Can anyone refute what she is saying with respect to the southern strategy?

Absolutely! Hey, look at NCGOP. Absolutely NO strategy. Nada!

BTW, democrats didn't move anyone out from anywhere. Black people were living in the big cities long before that.

As compared to the Democrats who've built a party with welfare drama mommas, pathetic minority male role models, and race baiting pimped whores?

Thank God for black conservatives who truly reflect the positive changes and movement in the community.

Oh Cynthia! America grows BROWNER not BLACKER. Ain't that a damn shame?

The causes and consequences of the Southern Strategy as it relates to African-Americans and the American political system. Richard Nixon's Southern Strategy (or as the Nixon administration would call it positive polarization) of the 1960s was a political platform that provided the final push in transforming the the party of Lincoln into the political party greatly favored by the great grandsons of the old Confederacy. This strategy was aimed at getting support from the traditionally Democratic South by promising not to promote sweeping social or economic changes in race relations.

I submit Marian Carr Knox and Dan Rather as exhibits (A) and (B) that "the political party greatly favored by the great grandsons of the old Confederacy" is the Democrat Party.

Marian Carr Knox is 86 years old, and a yellow-dog Democrat. She was 30 years old when Strom Thurmond ran for the presidency as a States Rights Democrat. Dan Rather, corn-pone Texan, has got Demmi-blue blood running through his veins.

Without checking, I'll posit that the "Southern Strategy" theory was created by a group of Lefty academics, who we now know are completely unreliable when it comes to historical facts.

I'll go even further and say that if one did some deep checking (imagine the Lefty academics doing that!!! ROTFLMPO!), one would find that the remaining Southern racists overwhelmingly vote Democrat. Examine Maryland: most of the state is a Democrat plantation. Its racist denizens were left pretty much alone during the Civil War, and look where they're at now. The Union killed a lot of the Southern racists in the rebelling states during the Civil War, and some of the South's traditions were only barely held together by the Knights before the South went Republican.

Liked it, eh?

It further occurred to me that blacks who vote Democrat, like Cynthia Tucker, are victims of the longest-running case of Stockholm Syndrome that the world has ever seen.

Actually, some of the "Societal Stockholm Syndrome" hits make for some VERY fascinating reading.

I think some rather take their chances with the democrat party, because of their experiences with republican people. That's why it's important to discuss issues. Cynthia Tucker can't discuss the issues otherwise the cover would be blown off the democrats.

Maddox is the only person named by Ms. Tucker as a racist... but she implies that Zell Miller once was and has now shown his true beliefs are still racist by supporting the racist President Bush in his reelection bid.

She is living in a fantasy world in which time stopped in about 1970. The world has changed. Yes, there are still racist out there but they are a fringe element wherever they are. The Republican party has shown itself to be the party of merit as in a meritocracy. The Democrats remain a party of coalitions and hidden deals. A lot of Blacks are starting to realize that unquestioning support for the Democrats will eventually neutralize their political power. For example the NAACP is "owned" lock, stock and barrel by the DNC. Why should anyone treat them as a civil rights organization when they do nothing but spout the DNC party line.

No,no, no. She's the enlightened. We're the benighted.

One big problem that the Democrats have is that they are the elite. But there's only so much room in the elite before it is no longer elite to be a member of the elite.

The so-called "civil rights act of 1964" was a Socialistic travesty. It is responsible for affirmative action which turns around and discriminates against whites, especially white males. Also it tells you who to hire, who to fire, who to do business with, who to promote. who to demote and attacks the right of free association among many other ills.
Ask Walter Williams.
Economic realities in the South would have led to blacks gaining parity with whites in terms of voting, accomodations and employment. In fact, most voting problems were happening only in a few Deep South counties where the Whites did not want to turn over control to a large majority of Blacks, many of whom were illiterate.

The GOP still has a problem: Its potential is limited. As the nation grows browner, more and more voters will be drawn to the all-inclusive ideals espoused by the Democrats.

This is exactly correct. The left is seizing permanent political power through an overtly racial program of colonialism. They are openly bragging about it. The only people pretending it isn't true, in the face of all evidence, are "conservatives" and Republicans. That's the brainwashing power of the media, backed up by the muscle of the government. Conservatives would rather see their political beliefs be destroyed, would watch their nation and even their civilization be destroyed, hell, would literally rather die than be called racists by those who gloat over their destruction.

The Democratic/nonwhite/leftist definition of racism is only whites can be racist, and all whites are born racist criminals. It takes a lot of gall for Tucker to talk about racism since this is a woman who has spent her entire career and life ignoring (which is to say, given her position, sponsoring and participating in) black on white racist violence. Virtually all the interracial murders in her area are black on white. For rape, it must be approaching 100%. There are vast areas of Atlanta that are no go zones for whites. Of these things Cynthia has little to say, I dare say she has mentioned the reality of racial violence in her career less often than she has mentioned Bob Jones. Thus she helps set up the atmosphere that makes them probable. The accusation here is not mere hypocrisy, but low level war criminality.
