed to in the millions back when they were Democrats.

Yes I do. You're always going to get a few that won't. You'll never get 100% so picking out one or two people out of hundreds to prove your point is cherry picking at best.

Also, comparing the Civil Rights bill with the Voting Rights bill is dishonest (assuming you're referring to the most recent one).

Until you start to think for yourself, you're going to keep making the same mistakes. Hopefully some day you will realize the spell you've been under and will thank me for being honest with you.

It's ridiculous first of all because even the racist Democrats were able to get 61% of their people to vote for the 1964 bill, so saying NO Republican today would have voted for it is patently absurd and demonstrates just how out of touch from reality your mind set is on this issue.

First of all, again and again, stop saying that the Dems control what I/we think. “The blacks” were the ones that initially complained about these laws that actually began after Obama was elected. Particularly voter ID. The Republican strategists, doing their jobs by the way, found out that a lot blacks in the large cities did not have a state issued ID for various reasons.

Move forward to 2020. After the the false election was stolen BS, and loss of the WH, the repub districts in red states stepped up the game of voter suppression under the guise of protecting the voting process. Voter ID was not much of an issue anymore as folks did adjust and got their IDs. And some perhaps just did not and could not vote.

What did happen was that, republicans strategists and law makers in red states decided notice how the blacks as well as democrats like to vote. Such as absentee, mail in, drop boxes, Sunday voting, (your que Boneman) etc. Then decided to change the voting laws to restrict, now the Dems, to make it harder to vote.

As far as record numbers coming out to vote. I already answered it. The attempt to suppress the vote was obviously there. But it backfired on the republicans. What happened was that it pissed off people. Black talk radio and social media went all out to mobilize people to get out to vote. If you are not registered, get registered. Don’t have an ID, get one and vote. Plus the fact of a horrible and evil president. Horrible Republican lawmakers that people wanted out of office like the female Senator in GA at the time. The Dems came out in numbers to vote. Doesn’t help the republicans to put out ignorant candidates like Hershel Walker and Dr. Oz.

Fetterman winning is kinda my point. Even though I like Fetterman, he has some serious medical issues. Because of those medical issues, he performed horribly in the debates. A good republican candidate should have won easily. Instead, the Republicans put up another MAGA candidate, Dr. Oz. Similar to Walker, Oz is a carpet bagger with no political experience at all. That also came across in the debates. The republicans in PA are the ignorant ones to nominate someone like Dr. Oz. Similar in GA, and even more ignorant is nominating someone foolish like Hershel Walker. You can argue Dr. Oz. But there is no way that Hershel Walker should be near public office. You can't tell me that GA republicans couldn't do better than Hershel Walker. Again, the GA republican voters that nominated Walker are the ignorant ones.

 

[tjreese]

The Voting Rights Act and Civil Rights Acts were both passed by a Democratic President. Clinton's economic policies did more to build up black wealth than any President before or since. I've seen firsthand how the Affordable Care Act has brought healthcare access to millions of Americans, many of them black.

I'm not saying you're racist, but if you think GOP policies benefit black people, you're pretty deluded.

You should call him racist whether he is or not. Calling someone racist is underused and since we know around half the country supports the party of Intersectionality we know half the country is racist and that is just one branch of that evil platform. That party is also sexist? When you consider those legal or illegal...dead or alive that voted for the Intersectionality Party Platform as a sampling of the total population we have hundreds of millions of racists and sexists walking the streets like everyone else and they don't even recognize it.

I'm reminded of Edmund Burke and it is our duty to point out the active racist and sexist platform. MLK wanted people to be judged by their character and not their color and in his honor we should do such. When we see the security officer that tried to make a difference and was killed in one of the BLM/Antifa riots we should witness and honor his character and not that he was black.

There are many examples, but if there is a sincere desire to fight the sexists and racists, then we need to speak up to all those that do not look to character, but to color in all their opinions. These racist and/or sexist rent a riots cause division between Americans

You can’t be serious that John Fetterman was a better candidate than Dr. Oz. Pennsylvania has a lot of ignorant voters.

There are a LOT of ignorant voters...believe me and I'm not only talking about the live ones either.

First of all, again and again, stop saying that the Dems control what I/we think. “The blacks” were the ones that initially complained about these laws that actually began after Obama was elected. Particularly voter ID. The Republican strategists, doing their jobs by the way, found out that a lot blacks in the large cities did not have a state issued ID for various reasons.

Move forward to 2020. After the the false election was stolen BS, and loss of the WH, the repub districts in red states stepped up the game of voter suppression under the guise of protecting the voting process. Voter ID was not much of an issue anymore as folks did adjust and got their IDs. And some perhaps just did not and could not vote.

Nice narrative, but totally false and easily provable by actual results. You're lying to yourself.

What did happen was that, republicans strategists and law makers in red states decided notice how the blacks as well as democrats like to vote. Such as absentee, mail in, drop boxes, Sunday voting, (your que Boneman) etc. Then decided to change the voting laws to restrict, now the Dems, to make it harder to vote.

As far as record numbers coming out to vote. I already answered it. The attempt to suppress the vote was obviously there. But it backfired on the republicans. What happened was that it pissed off people. Black talk radio and social media went all out to mobilize people to get out to vote. If you are not registered, get registered. Don’t have an ID, get one and vote. Plus the fact of a horrible and evil president. Horrible Republican lawmakers that people wanted out of office like the female Senator in GA at the time. The Dems came out in numbers to vote. Doesn’t help the republicans to put out ignorant candidates like Hershel Walker and Dr. Oz.

Dude, you're so damn delusional. The reality is that Dems have been using the weak voting laws to cheat for decades. There's very well known accounts of this in mayoral elections in Chicago, Philly, etc. We even linked the most recent cases of voter fraud using mail in ballots. It was Democrats doing it. Face it. Democrats and cheating goes hand in hand. THAT's what the voter ID laws were to go after. This narrative about blacks not having I.D. to vote is bullshit. Never has been a thing. In fact, blacks when questioned about it say they think it's racist that someone thought they were unable to have an I.D.

It's also totally bullshit that blacks in inner cities didn't have I.D. until the supposed "voter suppression" laws were passed. Seriously, what a stupid take. Here's what inner city black people think of voter I.D. laws.



Note, that it's only the white liberals that say voter I.D. is racist. Where are they getting these ideas? Hmm. Maybe it's the lying media and the Dem party.

The REALITY is that most blacks have been in support of voter I.D. laws. Now run along and get your next response from your Liberal hive mind.
