Because you are one of them you don't see it. LOLThat's possibly the biggest load of horse manure I've ever seen.These poor dumb southerners don't realize they vote against their own financial interests. Even the middle class ones are hurting themselves but they don't know it because they are middle class.P
The racists or nationalists are usually Republican because blacks vote democratic. Please don't tell me southern kkk votes with black people or for Obama.The race-card always seems to involve a Democrat.
The KKK is and always will be a Southern Democrat club.
The kkk loves trumps message. Which party is he in? The kkk also loves libertarian. Not to mention the tea party that yells the n word.

In the Myth of the Southern Strategy, research is presented that shows that poor whites in the south continued to vote based on economic interests after the Dems finally started supporting Civil Rights.

"Everyone knows that race has long played a decisive role in Southern electoral politics. From the end of Reconstruction until the beginning of the civil rights era, the story goes, the national Democratic Party made room for segregationist members — and as a result dominated the South. But in the 50s and 60s, Democrats embraced the civil rights movement, costing them the white Southern vote. Meanwhile, the Republican Party successfully wooed disaffected white racists with a “Southern strategy” that championed “states’ rights.”
It’s an easy story to believe, but this year two political scientists called it into question. In their book “The End of Southern Exceptionalism,” Richard Johnston of the University of Pennsylvania and Byron Shafer of the University of Wisconsin argue that the shift in the South from Democratic to Republican was overwhelmingly a question not of race but of economic growth. In the postwar era, they note, the South transformed itself from a backward region to an engine of the national economy, giving rise to a sizable new wealthy suburban class. This class, not surprisingly, began to vote for the party that best represented its economic interests: the G.O.P. Working-class whites, however — and here’s the surprise — even those in areas with large black populations, stayed loyal to the Democrats. (This was true until the 90s, when the nation as a whole turned rightward in Congressional voting.)
The two scholars support their claim with an extensive survey of election returns and voter surveys. To give just one example: in the 50s, among Southerners in the low-income tercile, 43 percent voted for Republican Presidential candidates, while in the high-income tercile, 53 percent voted Republican; by the 80s, those figures were 51 percent and 77 percent, respectively. Wealthy Southerners shifted rightward in droves but poorer ones didn’t.
To be sure, Shafer says, many whites in the South aggressively opposed liberal Democrats on race issues. “But when folks went to the polling booths,” he says, “they didn’t shoot off their own toes. They voted by their economic preferences, not racial preferences.” Shafer says these results should give liberals hope. “If Southern politics is about class and not race,” he says, “then they can get it back.” "
Middle class ppl shouldn't vote GOP either. They do because of wedge issues. God, gays, guns and racism.
In this country, we call that a nose.Thank you for proving my point,You have nothing but insults, so it appears that you are the stupid one.You are afraid to listen to a Black man.
No idiot, I said quite clearly that I've heard it all before. How stupid are you exactly?
Your illiteracy isn't my fault, moron.
Lol, dude, you have no point other than the one between your ears.

As whites become a MINORITY, we cannot afford to give preferential treatment to blacks or others.
So dont give preferential treatment to the minority because the majority will become the minority one day? If that isnt the funniest thing. He makes it sound like being a minority is a disadvantage. But that cant be true because whites tell minorities all the time how equal it is.

YOur opinion on that is another matter.
THe point is they did not switch sides because of the dems flipping on Civil RIghts. The poor southern whites didn't flip until the 90s, 30 years after the point the Southern Strategy was supposed to have done it's Evul Work.
Lee Atwater. That's his name. Look him up. That was the 80's my friend.

Which is stupid. People aren't a race of people, they are individuals. As has been pointed out (like it needed to be?) no white person today owned a slave and most don't even have it in their history here and many blacks don't either.Heres the deal. Blacks were wronged. And that's why black society is the way it is.
Saying your race was wronged so you act out in a xyz fashion as a result is one of the most retarded things I've ever heard of.
Well race doesn't exist in biology, it's a societal construct.
And societies do wrong "races".

Even the middle class ones are hurting themselves but they don't know it because they are middle class.In the Myth of the Southern Strategy, research is presented that shows that poor whites in the south continued to vote based on economic interests after the Dems finally started supporting Civil Rights.
From that right wing rag the New York Times.

"Everyone knows that race has long played a decisive role in Southern electoral politics. From the end of Reconstruction until the beginning of the civil rights era, the story goes, the national Democratic Party made room for segregationist members — and as a result dominated the South. But in the 50s and 60s, Democrats embraced the civil rights movement, costing them the white Southern vote. Meanwhile, the Republican Party successfully wooed disaffected white racists with a “Southern strategy” that championed “states’ rights.”
It’s an easy story to believe, but this year two political scientists called it into question. In their book “The End of Southern Exceptionalism,” Richard Johnston of the University of Pennsylvania and Byron Shafer of the University of Wisconsin argue that the shift in the South from Democratic to Republican was overwhelmingly a question not of race but of economic growth. In the postwar era, they note, the South transformed itself from a backward region to an engine of the national economy, giving rise to a sizable new wealthy suburban class. This class, not surprisingly, began to vote for the party that best represented its economic interests: the G.O.P. Working-class whites, however — and here’s the surprise — even those in areas with large black populations, stayed loyal to the Democrats. (This was true until the 90s, when the nation as a whole turned rightward in Congressional voting.)
The two scholars support their claim with an extensive survey of election returns and voter surveys. To give just one example: in the 50s, among Southerners in the low-income tercile, 43 percent voted for Republican Presidential candidates, while in the high-income tercile, 53 percent voted Republican; by the 80s, those figures were 51 percent and 77 percent, respectively. Wealthy Southerners shifted rightward in droves but poorer ones didn’t.
To be sure, Shafer says, many whites in the South aggressively opposed liberal Democrats on race issues. “But when folks went to the polling booths,” he says, “they didn’t shoot off their own toes. They voted by their economic preferences, not racial preferences.” Shafer says these results should give liberals hope. “If Southern politics is about class and not race,” he says, “then they can get it back.” "
Middle class ppl shouldn't vote GOP either. They do because of wedge issues. God, gays, guns and racism.
YOur opinion on that is another matter.
THe point is they did not switch sides because of the dems flipping on Civil RIghts. The poor southern whites didn't flip until the 90s, 30 years after the point the Southern Strategy was supposed to have done it's Evul Work.
Lee Atwater. That's his name. Look him up. That was the 80's my friend.
Interestingly enough. A friend of my girlfriend's did an excellent documentary on him. You should check it out.

Willie Horton was a murderer let out of prison by Dukakis who raped and assaulted a woman and her husband for hours.
It was a completely valid issue, and reveal Dukakis to be a typical soft on crime lib.
There is something only Greeks and blacks get. I can't remember what it is right now but if you look how close Greece is to Africa I'm sure there's some past brotherhood or ancestry. I always know I had soul.Which is stupid. People aren't a race of people, they are individuals. As has been pointed out (like it needed to be?) no white person today owned a slave and most don't even have it in their history here and many blacks don't either.Heres the deal. Blacks were wronged. And that's why black society is the way it is.
Saying your race was wronged so you act out in a xyz fashion as a result is one of the most retarded things I've ever heard of.
Well race doesn't exist in biology, it's a societal construct.
And societies do wrong "races".
Really? How many whites have sickle cell anemia?
