Democrat segregationist congressmen in the 1960s stayed in Congress into the 1990s, as Democrats. They stopped talking in favor of segregation but never spoke against it either (to first approximation). No Republican ever openly supported segregation, and that includes former Dems who switched parties.

The Democrat Party ranged from outright Stalinist Communists to segregationists. The segregationists were arguably the dominant wing, especially because they held all the committee chairs in Congress. The Republican Party ranged from fiscal conservatives like Taft and libertarians like Goldwater to liberals like Rockefeller. It's liberal/progressive wing was dominant, and the Republican Party was on average to the left of the Democrat Party. Certainly it was to the left on race matters, its old historical claim to being.<br /><br />In the 70's, the communist wing of the Democrat Party staged an intra-party coup and seized control. Hence McGovern, Mondale, Carter, Dukakis, Kerry, Biden. The coup drove out anyone to the right of Carter and all the segregationists. It cannot be denied that the Democrat right wing defected to the Republican Party and turned the South solid Republican until recently.<br /><br />As a result, the modern Democrat Party is a socialist party with a dominant cultural communist wing. It is also a black, brown, Jewish party with a strong anti-White message. It's still racist, but the roles of aggressor and victim in the party have changed.<br /><br />Harris, AOC, Keith Ellison et al are the future leadership of the Democrats. Pelosi, Schumer et al will fade into the background.<br /><br />A similar, almost mirror image process occurred in the Republican Party. All the old liberals (e.g., Jay Rockefeller) moved to the Democrat Party. Today the Republican party is a center-left party with a dominant liberal wing. (Name one liberal program or dogma the leadership opposes.)<br /><br />So, the claim that the parties switched roles is sorta true, more true than you representation.sykes.1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10954672321945289871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-28885472626860913762021-01-20T07:26:34.778-05:002021-01-20T07:26:34.778-05:00Follow the money.

Funny tho, that both of Bobby's brothers, were exposed for their abuse of women, who might have lived a better, if not longer life, had they not become entangled with the 'creme de la creme' of sick Democrat dickheads!~~~<br />OW~~~ <br /><br />"We need also remember that Attorney General Robert Kennedy had King under FBI surveillance, including the making of compromising tapes of King's extra-marital liaisons, providing the government excellent blackmail material against him.<br /><br />All these factors, in my view, had begun to take a toll on King; he aged dramatically in appearance, and started talking about issues not directly related to the civil rights struggle, e.g., the Middle East, Vietnam. Had he lived longer, we likely would have seen King becoming radicalized, pushed leftward as he sought to retain control of the movement--but, as noted before, we will never know."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-4781082741783575792021-01-19T23:11:13.434-05:002021-01-19T23:11:13.434-05:00Wild Badger Applause, for a very well written post...Wild Badger Applause, for a very well written post!SCOTTtheBADGERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859188068159799373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-8070239310540077122021-01-19T19:54:12.613-05:002021-01-19T19:54:12.613-05:00What about MLK's "indiscretions" wit...What about MLK's "indiscretions" with women other than his wife?SlowWalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170756771972526843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-86295830423613902912021-01-19T11:02:36.560-05:002021-01-19T11:02:36.560-05:00Well saidWell saidDiploMadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02316439950882822419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-46050862865099283842021-01-19T03:05:03.025-05:002021-01-19T03:05:03.025-05:00Since BLM matters most of all to NBA,

I live in Atlanta so My companies preferred airline was Delta. Since I traveled so much I was a Platinum Medallion frequent flyer member and frequently got bumped to first class. My company would only allow 1 business class trip a month. They were a bit cheap but if you traveled like I did you would be in first class most trips because of being bumped up.<br /><br />On a trip I had paid for business class. As I was waiting for the flight Coretta Scott King was at the Delta counter demanding that her economy seat and companion be upgraded to first class. The woman working the counter was explaining that first class was full. Mrs King got louder which caught the attention of a Delta supervisor. That supervisor bumped me and another passenger to economy. I was given 4 upgrade vouchers as compensation and basically told not to make any waves as it was a Delta policy to bump up Mrs King's ticket every time she flew. <br /><br />After I had used up my Delta vouchers I contacted my client's travel department. They were able to transfer my Delta miles to Continental for their OnePass frequent flyer program. I flew Continental for the rest of the time I was with the company.Tsquarednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-32320285615818488862021-01-18T18:10:28.451-05:002021-01-18T18:10:28.451-05:00He hoped for equality but that appeared to be a br...He hoped for equality but that appeared to be a bridge too far for some as it wasn't profitable.
