I dont see ANY racism in neither of both photos.

Of course you don't. Thank you for confirming the whole point of this conversation.

Falsehood: Contrary to popular misconception, the parties never "switched" on racism.

Here are some facts that the willfully ignorant prefer to overlook: http://www.nytimes.c...-flag.html?_r=0

Not to mention efforts to solve a problem that doesn't exist: http://prospect.org/...mes-tight-races

And http://www.theguardi...MP=share_btn_tw

We should also note that, despite protestations to the contrary, a higher percentage of even Southern Democrats voted for the Civil Rights Act than did Southern Republicans: https://twitter.com/...69160264548352. The same holds true for northern Democrats and Republicans. It's fair to say, however, that 1960s Republicans had far fewer lunatic racists than they do today.

Rich One Why? They are both one and the same person.It wasn't his idealism that made him a revolutionary.It was his egocentrism and vanty.Even as he died,he souted to the Bolivian soldier who shot him," No tire,soy el Che,no tire!." Don't shoot.I am Che.Don't shoot !".

explain!!!

explain!!!

We have in multiple other threads. You insist on holding on to your ego/ethno-centric ideas about race. There is no reason to attempt to explain anything to you.

Maybe calling you "sudaquito" will help you understand. It's my new term of endearment for you.

I will keep the image of the young Ernesto Guevara, an idealist student in Cordoba. The Ernesto Guevara revolutionary with the black beret, I can forget

This "idealist" nice guy only exists in the Motorcycle Diaries movie. He was who he was, a coward, mass murderer, racist, opportunist who for some bizarre historical irony, became a worshipped personality.

Are you saying that many Southern Democrats did not switch to the GOP after the passing of the Civil Rights Act?

"By 1962, the Republicans were pretty routinely winning Southern states in Presidential elections, and there were twelve Republicans from the South: two in Texas, two in Virginia, four in Tennessee, two in North Carolina, and two in Florida. But that doesn't explain the "redness" of many of the Southern districts. At this point, a near-majority of Southern Democrats had voting records that placed them on the right side of the ideological spectrum, even excluding civil rights votes."

In other words, by 1964, most Democrats were already voting like Republicans on non-racial issues. On a blank slate, these Democrats would be Republicans; they were true DINOs. But three things kept these Democrats from actually calling themselves Republicans: Jim Crow, seniority and Herbert Hoover.

This is why we see such little change from the general trend post-1964, even with the end of Jim Crow's strange career. Republicans picked up a few Congressional seats. J. Strom Thurmond became a Republican, and a few other prominent Democrats followed suit. But the Southern Congressional delegations continued to be dominated by Democrats. Almost all of the signatories to the Southern Manifesto remained Democrats until they left Congress. Some, like Russell Long and John Stennis served as Democrats into the 1980s. When Haley Barbour ran against Stennis in 1982, he lost by a nearly 2:1 margin. George Wallace was elected Governor of Alabama as a Democrat in 1982."
