Until the 1960's most white southerners were democrats. When democrats pushed civil rights for all Americans, white southerners in the 1970's and 1980's overwhelmingly switched to Republican.
Any questions?

I teach history and I have to tell you that it is really not the case. The South used to be filled with racists that happened to vote as democrats. The South is still filled with crazy racists and they generally vote republican now. It is really a coincidence. It is also a coincidence that many people think that all republicans have money. News flash to the closed minded...it is not always like this, things change all the time, the trend will change in a few years, just give it time.

NO, most republicans are white. The REAL RACISTs vote democrat and have dark skin. Have you ever noticed the only ones helping the 3rd world are white while those who destroy the 3rd world are the people who live there. The darks oppress their own people. Just look at Africa, it was much better off when us whites ran the show. Now that darkie is in control, look at how "great" things are. Have you ever thought if blacks werent brought over here to America for a better life they would have been born in Africa and could die of AIDS or get their hands chopped off by dark and evil forces while being paid a quarter a day to mine diamonds.

We are all racist to some degree and racism isnt only something white people are guilty of. Tootles.

Well, this is naturally the case. Democrats want to open the borders (especially the Mexican Border sinc ethey want more votes). Republicans want to close the border (there's already over 300,000,000 people in the United States). Racists want to purify the country. In order to do that, the first step is to close the borders. Therefore, Racists tend to be Republicans but the majority of Republicans aren't racist, just fed up with government spending and illegal immigrants.

Racism is not a defining characteristic of what makes one a Republican. Republicans favor a smaller government. Many of the public works which Republicans do not feel are necessary may disproportionately benefit people of color. This is not necessarily because they are racist, but they believe all of government should be smaller.

No, they generally vote and become democrats. Look at senator Byrd, he used to be in KKK.

If republicans were racist, why did they vote G.W. back into office knowing they'd be reinviting blacks like Rice and Powell back into power? Bush has the most ethnically diverse cabinet in history.

The republican party was started by lincoln to combat slavery.

I certainly have examine the e book on the subject of the failure of Reconstruction interior the Southern states. Many black reformers and their Republican supporters (sure, they have been then like the Democrats now) have been puzzled and murdered by skill of white supremacists and KKKs for the period of those circumstances. those human beings believed till the tip that there is desire of racial equality and magnificent destiny for the Southern states.

Do you really think all the racism is only on the right? Libs get a free pass when it comes to racism.

I would say that's a fair assesment. You don't see many Republicans of color.
