All that 19th century history about protecting the rights of blacks in the United States is correct. But the republican and democratic parties switched sides on this issue in the 20th century.
When LBJ pushed for protecting voting rights for blacks in the 1960’s, a large percentage of southern white democrats switched to the republican party in protest.
The republican party of Lincoln was the true party of liberals on the issue of civil rights in the 1800’s. The democrats who opposed them, the socalled Dixiecrats or blue dog democrats, became republicans. Their prodigy now dominates the GOP.
The civil rights issue totally turned these parties upside down 50 years ago. Bigots became republicans and liberals became democrats. I sort of wonder if the illegal immigration debacle isn’t going to result in another political party re-alignment in the immediate future.”
Simply not true.If it is then they should have no problem giving us many, many names of those who switched parties. I suspect they will able to name less than a handful In addition the Democrat Party and liberal white guilt have done almost irreparable harm to the African Amercian Community. One need only look at the current campaign to see the disdain Democrats hold for African Americans who wander off the Plantation.
