Donald Trump and the Rise of the New Dixiecrats (Playing the Race Card)
Daily Beast ^ | March 2, 2016 | Goldie Taylor

There is one man who might be able to beat Donald Trump. But it would involve amending the Constitution, exhuming former Alabama governor George Wallace and re-constituting his ashes. The current Republican frontrunner has been able to accomplish something that Wallace, in his living days, could not. In the months since Trump announced his candidacy for the GOP presidential nomination, he has singlehandedly built a bi-partisan, largely white coalition of conservatives who are attracted to his nativist brand of economic populism. For them, the fine details of actual policy proposals appear to be less important than the notion that Trump is the one who can take their country back.

The obligatory Confederate Flag filled with George Wallace and Trump in the middle. So I guess all those voters who went for Trump in NH and TN are racists too?

Of course they’re playing the race card. When there’s no other way for you to win, or if you’re just too stupid to come up with a way to win, you play the race card.

It just never ends with the media always blasting southerners with their own personal hatred and biases, and of course playing the race card any chance they get. As a native New Englander I’m so tired of my fellow Americans in the south getting treated like crap by the media.

The relentless playing of the race card is EXACTLY the (one of many) reason Trump is on the rise: People are SICK AND TIRED of the lies and manipulation coming from the Left.
Political Correctness is Fascisms’ younger, more attractive sister.

Thank you for that. It does get old.

As a southerner I do appreciate your kindness regarding the smears we have faced for many years. As more people around the country become familiar with the blessings of diversity I can’t help but notice a general softening of opinion regarding the South.

It’s because we are the worst they hate

White

Chrustian

In areas with large black populations

The irony is white trash that would have been klan 75 years ago is now so full of super fat pink cheeked little shuts girls producing husband less multiple illegitimate mulatto children at such a rate that in a generation or two the poor south will be more mixed race than either black or white

Places like Lebanon TN or Columbia TN

It’s now endemic

You’d think the media would applaud the ultimate destruction of the white south

exhuming ... and re-constituting his ashes

Is it normal to cremate someone then bury the ashes? Guess I'm fortunate to not have had much experience with funerals.

I’m not a Trump supporter but this article comparing him to George Wallace is total BS. I remember Wallace’s campaign materials which were riddled with open racism and hate. Nothing like Trump.

This really resonates with me because every time I hear Donald Trump speak I flash on Boss Hogg.

By invoking the dixiecrats they are coming perilously close to acknowledging that the big racist party was (and is) the democrats, which is where the dixiecrats came from.

I read recently that burial of ashes is required if a person is Catholic, but I really don’t know.

DH, the dogs & I are planning to have our collective ashes buried.
Otherwise, there’s no telling where we’ll end up & ‘’we’d’’ get separated if they were scattered. lol That won’t do.

Sad fact is the race card wins every time for the left. Unless Trump fights this tooth & nail they will define him, and he will lose.
