Klan Spokesman Rush Limbaugh Runs the Welcome Wagon
Democratic racism is ancient history. In the Civil War, the Democrats were the party of secession and the Confederacy. In the 1930's, Democrats were still the party of the Solid South and they did perpetuate Jim Crow laws in the South. FDR fought World War II with a racially segregated military and he did nothing to confront the racism of Southern Democrats. All that changed with Harry Truman. Truman de-segregated the military and fought for strong Civil Rights laws throughout his presidency. However, he could not overcome the Dixiecrats and their filibusters of his proposed legislation. Truman's civil rights bills caused many Southern Democrats to bolt the party in 1948 and form their own Dixiecrat Party supporting Strom Thurmond for the presidency. Somehow, despite a splintered party, Truman was re-elected in 1948 and continued his battle for civil rights legislation. Strom Thurmond, the segregationist who had been the Dixiecrat cnadidate for president, later left the Democrats and joined the Republican Party. By that time, Thurmond had joined a huge migration of racists moving from the Democrats to the Republican Party which had become, and remains, their new home. They even have Klan spokesman Rush Limbaugh operating the Welcome Wagon.

You win this on Rush, but do you think that American Americans are racists? All black: schools, scholarships, websites, tv channels, magazines and clubs. Who are the real racists?
I am sorry, I ment to say "African Americans", not "American Americans."
Strum Thurman was a leader of the Dixiecrats that were a offshoot of the Democrats, not Republicans.
When the Dixiecrat Party folded, Strom Thurmond immediately became a Republican. Strom knew where he and his fellow Segregationists belonged. Strom was no fool -- he lived to be 100. Of course, in honor of Strom's 100th Birthday, GOP leader Trent Lott said that the USA would have been much better off if we had elected Strom Thurmond as our president in 1948. I'm sure you agree with Trent Lott, Anonymous, don't you?
The reason the Dixiecrats were an "offshoot of the Democrats" in 1948 is because that was the year the national Democratic Party, under Harry Truman, stopped tolerating segregation and began pushing Civil Rights legislation. The Southern segregationists bolted from the Democratic Party, formed their own splinter Dixiecrat Party, and nominated Strom Thurmond to run as their presidential candidate. When the Dixiecrat Party folded, after its sorry showing in the 1948 election, these segregationist Ex-Democrats joined the Republican Party, where they have remained ever since. Today, we see the opposite migration happening under our own eyes. The Republican Party is now turning itself into the Dixiecrat Party -- and will probably end up with the same amount of national following as the Dixiecrats had in 1948.
ummmm No.
Love Truman, but the dixiecrats were yours and part of your Demo History. Funny how Strum dissavoewed his racism when he became a republican. Only time he was a racist was in the Demo party. Nice
