An Inconvenient Truth for the DNC

For more than 200 years, our party has led the fight for civil rights…..  http://www.black-and-right.com/the-democrat-race-lie/

A delegation prepared for an audience with President Woodrow Wilson, the archetypal Progressive Liberal Democrat.


The lies are big, bold and prominent.

  2. This issue has always been a big mystery to me. For most of the 20th century, the Democrats retained power by allying with racist, less educated, resentful, mostly southern factions. Many were called "Dixiecrats." In the 1960s with the arrival of the Civil Rights movement, the Democrats finally looked themselves in the mirror and said, "we can't do this anymore." LBJ swallowed hard and predicted that he would lose the south for generations by supporting voting rights legislation and civil rights, but that's what the Democrats did. Sure enough, there was a mass defection of angry southerners to the Republican party as Nixon gladly scooped up all those disaffected voters with his famous "southern strategy."

    Those voters have been a key part of the Republican successes ever since, and have even grown to dictate much of the Republican strategy in recent years as moderates are purged in the primaries. I keep waiting for the Republicans to look in the mirror like the Democrats did, and decide that it's just not worth it. It looks like that will never happen.

    The part that mystifies me is that intelligent black Americans such as Condoleezza Rice remember their childhoods when the Dixiecrats were the racists, and as a result became lifelong Republicans, but in doing so, they now align themselves with the very same segments of society that tormented them in their youths.
