She sure doesn’t seem to be much of a scholar, we did better research in Junior High school.
Thank you Ansel! I appreciate your help!
Remember, though, it was Northern Blacks that accounted for that switch in 1936. Only a small number of Southern Blacks were enfranchised. Many still did remain Republican until the 1960s. Even in border states like Maryland, they were not reflexively Democrat across the board. In 1950, for example, Blacks voted for Conservative Republican John Marshall Butler (an ally of Sen. Joe McCarthy’s), ousting the leftist (and segregationist) Democrat Millard Tydings.
It was the radicalization of the Black vote in the 1960s that generally made it difficult or impossible to get much more than a small % of the Black for the GOP candidates. Even liberal Republican Governor of Delaware Russ Peterson, running for reelection in 1972, had bent over backwards to accommodate the Black community, and they voted overwhelmingly for his Democrat opponent (in the election that also swept out Sen. Caleb Boggs in favor of Joe Biden). He went to the Black ministers afterwards and was incredulous... they said, “We like you, but you’re a Republican.”
By 1972, it was literally a measure of one’s Blackness how you voted Democrat. Look what happened when poor Sammy Davis, Jr. endorsed Nixon that year (he remembered well that Nixon treated him a lot better than JFK did in 1960, and it was JFK’s father that told the son to order Davis not to marry May Britt, the White Swedish actress, until AFTER the election — they were expertly playing both sides). Poor Davis was practically read out of being Black for his “apostasy” and had to go groveling to Jesse Jackson and the hustlers to get his “Black Card” back again.
This whole race voting thing has its own pathology to it. What Georgia Girl can’t comprehend is that she confuses reason with reality. Given how Blacks have been treated by the Democrats, both before and after the 1960s, you would rightly think that HOW could a Black person vote that way, but yet that’s exactly HOW they do. It’s not reasoned, it’s race, and that’s the sad reality.
Well like you said you were born in 1963 so you have no clue.
You’re being exceptionally rude, Georgia, and highly ignorant, especially after you’ve been corrected on your erroneous claims. I think you owe Ansel, Catherine and myself apologies here for your nasty comments and behavior. We’ve tried to be polite and present you with the facts, but you continue to repeat and cling to falsehoods and cognitive dissonance like its a religious sacrament, and that’s not how Conservatives behave, madam. I’m very disappointed in you. You’re usually far more reasoned than this.
Now, now. No need to get snarky because you were wrong about your radical,Jesus-denying, Communist-sympathizing, woman-beating adulterer being a Republican.
“We have tried to be polite”
From one of your cohorts:
“Now, now. No need to get snarky because you were wrong about your radical,Jesus-denying, Communist-sympathizing, woman-beating adulterer being a Republican.”
LOL! Still laughing.
So are you taking the day off? LOL!
I repeatedly asked you to point out in my posts where I was factually incorrect. You wanted to discuss your recollections of Georgia politics, I did just that. You have responded not with rebuttals, but with INSULTS. I think you got in over your head and decided to take the “liberal” way out rather than simply acknowledge that you were in the wrong. Apologizing would demonstrate you have an ounce of credibility and character, madam.
Quit while you are behind. The argument is over. Its been exhausted. The pros and cons have played out. Go on back over to the Robert E Lee MEMORIAL thread and spread some mischief over there. :-)
“Now, now. No need to get snarky because you were wrong about your radical,Jesus-denying, Communist-sympathizing, woman-beating adulterer being a Republican.”
LOL! Still laughing."
Honey, you must be kidding. You tell me I "don't have a clue" and expect me to kiss you? Not happening.
You wouldn't be laughing if you realized how foolish you appear to conservatives who still retain the ability to think and to reason. You're under some hyper-emotional, sentimentalized delusion that your experiences, whatever they might have been, affect the truth.
They do not.
It isn't necessary for one to have lived through those days to be able to read the words of MLK which condemn him as the America-hating radical he was.
I won't speak for any of the good folks on this thread, but personally, you don't have to apologize to me. I don't expect it. I understand that, for some reason, logic and intellect take flight for some few brainwashed conservatives when it comes to MLK. They are willing to excuse and minimize the filthy traits they roundly curse in others of his ilk. They've allowed themselves to become suckered into the mythology...plainly put, the lies.
So you go ahead with your worship of that leftist, and you tell yourself it's okay because, well...somebody had a maid. Or something.
Calm down before your head blows off. Its just an internet blog ya know. You don’t get a prize or anything for being obnoxious longer than anybody else. LOL!
Hey! My parents had a black maid back in the late 50's...she was very nice, though...much nicer than that Martin Lothar King fella.
Once a month, regularly, I AM prize-winningly obnoxious.
I am sure she was. My mom's family had a black lady who would come in and help them...the kids called her Aunt Sarah.
Her name was Alma...I was only five when she was there to take care of us (Mom had a bad heart), but I remember her kindness to this day. I am hopeful to see her again on the ‘other side’.
That’s a lovely thing to look forward to.
Man, what incredible deception, and so arrogantly and proudly proclaimed in your CHART - which does not specify LOCATION.
Other than that, you're a shining example of innocent honesty.
Too bad it tells the facts of the black vote, which is what was in question.
Not the black vote by state. So you guys just keep playing games in the promoting of myths and inaccuracies.
Oh yeah, and MLK was still not a republican.
