Real Racism: A History of the Democratic Party

[Pheonixops]

Who's this guy? What party is he from?

Yeah, that would be that conservative bigot George Wallace who was a white Southern conservative Democrat before he "found religion" after that attempt on his life. Before his "evolution" he stated things that many conservatives today may have borrowed from him. Here's an example:

" You and I know that that's extremely difficult to do where our newspapers are owned by out-of-state interests. Newspapers which are run and operated by left-wing liberals, Communist sympathizers, and members of the Americans for Democratic Action and other Communist front organizations with high sounding names.

However, we will not be intimidated by the vultures of the liberal left-wing press. We will not be deceived by their lies and distortions of truth. We will not be swayed by their brutal attacks upon the character and reputation of any honest citizen who dares stand up and fight for liberty. "

" It is perfectly obvious from the left-wing liberal press and from the left-wing law journals that what the court is saying behind all the jargon is that they don't like our form of government.

They think they can establish a better one. In order to do so it is necessary that they overthrow our existing form, destroy the democratic institutions created by the people, change the outlook, religion, and philosophy, and bring the whole area of human thought, aspiration, action and organization, under the absolute control of the court. Their decisions reveal this to be the goal of the liberal element on the court which is in a majority at present. "

"Now, let us examine the manner in which the Court has continuously chipped away at the concept of private property. It is contended by the left-wing liberals that private property is merely a legal fiction."

" I intend to give the American people a clear choice. I welcome a fight between our philosophy and the liberal left-wing dogma which now threatens to engulf every man, woman, and child in the United States.

I am in this race because I believe the American people have been pushed around long enough and that they, like you and I, are fed up with the continuing trend toward a socialist state which now subjects the individual to the dictates of an all-powerful central government. "
Modern History Sourcebook: George C. Wallace: The Civil Rights Movement: 1964

The above is a prime example of a CONSERVATIVE who was a Southern Democrat. Read those quotes and he sounds like your typical conservative talk show host and their minions. It's pretty laughable to see some jerk offs, mental midgets, and bigots here trying to lie to and mislead people stating that the likes of Bull Connor, Wallace, Thurmond were Liberals. Thanks for the LAUGH!!!

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

which party is NOW treating blacks like equals?


blacks know do you?

Do you happen to be black? I know plenty of black people in my neck of the woods that would tell these Democrats to go fuck themselves.

They are a tiny minority.

Sorry luv,

"The strategy of the State’s Rights Democratic Party failed. Truman was elected and civil rights moved forward with support from both Republicans and Democrats. This begs an answer to the question: So where did the Dixiecrats go? Contrary to legend, it makes no sense for them to join with the Republican Party whose history is replete with civil rights achievements. The answer is, they returned to the Democrat party and rejoined others such as George Wallace, Orval Faubus, Lester Maddox, and Ross Barnett. Interestingly, of the 26 known Dixiecrats (5 governors and 21 senators) only three ever became republicans: Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms and Mills E. Godwind, Jr. The segregationists in the Senate, on the other hand, would return to their party and fight against the Civil Rights acts of 1957, 1960 and 1964. Republican President Dwight Eisenhower proffered the first two Acts."

Urban Legends: The Dixiecrats and The GOP « Freedoms Journal

Do all of you know what the real party name of the Dixiecrats was?

The States' Rights Democratic Party.

They were CONSERVATIVES. The Dixiecrats came into being as a direct result of Truman's integration of the military and other civil rights measures being pushed by the LIBERAL wing of the Democratic Party.

The CONSERVATIVE Dixiecrat Democrats were trying to keep the liberal wing of the Democratic party from asserting its agenda,

the civil rights agenda, that had more or less been dormant under Roosevelt.

 

[Pheonixops]

He was conservative because you say so?

He was a conservative because FACTS say so. Are you trying to state that the Liberals were the ones brutalizing Blacks in the South so they could enforce Jim Crow, segregation, and keep the status quo?

The Democrats have been the racist party since its birth. Deal with it.

The Southern white racist democrats certainly were conservative racists. Today the Democrat party is the first to elect a Black President, the party who also has the highest amount of Black and Latino representatives, as well as other minorities such as Jews, etc.

You can be wrong as many times as you like.

I'll repeat the question:

Where are the Rockefeller Republicans today?

Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, but who gives a shit, CONSERVATIUVE REPUBLICANS voted FOR CIVIL RIGHTS.......GOLDWATER VOTED FOR MORE CIVIL RIGHTS THAn LIBERALS like Fullbright, and old nword LBJ (he liked to use it)

You are not a liberal on civil rights for minorities if you oppose civil rights for minorities. Fulbright might have been a liberal on a million and one issues but he was not a liberal on race.

Look at him change the subject...first it was party...next con/lib......NOW he defining people on one issue.......conservatives in the republican party voted for civil rights dumbass...doed that make them liberal?

 

[bendog]

It's shocking any african americans vote dimocrat. You'd think they'd be tripping over themselves to get to the gop.

 

[ScienceRocks]

This is one topic I'll stay out of...lol

Blacks were better off as a people when they had their own community that worked. We fucked it up with integration as we want the victimhood root instead of the equal root.

Now we got a mess.

[NYcarbineer]

Read the Dixiecrat Platform, with an eye to how much of it sounds like the Tea Party, and the Rand Paul crowd:

Platform of the States Rights Democratic Party
August 14, 1948


Unanimously Adopted at Oklahoma City, August 14, 1948

- 1 -

We believe that the Constitution of the United States is the greatest charter of human liberty ever conceived by the mind of man.

- 2 -

We oppose all efforts to invade or destroy the rights guaranteed by it to every citizen of this republic.

- 3 -

We stand for social and economic justice, which, we believe can be guaranteed to all citizens only by a strict adherence to our Constitution and the avoidance of any invasion or destruction of the constitutional rights of the states and individuals. We oppose the totalitarian, centralized bureaucratic government and the police nation called for by the platforms adopted by the Democratic and Republican Conventions.

- 4 -

We stand for the segregation of the races and the racial integrity of each race; the constitutional right to choose one's associates; to accept private employment without governmental interference, and to earn one's living in any lawful way. We oppose the elimination of segregation, the repeal of miscegenation statutes, the control of private employment by Federal bureaucrats called for by the misnamed civil rights program. We favor home-rule, local self-government and a minimum interference with individual rights.

- 5 -

We oppose and condemn the action of the Democratic Convention in sponsoring a civil rights program calling for the elimination of segregation, social equality by Federal fiat, regulations of private employment practices, voting, and local law enforcement.

- 6 -

We affirm that the effective enforcement of such a program would be utterly destructive of the social, economic and political life of the Southern people, and of other localities in which there may be differences in race, creed or national origin in appreciable numbers.

- 7 -

We stand for the check and balances provided by the three departments of our government. We oppose the usurpation of legislative functions by the executive and judicial departments. We unreservedly condemn the effort to establish in the United States a police nation that would destroy the last vestige of liberty enjoyed by a citizen.

- 8 -

We demand that there be returned to the people to whom of right they belong, those powers needed for the preservation of human rights and the discharge of our responsibility as democrats for human welfare. We oppose a denial of those by political parties, a barter or sale of those rights by a political convention, as well as any invasion or violation of those rights by the Federal Government. We call upon all Democrats and upon all other loyal Americans who are opposed to totalitarianism at home and abroad to unite with us in ignominiously defeating Harry S. Truman, Thomas E. Dewey and every other candidate for public office who would establish a Police Nation in the United States of America.

- 9 -

We, therefore, urge that this Convention endorse the candidacies of J. Strom Thurmond and Fielding H. Wright for the President

Is this the kind of Liberal Democrat the OP and his pals have been talking about throughout this thread?

 

[francoHFW]

OP- DUH. And since 1968, it's the GOP. Is this idiocy, dishonesty, or brainwashing lol?

It makes them liberal on the race issue.

Goldwater voted against the Civil Rights Act because he believed (wrongly) that it was unconstitutional.

States Rights was one of the main cards the segregationists played. When have Liberals ever been the standard bearers for States Rights?

Back then it was 'totalitarianism', nowadays it's 'tyranny' that the conservative tea party types rant about.

and 'Police Nation'...lol...sounds like textbook Rand Paul. Or maybe Wayne LaPierre and the 'jackbooted thugs'.

These whiteboys, past and present, are all cut from the same cloth.

Because of GOP (50% racists) and their war on the nonrich. The US nonrich get screwed and the minorities get squashed...

Plus, you won't find any blacks that agree, that's racist idiocy.
