Sloppy, simplistic 'Republicans are racists' writing by the author:

"That abruptly changed in the Sixties when the Democrats embraced civil rights for blacks, sending white southerners into the arms of the Republican party."

Yeah, it happened so abruptly that it took almost 30 years for the GOP to take the House.

He is also ignorant of the fact that it was the Southern Democrats who led the fight against Civil Rights legislation in the sixties.

Men like Kleagle Byrd and Al Gore's daddy.
