希拉里的美国:民主党的秘密历史;对欧巴马与希拉里的分析很好 但过度宣传共和党稍微有点太偏颇了
- [D'Souza] ''Deny, deny, deny. '' Instead of accepting blame, they shift the blame onto the very people who fought against their injustice.
Today's Democrats don't like to hear about their own history.
The Klan is a terrorist organization that has killed-- - A leftist terrorist organization.
- You can put whatever label you want.
- That's your game to play.
- No, that's important history.
No, we're not gonna play that game.
If you are racist, you're probably a Republican.
[D'Souza] Like a lot of Democrats, he's relying on the big switch.
That's the idea that the Democrats got racially enlightened and became the good guys, whereas the racists in the Democratic Party all became Republicans.
The big switch seems to be supported by the fact that blacks, who used to vote Republican, did switch over to the Democratic Party.
Also, Southern whites, who used to uniformly vote Democratic, now vote Republican.
Then there's Senator Strom Thurmond, the racist Democrat who became a Republican.
Even many Republicans today believe in the big switch.
But wait a minute. Blacks switched to the Democratic Party in the 1930s based on the promises of the New Deal.
They didn't do it because of race.
Many reluctantly moved to the Democratic Party, knowing they were joining the party of segregation and the Ku Klux Klan.
Southern whites moved over to the Republican Party much later, during the 1970s through the '90s, as the South became more prosperous.
Racism had declined dramatically in the South.
So, as the South became less racist, it became more Republican.
So, blacks and whites both switched parties for economic reasons.
The proof of this is in Byron Shafer and Richard Johnston's book, ''The End of Southern Exceptionalism.'' The authors provide data to show that the poorest, most racist whites never switched.
The ones that did switch were the nonracists, who were attracted to the Republican Party's message of opportunity, prosperity, and upward mobility.
