However, in recent decades many would argue that there has been a complete reversal of roles in the South, with Republicans adopting much of the Dixiecrat positions.

The Republican party "an active force for repression" in the South?

You're not from the South, are you?

The Democrat Dixiecrats were an active force for repressions. However, in recent decades many would argue that there has been a complete reversal of roles in the South, with Republicans adopting much of the Dixiecrat positions.

You haven't responded to my original post. But I'll undertake to explain the source of your misperception.

1. It is absolutely true that much of the black population in the South continues to experience repression.

2. But it is also absolutely true that the Republican party -- which now governs every state in the South -- has nothing to do with this repression.

3. The source of modern-day repression is the black Democrat political bosses that run specific counties and cities in the South.

As a rule, counties and cities run by black politicians are havens for corruption. The counties and municipalities will be economically backward, local industry will be extorted, the governmental pension funds will be bankrupted and the local blacks exploited for their vote.

Each black-run county tends to have its "Senatuh Sanduhs" (Dallas Co, AL) -- and they are little different from the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the North.
