I’m a white conservative from Florida, and so is my family. I was always raised on the basis of treating people the way I wanted to be treated. This is the golden rule of the Bible. Skin color means nothing to me, because it does not dictate a good or bad person. Actions do.
I think a big problem with radical liberals is that they see nothing but race and make everything about it. If they wish to be so progressive the color of someone’s skin shouldn’t matter at all right ? If they want everyone to be looked at equally why do they always identify people by which group they are classified as. I think it’s very hypocritical imo.
That is so hypocritical. Jesus was basically a radical liberal whose message was, "Just ignore and forgive what everybody else does to you---I'll sort it all out when I come back." Nobody is actually satisfied, happy, or secure living like that, and if Jesus were real, he would certainly not be a conservative or aligned with a conservative party.
Emily Keeling yeah, I see what your saying. If that’s what you think, than I can’t change your mind but, a big message from the Bible was free will. And as far as I’m concerned that’s what we have. That’s why you have choices you face every day. I’ve watched left sided videos and right sided videos. Cause I’d like to hear both sides of the conversation. I tend to get more hard evidence from the right. So i tend to lean more right. I’m not saying that the right hasn’t been wrong before. But currently at this point in history there is a lot more “open” diversity on the right. What I mean by that, is that you’ll see a black Women and a gay man having a conversation about how they were treated by the left when they said, “we are conservative”. Instead of debating with them they were neglected and told they weren’t black or they are hating themselves. When In fact the left is becoming a hive mind of like thinking people who tend to play the victim card and if you think differently your part of the problem. I could care less if your left, just lie less and stop manipulating people into this one mind. As for god, it seems like you don’t like him. And it makes sense. I know I use too. It’s cool though how changing your mindset really makes life great. You get more done, more productive. You make better choices. When you play victim you’ll be a victim,
Its not about North vs South any longer. Its Rural vs Metropolitan. The Democrats went into the major cities and took them all over, literally every single one.
SMH...Wow, ladies and gentleman, we have finally found a liberal who will admit that when self-sufficient and prosperous cities are overtaken by the useless and forever demanding Democrat thieves they quickly become lost shit-hole's just like California, Michigan, Illinois and NY.

I live in Oklahoma, a quarter of our population in my town are of Mexican descent. Many have had families living here since the 1800's. They call themselves Americans. Most I know are hard working Christians with strong families. Not like what we see crossing the borders now.

I am an immigrant and Texas was the first place I never ever been in a America, everyone was so welcoming and very kind even strangers in the streets. I got lost once and a white man offered to take me home. I felt so loved and all the people around me were so kind. Now I'm in the North, and everyone is kind of distant and not so welcoming. I have met a few nice people but the ones I see almost everyday are just not welcoming which shocked my whole view of humans and got into depression. I hope someday I'll go back to Texas again.
I lived in Northern states most my life and I can say people here are exactly as you described. Went to Texas for 3 months and people are so laid back and friendly. It shocked me too, I was confused as why people were being so friendly. Usually in the north it means they want something from you but in the south they just want to help and are being nice for no reason.
I'm mexican when i was working down south i never expirenced racism or discrimination. i know a lot of people who will agree with me. they treated us with respect, everyone was helpful and very welcoming. i feel they treated us based on charachter, values. i find liberal states to be the real racist who emphasize so much on color and race.

Because Democrats cant erase their past and need the black vote to win elections. As you can see now in the USA, Democrats are tearing down their very own statues to erase their history.
@The Life Analyst the parties never switched and in 1964 the democrats held the longest filibuster in United States history which lasted 75 days to kill the civil rights act. At least do your own research instead of moronically repeating the lies your puppet masters tell you.
@The Life Analyst facts don't lie the congressional records are there for all to see democrats were against the civil rights act same as they were against abolishing slavery . its not hard to learn facts you just have to try. I'm not sorry that your feelings are hurt by facts. The fact remains lies and feelings do not trump facts never have never will.

When all was said and done though, it was those exact same people who went berserk and rioted in the streets, calling for Trump's impeachment the day after he won the election. Now, they're throwing everything they can possibly think of at the Trump Administration in a desperate attempt to get him impeached. It's sad, really.

More than that. Thomas Sowell has retired, but I believe Walter Williams is still teaching. And STEM and business professors generally do a good job.

@Boris Goldstein You mean voter behavior that shows at least 40% Trump supporters are openly racist? How the Republicans platform is literally built to hurt black people?
Boris Goldstein I’m not a democrat, and overall hate the party’s politicians today, but this idea that the south has gotten dramatically less racist isn’t true. I live in rural Arkansas, and every time I overhear someone talking politics it’s always something negative about black people. “They’re too stupid to realize the democrats are using them” they’d straight up say. That idea is adopted by the majority of the Republican Party today. Also, as someone who would actually be considered left wing, stop calling the democrats radical leftists. They’re not.
Values based on skin color? Seriously, this video is a joke...it came out 5 years after the 1981 Lee Atwater interview was released in which he details what the Southern Strategy is and how it works.

Georgia here. My family supported Democrats until they started drifting too far left. Had nothing to do with race. We turned Republican with Reagan and for the most part stayed there.
Reagan was horrible though and Georgia was one of the most most affected state. Reagan is very overrated like jfk. Under him crime was at a all time high, illegal weapons dealer, tripled the national debt like Obama, taxes the poor and cut taxes for the rich. His approval rating wasn’t even high when he was elected and the only reason he won the election in a land slide because half of the country didn’t even vote, he barely won the popular vote. He also started wars and takes to much credit for ending the Cold War when in reality the Soviet Union did it to itself. He also expanded the drug war which affected a lot of black Americans a lot who live in Georgia. More on Reagan: The damage he did to the welfare state was huge and the explicit demonization of the poor and oppressed in this country. It was Reagan who gave birth to the image of the Welfare Queen, a huge black woman and her countless, uncontrolled offspring riding their way to the food stamps office in style while she sells drugs on the side to keep herself rolling in dough. Never mind that Reagan knowingly and maliciously allowed the AIDS crisis to rampage throughout the gay community for years and only acted when Ryan White got it from a blood transfusion. The first time the AIDS crisis was even mentioned by Reagan, he laughed about it. You know, in certain circles, allowing a pandemic to go unchecked because it’s eliminating an undesired minority is consider a form of genocide. Never mind that stupid Reaganomics that was an unmitigated disaster that put us through multiple recessions and dangerously unbalanced the budget as he slashed taxes and ran military spending up to record levels, a tradition all of his Republican predecessors have followed. And who could forget the gem of it all, Trickle Down Economics? The Reagan Era took this crock of shit and made it the centerpiece of right wing economic ideology. The wealthy enjoy getting their taxes cut to less than nothing while wages stagnate, infrastructure crumbles, the quality of our schools flatlines, and inequality explodes across the nation. That’s ignoring all the palace intrigue, the collusion with terrorists to get elected, Iran-Contra, letting his wife run the game for the last couple of years while his addled mind began to fail, who herself was under the influence of an astrologer!
@@lamaripiazza5226 Absolutely, if you ask me republicans should be more like Rockefeller and democrats should be more like LBJ. If that was the case then America would be in heaven right now.
@Daniel Moreno he was a confirmed racist. Ask any historian. He was racist. Maybe ulterior motives. And if your coming at me with a grammar nazi statement on a youtube comments section, just stop. Anyway, here is a quote from President Johnson about the importance of the n- Bill as he so called it: "These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again." He was most definitely a racist, in the classic sense. As is Joe Biden's 'Unlike most black people, [Obama] is articulate." Democrats think very little of African Americans, and only care up to the point the African Americans support them.
@@charliegriffey7773 On one hand you are railing against the democrats calling em all racists, on the other hand you are using opinions of radical left wing "historians" as your evidence... You seem to be a confused individual.. Also "Negro" was not considered a racist word back then. Reconstruction was a clear failure, if Johnson was trying to prevent another Reconstruction Era from breaking out.. Wouldn't that be considered as a positive thing for African Americans? Anyways you are right about Biden, he only cares about Blacks to get their votes. He doesn't HATE them though because if he did he wouldn't have been Obama's VP for 8 years.

When I was 20 years old a Chicago Democrat precinct captain paid my family a visit. He wanted to make sure we were good Democrats. I listened to what he had to say and was turned off by his repeated racist and derogatory comments about black people that I cannot print here. I decided that if he was a normal Democrat then I was not a Democrat. And from that day forward I listened to both sides and voted for the candidate who had the best ideas. I haven't voted for a Democrat for any office since Bush 41 was in office. All that because I met a racist who made me think.
I'm a proud white southern male, married to a proud black southern female. The south is great because of our regionally unwavering devotion to Faith, Family & Freedom.

Because this is literal misinformation. The current republican party of today and the republican party of the past hold different values. Democrats of old disliked the establishment and wanted state rights. Republicans of old were the opposite. Now republicans dislike the establishment and want state rights and democrats are the opposite. Why? The parties swapped. Lyndon B Johnson's views (civil rights) put him at odd against the southern democrats, this and Reagan's term were the biggest pushers of this ideological swap. Search up Lee Atwater's quotes, he was Reagan's political consultant and George H.W. Bush's campaign manager. The evidence is so clear it is insane, its like trying to argue that the earth is flat and not round.
CLINTON JONES but that doesn’t mean the parties didn’t switch she actually said they did at the end but they didn’t switch in the 60’s they did in the 90’s.
Think about this. What they said was objectively true, but there were several lies of omission. For example, the one Democrat who switched to the Republican was Strom Thurmond. The person that Nixon lost the South to was also Strom Thurmond. Now, who is Strom Thurmond? Well, he’s a very pro-segregation candidate who’s most well known for his speech where he said “Segregation now, Segregation tommorow, Segregation forever”. He was very much a single-issue candidate.
@Marc - It was indeed George Wallace who said that. George Wallace was also literally the man republicans began utilizing the Southern strategy to compete with. Contrary to what you're implying, the fact that he was a democrat means jack, since, as we learn from the video, the parties switched.

You can't even argue it.* But anyway, over tons of opposition: - Fighting against police brutality (Republicans did NOT like that) - Equal housing rules _(now reversed by Trump)_ - The Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare, 20 million insured, soon to be reversed in court by Republicans) - Reducing the role of private for-profit prisons - Pardoned over 1200 people in prison for minor drug crimes _(vs the high profile bigot Trump pardoned for racial profiling in Arizona)_ - Forcing the closures of for-profit colleges that defrauded people of color _(reversed by Trump)_ I could go on and on and ON....

It's surprising how many right-wingers there are that still don't know or deny the fact that the parties basically switched. There was a complete political realignment during the 1960s. Back in the day, white racist southerners overwhelmingly voted Democrat instead Republican. White racist southerners were outraged by the Civil Rights movement however and left the democrat party to join the Republican party. The seeds of the political realignment really started to get planted after WW2 when the democrats desegregated the army and included civil rights in the 1948 democratic platform. Shit like this enraged white southern democrats so much they defected to form the dixiecrats or states rights democrats. This shows how irrational and uncompromising racist people are since the democratic support for civil rights back then was tepid at best. Republican leaders noticed the dissatisfaction and saw it as a golden oppurtunity to increase political support among white voters in the South so they consciously tried to appeal to them with candidates like Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon was more effective in reaching voters because he appealed to racial fears without directly talking about race by using dog whistles like "the Silent Majority" or "Law and Order". Lee Atwater even admitted that the "Law&Order" is a dog whistle for anti minority sentiments. This electoral strategy was what became known as the Southern Strategy. Republicans still use coded racism in their rhetoric to this very day. Trump's "America First" is another example, but Trump is mainly just recycling Nixon's dog whistles. I should probably clarify wtf a dog whistle is for those who are unfamiliar. A dog whistle is a political term for words and phrases that are harmless sounding enough to the point where most non suspecting people think nothing of it while others who can read between the lines know that said phrases are low-key racist statement. Some modern examples of dog whistles that have gotten popular in the past five years are phrases like "All Lives Matter" and "It's okay to be white". Ok That second one isn't too subtle actually. While it's true the democrats in the south fought for slavery and founded the kkk, their racist great grandchildren vote for Republicans today. A modern kkk member would never vote for a democrat now. Saying shit like Republicans freed the slaves or Jefferson Davis was a Democrat doesn't prove a point. It just shows that you're ignorant of history and that you think the political dynamics of today are exactly the same as the ones 150 years ago. Although Abraham Lincoln did say racist shit in the 1960 presidential debates he was still the more liberal candidate back then. Some of the shit Lincoln said is actually surprising left leaning and sounded a lot like something Marx would say. Just look at this Lincoln quote bro. "As most good things are produced by labor, it follows that all such things ought to belong to those whose labor has produced them. But it has happened in all ages of the world that some have labored, and others, without labor, have enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To secure to each laborer the whole product of his labor as nearly as possible is a worthy object of any good government," The first Republican president was a socialist and modern conservatives don't even know it lmao. Lincoln was even pen pals with Karl Marx. I'm not joking, you can look all this up if you don't believe me. Being against slavery is clearly the left wing position to have by the way. A lot of you might be more left leaning than you realize. No one should be able to profit off of human misery in that grotesque a manner. The Union army during the civil war was even led by an actual communist general. His name was August Willich! Willich plotted to kill Karl Marx for being too conservative. Willich publicly insulted Marx and challenged him to a duel, which Marx refused to fight. It's interesting to note that most confederate soldiers didn't even own slaves, the wealthy plantation owners did. Poor Southerners didn't benefit from slavery, but they hated black people so much that they fought and died for the right of rich people to own slaves, just so they can keep black people miserable. Bootlickers back then, bootlickers now. It's very much intentional that stuff about. Lincoln isn't common knowledge since the capitalist class shaped the education system and media. They clearly don't want to spread leftist messaging or acknowledge how a lot of revered historical figures were actually socialists or social democrats. Some of these figures include MLK, Nelson Mandela, Albert Einstein, Helen Keller, Pablo Picasso, and George Orwell. This is why it is very important for everyone to do their own research and not take the word of people who benefit from the working class staying willfully ignorant. Don't believe everything PragerU tells you, they're funded by oil billionaires. Which is why they have videos advocating for the fossel fuel industry.
Marcus W why do you think the KKK covered their faces ? Because they were democrat officials pretending to be republicans, which helped fuel the false narrative
@Dex4Sure Democrats talk about race all the time because it's what minorities care about. What would Republicans know about that, given that the party is 90% white? NOTHING. Republicans don't talk about race because they have no reason to. White people don't like to talk about race. To them, talking about that issue is just an "unnecessary annoyance." It’s a “special interest.” Those "measly" racial issues.

The KKK still has democrat supporters. LBJ hated black people and he killed JFK. Jimmy Carter won every state in the south in 1976 which makes the southern strategy a myth.
Well according to the book, “ The End of Southern Exceptionalism” (Shafer and Johnston). The south became more republican as it became less segregated and racist.
Harlan Rifkind the media that is owned by liberals tells us black folk that we never voted republican. They want to control our vote so they call republicans racist.
@@harlanrifkind6925 that implies -- no, requires -- the presumption that only blacks can be non-racist, which is a pretty racist thing to say. the facts are that there were several migrations around the mid-20th century. the "Great Migration" actually resulted in a lot of blacks moving to Northern cities to escape Democratic Party segregationist policies in the South when they controlled it. A lot of Southern whites also migrated North during the Great Depression, seeking better economic conditions than existed in the South. Later, the New South brought rapid industrialization, which attracted many Northerners moving South to seek out the new manufacturing jobs in "right to work" environments, and the new spread of the use of A/C took the down-side out of Southern living. All of this migration is well-known to historians, and the affects of them are evident in census data at 10 year intervals. ultimately, the population of the South expanded so rapidly during the latter half of the 20th century that states often saw 2X and 3X growth in a very short time. this growth rate was far too rapid to be based on simple procreation. again, the demographics are well-established and (again) verifiable by using Census data. in fact, the overall effect is so obvious to "old time" Southerners that most Southern states share a common joke that when you run across someone actually claiming to be "native" to the county you are in, they say, "oh, YOU'RE the one!" -- the point being that natives are actually the minority in very many areas of the region. so, whatever one's OPINION might be on the subject of who the racists are or aren't, it is counter-factual to argue that the demographics of the South today are in any way similar to the demographics of the South in the bad old days of "Solid South" Democratic Party segregation. so, trying to say that because the South was widely racist when it was under Democratic Party rule (fact #1), and the Republicans are now majority in many of these states (fact #2), that the obvious conclusion is that the Democrats and Republicans "switched sides" with respect to racism. that's like saying that because the family that lived in your house before you was superstitious and your family is not superstitious, that YOU "switched sides" -- no; your house is simply populated by DIFFERENT PEOPLE now. one small demonstration of this difference is that in the "Solid South" days, the South was a region of virtually one-party states. many members of congress, the senate, state legislators, governors, mayors, police commissioners, sheriffs, etc. were elected with LITERALLY 100% of the vote -- that is, the winner of the Democratic Primary was elected in the General Election unopposed because of the utter lack of a Republican Party organization in the area (those pesky Democrats had spent decades lynching black AND white Republicans, dynamiting or burning down their homes or businesses, beating them, and other quaint forms of intimidation, the result of which was that blacks stopped voting under threat and Republican candidates stopped running since the "yellow dog" Democrats wouldn't vote for them so the Party ended up with no organization left there). today, in stark contrast, the Southern vote is only marginally Republican -- that is, most elections are roughly split, with only a minority of districts "true-blue" or "blood-red". South Carolina is pretty much the only Southern state where black voters could account for this roughly even split in the electorate: mostly it is just the case that the population is far more mixed in every way: urban and rural, conservative and liberal, Democratic and Republican. anyone who tries to draw conclusions about the present population by trying to map it back to a completely different population that lived in the South in the 1920s, or 1950s, or even 1980s is engaging in a fairly insipid game.
@@JustAworm82 take Census bureau data and correlate it with polling data on racial attitudes, data on actual racial incidents, and data on the complete lack of government power imposing racial distinctions -- it will be so clear that i'm sure you will grasp it if you are capable of facing facts. now, you can continue to believe that whatever racists are left in the population account for all the Republicans to be found, but you cannot seriously argue that (a) the Southern population today is made up of the same people that it was in 1964, or (b) that the South became less racist since 1964, or (c) that the South became more Republican in the 1980s and 1990s (although the South began to vote Republican for PRESIDENT earlier, it continued to vote overwhelmingly Democratic for the US House/Senate, Governors, state legislators, mayors, police commissioners, etc. for decades after 1964 -- often winning the latter offices with 100% of the vote).
I have to say one thing about the democrats. When they embrace socialism and communism I'll just vote for the other party namely the republican party all the way. Big government and big taxes which the democrats run on is a very terrible idea.
@jfsfrndYes. two parties want big government and big taxes but one party wants bigger government and bigger taxes. You have to know who that party supports huge taxes. If you are satisfied that 50% of your income goes to the government than by all means support socialist democrats. O by the way how is Venezuela doing today?
@jfsfrnd its obvious you support big government and huge tax increase. if you think huge tax increase will benefit the government to also benefit the American people than you are definitely live in a bubble. Hey keep that socialist dream alive.
@jfsfrnd The 1% WILL NEVER PAY there fair share. That is why rich people park there money oversea so the government will never get there hands on it. If the rich do pay for there fair share than the US government wouldn't have this massive debt. So the socialist democrats today preaching that they will go after the 1% on tax increase which will never happen. Than the middle class people will be on the hook for tax increase. Socialism will never work and the party who support socialism DEMOCRATS will never get my support EVER. Supporting socialism means you as an individual give up your freedom so the big government can control. If you like socialism so much, more power to you. But don't blame the rich for not paying there fair share because they could care less what you think. They also love there money as much as anyone else.
lol. in 2009, in the middle of a recession, the deficit was $1.4 Trillion. by 2015, Obama got it down to $439 Billion. it then started going back up (still under Obama) to $587 Billion in 2016 before Trump took office. Trump has now raised the deficit $896 Billion, with a forecast of breaking the trillion dollar mark by 2020. Republicans only care about deficit spending when a democrat is in office. The "small government conservative" is a joke. We have a DoD expenditure equaling the next 20 countries combined. The PATRIOT Act is the single greatest infringement on our rights in the past 100 years, and it was passed under a republican president (GWB) with unwavering support. The only time they want "less government" is when it comes to deregulating business. Other than that, republicans LOVE big government. Big government to tell you what drugs you can put in your own body, who you can marry/have in your own bedroom, what you can do with your own body, etc.
As a moderate voter (but always voted left) I didn’t know this history. The current state of this administration is pushing me explore voting republican. Idk if I’m just getting older but I see the need for stronger values in our society.
this "history" lesson is garbage, distorts and omits much. The GOP has become the far right authoritarian party. Don't let Democrat suckage drag you down into their cesspool!
Keep searching for truths. Never stop researching things, even if you think you have a grasp on it. And just always be open-minded no matter how bizzare. We are meant to keep learning and loving. But that has gotten lost.
It is scary. This video is proof that the re-writing of history by rich and powerful people is happening before our eyes. I mean, there are historical facts being completely erased, such as the historical fact of the Southern Strategy being erased by wealthy Republicans spreading disinformation on a platform like RUclips that has no editorial oversight and allows this kind of deception. I'm glad that you have spotted it though. Too many people seem to be falling for this Prager U propaganda.
This video is in fact a prime example of that. It's a combination of lies and half-truths, attempting to sell a version of history that has very little in common with reality.
I would also like to congratulate the OP for spotting how this video is a classic case of rewriting history to suit a media (PragerU) narrative. Why all you have to do is listen to Reagan's campaign consultant from 1981 and you know that the southern strategy was a very real thing ruclips.net/video/X_8E3ENrKrQ/видео.html
It's like a Professor asking his class, "How do you think History will remember Trump"? A stupid question, yes? Of course with hatred and disgust, because it's the Leftists that write the History book s -
Im a white conservative and was raised in Detroit. We never looked at each others skin like that. I remember hanging out with blacks and whites like it was all good. We all got older and seen the transition of race being used as a tool. It actually became a thing when Obama took office. My black friends that im still good buddies with even said he divided the nation racially. All of a sudden the millennials started looking at each others skin . Its got weird and race tensions got way out of hand .
In order to understand why Democrats and Republicans are very different TODAY IN 2024, you must know the difference between PARTY and IDEOLOGY. Anti-black racists have always been RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS, regardless of party affiliation. That's why TODAY IN 2024, anti-black racists are overwhelmingly loyal Republicans and not Democrats.
I was just called a Nazi for questioning the issue of immigrants adapting to American culture. I’m an Orthodox Jew. They’ve lost the understanding of that word.
@@smylyface Well I wouldn't refer to it as "playing" identity politics which insinuates it's a game. There are many people that feel identity politics is such a bad notion, but these are usually the people who have been blessed enough to not find benefit in such politics because they already have that privilege. For example, there was no need for whites to bring political attention to unfair bus riding practices of the 1950's because they already had the privilege of preferred seating. Rosa Parks on the other hand had no choice but to rely on racial identity politics. But getting back to the point. Cultural identity politics runs rampant on the right though they prefer to designate it to the left only. The party of religion (evangelical vote) is essentially claimed by the right. The "2nd amendment gun lovers", essentially claimed by the right. The "pro-capitalism sector", essentially claimed by the right. Constitutional (certain parts that is) enthusiasts, pro-veteran enthusiasts, all identity politics...characteristics claimed by the right themselves as champions for each of these causes. Just this year the Public Religion Research Institution concluded that Republicans are the main purveyors of identity politics. Just because they avoid terming it "identity politics" doesn't mean it isn't so.
@@KennuhWayne You have been severely brainwashed if you think for one second that the right uses identity politics more than the left. Statistics from those types of studies have been proven to be fabricated in many cases. Most of the information distributed by the mainstream media is pure propaganda. China has partnered with the major tech companies in silicon valley to implement the social credit system currently in use in mainland China. The media is focusing on Russia when it's communist China that has infiltrated our government and educational systems. Just hop on Netflix and see how many movies are in Chinese now. That's not a coincidence. There are people actively trying to push socialist and communist ideologies onto young Americans, lying to them about everything being fair and free. That is a lie. You are too young to remember the atrocities that occurred when the USSR was still in power. I taught history for over 15 years and the textbooks changed significantly during that time. Every few years they gave us new books and more and more information was being left out of them. It became obvious after a while that they were pushing socialist propaganda under the guise of multiculturalism. Here's where the identity politics comes in play. They no longer want students to think critically and make decisions based on research and facts. They just want students to know the "correct" answers for their government issued standardized tests. The goal is to make us dependent on government so they can control us. They will separate us into categories based on certain criteria so when the government gains total power, like they have in places like China and North Korea, they can weed people out according to their social credit scores and certain identity categories they deem undesirable. It is truly frightening how so many young people are being brainwashed into believing that capitalism is somehow bad. Capitalism allows workers to keep the money they earn and control their own lives. Socialism slowly starts taking all of your choices away until the government controls everything. They use identity politics to convince us that we need them to intervene on our behalf by censoring unpopular ideas, banning opinions that some find offensive and restricting people from internet access.
WRONG. The republican party and the democratic party contained both conservatives and liberals prior to the 1960's. The Republican party was mainly centered around big business and enterprise, industry (especially the industrialized north). The Democratic party was mainly centered around labor (and southern agrarianism) and eventually progressivism after the great depression nearly destroyed the country. Both Democrats and republicans voted to pass civil rights legislation in congress, this is true. But guess what? Those were both liberal democrats in the north and liberal republicans in the north who voted for it. All of the conservative democrats in the south and conservative republicans in the country voted AGAINST IT. It doesn't make sense to frame this conversation around "democrat and republican". Simply think of it in terms of "conservative and liberal" and you get your answer. The south was dominated by southern conservative democrats. It's no wonder every single southern state flipped to the republican party under the "State's rights" Barry Goldwater ticket... then when Nixon employed the southern strategy with "states' rights and law and order" this repelled black people to the NEW progressive democratic party (which once also had southern conservative racist democrats, but they left after Goldwater). Please explain how I'm wrong?

I'm from Texas. We were electing Democrats to statewide office until the mid-1990s. Our state legislature was dominated by Democrats until 2004. The story is basically the same for every southern state. If all those voters joined the GOP in 1965, voting Democrat for the next thirty years is an awfully strange way of showing it.
@@TheActualFuckingSun Better than saying "All those racist white southern Democrats moved to the GOP after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed." _That's_ the oversimplification that needs to be fought. The Democrats began their march to the left in 1968 and over the next thirty years, slowly shed conservatives until they reached a tipping point when the south started to regularly vote Republican.

I am from a multi-generational Southern Democrat family. I had an 11th and 12th grade American History teacher who just happened to be Black American. He opened my eyes to what the Democrats are and have been for more than a hundred years. I’m 65 now and still feel as strongly about the Conservatives as I did when I was 18. I am not ashamed of my Southern background. My family has been dirt poor for over 130 years. My Mom and Dad where the first ones to go to college even with their education they remained Democrat. My mother did in fact switch when she was in her 40's my dad never did. I am a conservative-libertarian. I do support President Trump.

There were a lot of people who said civil rights or nazi germany wasn't on their radar at all either. So if you think for a second genderism, and the trans ideology, the further sexual depravity of society and children via the "LGBTQ+" AKA the PRIDE tribe isn't as monumentally important as the abolition of slavery and pro life abolition of abortion: I have to say, "the devil is a liar!" You just don't know the monumental importance. It's in part because we haven't been competent enough to express and depict it for what it is. It's genderism, sexism, extreme identity bigotry, sex subversion, sexual & identity perversion, sexist social injustice & subjugation, social illness or disorder and social conformity & programing amongst other ways to describe this social politicult terrorism.

1960's and before, Democrats died as democrats. The younger generation grew up non racist and became Republicans. As racism went down in the south the Republican Party grew.
"The younger generation grew up non racist" It doesn't work like that buddy. I'm not saying people are actively going out of their way to be racist but the roots are still there. It's the same with religion. Yeah, maybe in some families racism/prejudice has been completely swept away but we're talking about ~4-5 generations since the Civil War. It just isn't enough to get away from that stigma. Also... "Prager University is not an accredited academic institution and does not offer certifications or diplomas."
In Alabama racism still exists but not systemic racism. Systemic racism is down by 99%. I love AL and all the people. But I was told if you are white and you are in a black neighborhood then turn around and find that neutral ground. Never did "feel" any racisim while there because everyone is so dang nice. But my buddy that grew up in AL. says racism is still present.
Are we seriously discussing is racism still exist? Even the most liberal areas have racist-you gonna tell me you've never heard someone say the Nword about a black person? Really?!
Ro Jay. You are missing the point between racism and systemic racism. You will never stop racism on either side. Calling someone the N-word doesn't necessarily mean that the person is racist. It could just be someone pissed off and trying to be hurtful.
Actually I do know the difference-you just thought I was talking to you and you were talking about systemic racism...But hey if you want me to address systemic racism fine I can do that too- You say its down by 99% which is nonsense bc you don't even know where it is. The FBI conducted an investigation into the Ferguson PD and found a crapton of systemic racism we didn't know was there. If you're talking about the overt like segregation then that's different...
This makes me want to go to Vanderbilt. It would be an honor to have this woman as a political science professor. It must be exceptionally tough being a conservative in academia but even more so in that particular study.

I learned about this many years ago when I was researching Dred Scott and the reasons for start of the civil war. One giant rabbit hole later and I had undone years of taught propaganda. Love this video, I hope everyone sees it.
They were southerners first democrats second. If you lool at election maps, sometimes they voted Whig party, one year in 1872 bunch if states in the south voted for Republicans, then voted for democrats other years. So if the party keeps changing but the southern honor culture stays the same. I'm gonna a guess those guys in the kkk didn't check your voter registration card before letting you sign up. No one cared if you voted for a republican state senator last year when you came to a lynching. It's a southern culture problem.
I'm glad you have undone years of propaganda. Really what is taught is supposed to be the theory of the southern strategy, but they never articulated that point well in school, leaving many to believe the southern strategy as fact, and believe all conservatives and Republicans are racist.

The parties did switch. The existence of Dixie-crats and Strom Thurmond, a racist and segregationist, contradicts this whole narrative. Dixie-crats were southern white democratic 'states rights' segregationists who left the party after 1964. The truth is political parties are always switching, whether it be their name (anti-federalist to true Whig to Republican) or policies. Republicans used to be in favor of big business and anti- government intervention, now they want to use the Supreme Court to control people's behavior and are against big tech 'woke' corporations
None of this holds a candle to what the Democrats have done. Sadly you are correct that many Republicans have become warhawks. I think it's only fair to concede that the Democratic selectees seem to be heading this direction as well
This is a ridiculous slander of the Republican party. Just because some old racists were pushed out of the Dem party doesn't mean they became Republican and it certainly doesn't mean that the Republicans abandoned a century of principle to pander to the displaced people they opposed for so long and actually fought a war against. Just because some views fall in and out of favor in a party doesn't mean the parties "switch". What is conveniently left out of this video and most accurate historical accounts is that it took the Dems 100 years to push the vile racism out of the elite of their party, that is the kernel of the change of the civil rights era. The Dems changed, to be sure, as they continue to do. So do the Republicans. Circumstances change and if you don't adapt you are doomed to fail. Further, the Republican party was not just an extension of the Whig party, it was a brand new party started up in opposition to the Whigs and Democrats. That some Whigs joined it does not negate the previously mentioned fact. You are clearly not a Republican and have a distorted view of the party history, I don't understand why you think you can define the party in such general terms using such a dearth of information.

This led many of these old Democrats to form their own party known as the Dixiecrats, the party of the old racist Southern Democrats.

@@Dante-mw2ez really sad actually how you push the welfare queen narrative when in actuality black voters thought process is more complex than Just “free stuff”. Speaks to how you actually think about black people. Per the article, “The 1932 presidential contest between incumbent Republican President Herbert Hoover and Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt was something of a turning point. During his first term, Hoover had tried to ingratiate himself with southern segregationists, and his administration had failed to implement economic policies to help African Americans laid low by the Great Depression. Still, Hoover received between two-thirds and three-quarters of the black vote in northern urban wards.27 Most black voters sided with Republicans less out of loyalty than because they were loath to support a candidate whose Democratic Party had zealously suppressed their political rights in the South. African Americans mistrusted FDR because of his party affiliation, his evasiveness about race in the campaign, and his choice of a running mate, House Speaker John Nance Garner of Texas.28”

Sorry to burst your bubble bro but she only used facts to support her idea and left out crucial information. People should never let their party biases into their teaching.
There is an impulse to trace political evolution backward from now rather than to start at the beginning. That’s where you get notions like Conservatism being innately about small government and Liberalism a big one. The associations were actually reversed at the Founding. The Hamiltonian Federalists stood for a kind of Classical Conservatism which saw a strong national government as essential to preserving order. The Jeffersonian Republicans espoused a hardline Classical Liberalism which perceived it to be an oppressive tool of the elite. As the American Revolution was informed by liberal teachings, they influenced both parties. A consensus was reached on recognizing natural rights, constraining government power, abandoning hereditary titles of nobility as well as the separation of church and state. The Jeffersonians championed the liberal ideals of laissez-faire, free trade, open immigration and extending political suffrage to the common man. The Hamiltonians, however, maintained conservative attitudes on central banking, protectionism, restricting immigration and property requirements for the vote. A nationalist versus internationalist dynamic emerged and shaped a lot of their disagreements. Perhaps the greatest came about when looming conflict surrounding England and France aggravated tensions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the federal over state position was used for conservative purposes when Federalists passed the Alien and Sedition Acts. Efforts to thwart radicalism that involved putting foreigners under scrutiny. And the anti-federalist stance, albeit complicated by later disputes, was applied for liberal ends when Republicans retaliated with the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions. Decrying them as violations of civil liberties, they asserted that the states could declare federal laws that they deemed unconstitutional void. A big deal in an age of centralized empires. Though the sectional question of slavery shook up the political landscape in a number of ways, those concepts carried on in the end as the guiding orthodoxies for the modern Republican and Democratic leaderships. But the distinction has been obscured in memory. Take two favorites of limited government types who came out of the competing intellectual traditions. The Republican Calvin Coolidge from Hamiltonianism and Democrat Grover Cleveland from Jeffersonianism. Cleveland vetoed an immigration bill with barriers that included a literacy test in 1897 while Coolidge signed into law such a proposal in 1924. Cleveland ran on reducing tariffs while Coolidge kept tariff rates high. Cleveland opposed central banking while Coolidge let the Federal Reserve be. Cleveland set in motion the landmark antitrust lawsuit known as the Sugar Trust Case while Coolidge ended a long run of administrations that launched many of them. Cleveland put into place the Interstate Commerce Commission to protect consumers by overseeing trade while Coolidge appointed to it and the subsequent Federal Trade Commission hands-off commissioners to facilitate economic growth. It is their shared commitment to individualism, low taxes, sound money, balanced budgets and fiscal restraint that gets them the overlapping fans. Increasing demand for government intervention ignited during the Progressive Era blurred the line between the old-fashioned conservatives and liberals weary of it. Their ideas, regardless of the historical rivalry, now tend to get lumped together in the conservative category and pit against Progressivism. Usually under the name Liberalism and also treated as one thing, despite the initial division there as well. The Republican Theodore Roosevelt and Democrat Woodrow Wilson were the first progressive presidents from their parties. Though each described himself with the pair of labels, it was their successors who coined the terms Progressive Conservatism and Progressive Liberalism for their ideologies. Both differed from their classical counterparts with regard to the scope of government, but there were parallels in how they contrasted each other. Comparing Roosevelt and Wilson helps to differentiate between them. Roosevelt akin to Coolidge signed into law measures to curb immigration which featured a literacy test in 1903 while Wilson like Cleveland before him vetoed legislation of that sort in 1917. As expressed in his 1902 State of the Union Address, Roosevelt advocated protectionism. On the other hand, Wilson pursued free trade. A goal propounded in his Fourteen Points. Both believed in regulating business. But while dubbed the Trustbuster, Roosevelt was not hostile to monopolies on principle and approved of what he called good trusts like U.S. Steel. Wilson pushed for the Clayton Antitrust Act in a bid to level the playing field by breaking them all up. The argument between nationalism and internationalism gained a new dimension with their foreign policy opinions. TR affirmed the superiority of Anglo-Saxon societies and, as displayed by his Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, their duty to police the world. Conversely, Wilson claimed that no nation was fit to sit in judgement of another. His ultimate aim was global governance through the League of Nations. Progressive Conservatism much like Classical Liberalism is largely overlooked in these discussions, but observing it can illuminate trends that go back to the First Party System. Conditions brought about by the Second Industrial Revolution prompted the re-examination of accepted conservative and liberal precepts. Members of both parties became convinced that government action was needed to remedy the escalating unrest. Especially after the rise of the Populist Movement which took up for agrarian and industrial labor interests. Represented at first by the People’s Party until rallying around the Democrat William Jennings Bryan to fight the rich and aid the poor. Republicans such as Roosevelt concluded that reform was necessary to prevent America from tearing itself apart. The crucial difference was that Bryan’s party nominated him three times as their presidential candidate while Roosevelt’s made him vice president because it was thought to be a place he couldn’t rock the boat. Only taking the office by chance after William McKinley was assassinated and the bosses saw to it that the nomination went to the moderate William Howard Taft instead when he attempted to go for a third term. Admirers of Cleveland left to form the National Democratic Party when Bryan was nominated in 1896. Likewise, Roosevelt and his followers walked out to set up the original Progressive Party after Taft got the nomination in 1912. Each split benefitted the other major party and they quickly declined. Internal debates persisted, but precedents were set. Though Bryan never won, Wilson acted on several of his causes. And Franklin Roosevelt himself backed Wilson over Teddy in 1912. He built on his prototypical administrative state with the New Deal. An agenda of then unmatched government activism. In keeping with Warren G. Harding and Coolidge’s Post-Wilson Return to Normalcy, Republicans led by Robert Taft worked at rolling it back. A truce came with the election of Dwight Eisenhower. His philosophy of Dynamic Conservatism made peace with the New Deal zeitgeist, but he sought to rein in any excesses. The further turns within the Democratic and Republican parties are clear-cut. The New Left and New Right elevated by George McGovern and Ronald Reagan both challenged the popular assumptions of their day. Hammering away at social issues and government control. The Third Way and Compassionate Conservatism advanced by Bill Clinton and George W. Bush both moved toward the center. Reflecting upon the free market and social justice. Each establishment now faces a populist wave. Democratic Socialism and National Conservatism are embraced by those that Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have emboldened. Fed up with the ruling class, both aspire to shift the balance of power. Granted, each from early on contained camps that spanned the political spectrum. Of note are those epitomized by the Democrat John C. Calhoun and Republican Horace Greeley. Calhoun defended the status quo for Southern planters while Greeley promoted Utopian Socialism. The two served as key party figures up until they and other likeminded dissenters engaged in their first significant breakaways. Calhoun created the Nullifier Party after a bitter falling-out with Andrew Jackson due to him siding with the federal government in a mounting crisis with South Carolina over the Tariff of 1828. Greeley ran as the Liberal Republican Party nominee against Ulysses S. Grant in the election of 1872 in protest of scandals in his administration tied to big business. But not even allying with their partisan adversaries, the Nullifiers with the Whigs and the Liberal Republicans with the Democrats, was enough to defeat Jackson or Grant. The bulk of their supporters soon dispersed among them both. The cracks lingered between right-leaning Republican and left-leaning Democratic national parties and the left-wing Republicans and right-wing Democrats that they avoided agitating with considerable sway at the state level. The La Follette Wisconsin Republican and Talmadge Georgia Democratic machines were examples which came to blows with the Coolidge Campaign and FDR Administration. More infrastructure development coupled with gradual modernization led to the country coalescing economically and culturally. That resulted in Republicans and Democrats amassing vast majorities of conservatives and liberals. Broadly speaking, along small town and big city lines. Both have indeed changed with time, quarreled over details and housed clashing factions. But their values remain fundamentally rooted in Hamiltonian pro-business conservative nationalism and Jeffersonian anti-elitist liberal internationalism.
I am an immigrant from the middle east and god bless the south! I have never experienced any racist incident in kentucky and I lived here for 14 years people are laid back and wonderful. I used to support the democratic party and in 2018 I realized I can't identify with them and switched republican.
@Engine #42 It didn’t happen overnight, from 2014-2018 I have been listening to more conservative opinion and gradually started making sense to me. The democrats moving far left made the switch easier too
@@cdubb9349 Depends on what they ran on. Conservatives aren't all the same. Let's say they ran on the exact same thing. Then it would come down to their personality. Same personality? Then it would come down to who looked less sleazy. Looked the exact same except for their skin color? Then it would come down to who I thought would be more likely to prevent a democrat from winning. Which also has several branching factors that I don't won't to bother breaking down. Point is skin color isn't a factor for me. It is for some people and hopefully it'll eventually stop being a factor for people. Also cause I'm sure you're wondering at this point. I'm white as hell.

PS you still avoided my questions, typical libtard tactic.
With the dawn of air conditioning in homes, a great number of Americans moved from the North to the South in the 1970's and 1980's. This must be another reason why states in the south changed their political suffrage.
Republicans have ahead of the game since 1854. The first black presidential candidate was Fredrick Douglas, in 1848. He ran for president again as a Republican in 1888. Democrats didn’t have a black candidate until 1968.
Actually it is somewhat true. I’m from Mississippi, and our 1st congressional district didn’t flip Republican until 2010. And it’s not lean Republican district either. Our state senator and many house members switched over to the Republican Party not too long after Obama got elected. By 2010, Republicans took over the house here. And it wasn’t because we had all new members. It was because most of them switched parties, and those we’re conservative democrats.
@@underground9260 Yes but there are so many variables and moving parts.

I’m a white conservative from Florida, and so is my family. I was always raised on the basis of treating people the way I wanted to be treated. This is the golden rule of the Bible. Skin color means nothing to me, because it does not dictate a good or bad person. Actions do.
Martin Luther said, “judge me by the content of my character! Not by the color of my skin.” Can I get an amen!
I think a big problem with radical liberals is that they see nothing but race and make everything about it. If they wish to be so progressive the color of someone’s skin shouldn’t matter at all right ? If they want everyone to be looked at equally why do they always identify people by which group they are classified as. I think it’s very hypocritical imo.
Nutterbutterman ooo!He’s preachin! Amen! 🙌
That is so hypocritical. Jesus was basically a radical liberal whose message was, "Just ignore and forgive what everybody else does to you---I'll sort it all out when I come back." Nobody is actually satisfied, happy, or secure living like that, and if Jesus were real, he would certainly not be a conservative or aligned with a conservative party.
Emily Keeling yeah, I see what your saying. If that’s what you think, than I can’t change your mind but, a big message from the Bible was free will. And as far as I’m concerned that’s what we have. That’s why you have choices you face every day. I’ve watched left sided videos and right sided videos. Cause I’d like to hear both sides of the conversation. I tend to get more hard evidence from the right. So i tend to lean more right. I’m not saying that the right hasn’t been wrong before. But currently at this point in history there is a lot more “open” diversity on the right. What I mean by that, is that you’ll see a black Women and a gay man having a conversation about how they were treated by the left when they said, “we are conservative”. Instead of debating with them they were neglected and told they weren’t black or they are hating themselves. When In fact the left is becoming a hive mind of like thinking people who tend to play the victim card and if you think differently your part of the problem. I could care less if your left, just lie less and stop manipulating people into this one mind. As for god, it seems like you don’t like him. And it makes sense. I know I use too. It’s cool though how changing your mindset really makes life great. You get more done, more productive. You make better choices. When you play victim you’ll be a victim,

I am an immigrant and Texas was the first place I never ever been in a America, everyone was so welcoming and very kind even strangers in the streets. I got lost once and a white man offered to take me home. I felt so loved and all the people around me were so kind. Now I'm in the North, and everyone is kind of distant and not so welcoming. I have met a few nice people but the ones I see almost everyday are just not welcoming which shocked my whole view of humans and got into depression. I hope someday I'll go back to Texas again.
I lived in Texas for 13 years but was forced to move to California, and man I 100% feel you
I lived in Northern states most my life and I can say people here are exactly as you described. Went to Texas for 3 months and people are so laid back and friendly. It shocked me too, I was confused as why people were being so friendly. Usually in the north it means they want something from you but in the south they just want to help and are being nice for no reason.
Texas is the greatest country in the world and don’t forget that

Georgia here. My family supported Democrats until they started drifting too far left. Had nothing to do with race. We turned Republican with Reagan and for the most part stayed there.
Reagan was horrible though and Georgia was one of the most most affected state.
Reagan is very overrated like jfk. Under him crime was at a all time high, illegal weapons dealer, tripled the national debt like Obama, taxes the poor and cut taxes for the rich. His approval rating wasn’t even high when he was elected and the only reason he won the election in a land slide because half of the country didn’t even vote, he barely won the popular vote. He also started wars and takes to much credit for ending the Cold War when in reality the Soviet Union did it to itself.
He also expanded the drug war which affected a lot of black Americans a lot who live in Georgia.
More on Reagan: The damage he did to the welfare state was huge and the explicit demonization of the poor and oppressed in this country. It was Reagan who gave birth to the image of the Welfare Queen, a huge black woman and her countless, uncontrolled offspring riding their way to the food stamps office in style while she sells drugs on the side to keep herself rolling in dough.
Never mind that Reagan knowingly and maliciously allowed the AIDS crisis to rampage throughout the gay community for years and only acted when Ryan White got it from a blood transfusion. The first time the AIDS crisis was even mentioned by Reagan, he laughed about it. You know, in certain circles, allowing a pandemic to go unchecked because it’s eliminating an undesired minority is consider a form of genocide.
Never mind that stupid Reaganomics that was an unmitigated disaster that put us through multiple recessions and dangerously unbalanced the budget as he slashed taxes and ran military spending up to record levels, a tradition all of his Republican predecessors have followed.
And who could forget the gem of it all, Trickle Down Economics? The Reagan Era took this crock of shit and made it the centerpiece of right wing economic ideology. The wealthy enjoy getting their taxes cut to less than nothing while wages stagnate, infrastructure crumbles, the quality of our schools flatlines, and inequality explodes across the nation.

"These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.

When I was 20 years old a Chicago Democrat precinct captain paid my family a visit. He wanted to make sure we were good Democrats. I listened to what he had to say and was turned off by his repeated racist and derogatory comments about black people that I cannot print here. I decided that if he was a normal Democrat then I was not a Democrat. And from that day forward I listened to both sides and voted for the candidate who had the best ideas. I haven't voted for a Democrat for any office since Bush 41 was in office. All that because I met a racist who made me think.
I'm a proud white southern male, married to a proud black southern female. The south is great because of our regionally unwavering devotion to Faith, Family & Freedom.

Think about this. What they said was objectively true, but there were several lies of omission.
For example, the one Democrat who switched to the Republican was Strom Thurmond.
The person that Nixon lost the South to was also Strom Thurmond.
Now, who is Strom Thurmond? Well, he’s a very pro-segregation candidate who’s most well known for his speech where he said “Segregation now, Segregation tommorow, Segregation forever”. He was very much a single-issue candidate.

You can't even argue it.*

- Fighting against police brutality (Republicans did NOT like that)
- Equal housing rules _(now reversed by Trump)_
- The Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare, 20 million insured, soon to be reversed in court by Republicans)
- Reducing the role of private for-profit prisons
- Pardoned over 1200 people in prison for minor drug crimes _(vs the high profile bigot Trump pardoned for racial profiling in Arizona)_
- Forcing the closures of for-profit colleges that defrauded people of color _(reversed by Trump)_

It's surprising how many right-wingers there are that still don't know or deny the fact that the parties basically switched. There was a complete political realignment during the 1960s. Back in the day, white racist southerners overwhelmingly voted Democrat instead Republican. White racist southerners were outraged by the Civil Rights movement however and left the democrat party to join the Republican party. The seeds of the political realignment really started to get planted after WW2 when the democrats desegregated the army and included civil rights in the 1948 democratic platform. Shit like this enraged white southern democrats so much they defected to form the dixiecrats or states rights democrats. This shows how irrational and uncompromising racist people are since the democratic support for civil rights back then was tepid at best.
Republican leaders noticed the dissatisfaction and saw it as a golden oppurtunity to increase political support among white voters in the South so they consciously tried to appeal to them with candidates like Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon was more effective in reaching voters because he appealed to racial fears without directly talking about race by using dog whistles like "the Silent Majority" or "Law and Order". Lee Atwater even admitted that the "Law&Order" is a dog whistle for anti minority sentiments. This electoral strategy was what became known as the Southern Strategy. Republicans still use coded racism in their rhetoric to this very day. Trump's "America First" is another example, but Trump is mainly just recycling Nixon's dog whistles. I should probably clarify wtf a dog whistle is for those who are unfamiliar. A dog whistle is a political term for words and phrases that are harmless sounding enough to the point where most non suspecting people think nothing of it while others who can read between the lines know that said phrases are low-key racist statement. Some modern examples of dog whistles that have gotten popular in the past five years are phrases like "All Lives Matter" and "It's okay to be white". Ok That second one isn't too subtle actually.
While it's true the democrats in the south fought for slavery and founded the kkk, their racist great grandchildren vote for Republicans today. A modern kkk member would never vote for a democrat now. Saying shit like Republicans freed the slaves or Jefferson Davis was a Democrat doesn't prove a point. It just shows that you're ignorant of history and that you think the political dynamics of today are exactly the same as the ones 150 years ago. Although Abraham Lincoln did say racist shit in the 1960 presidential debates he was still the more liberal candidate back then. Some of the shit Lincoln said is actually surprising left leaning and sounded a lot like something Marx would say. Just look at this Lincoln quote bro.
"As most good things are produced by labor, it follows that all such things ought to belong to those whose labor has produced them. But it has happened in all ages of the world that some have labored, and others, without labor, have enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To secure to each laborer the whole product of his labor as nearly as possible is a worthy object of any good government,"
The first Republican president was a socialist and modern conservatives don't even know it lmao. Lincoln was even pen pals with Karl Marx. I'm not joking, you can look all this up if you don't believe me. Being against slavery is clearly the left wing position to have by the way. A lot of you might be more left leaning than you realize. No one should be able to profit off of human misery in that grotesque a manner. The Union army during the civil war was even led by an actual communist general. His name was August Willich! Willich plotted to kill Karl Marx for being too conservative. Willich publicly insulted Marx and challenged him to a duel, which Marx refused to fight. It's interesting to note that most confederate soldiers didn't even own slaves, the wealthy plantation owners did. Poor Southerners didn't benefit from slavery, but they hated black people so much that they fought and died for the right of rich people to own slaves, just so they can keep black people miserable. Bootlickers back then, bootlickers now.
It's very much intentional that stuff about. Lincoln isn't common knowledge since the capitalist class shaped the education system and media. They clearly don't want to spread leftist messaging or acknowledge how a lot of revered historical figures were actually socialists or social democrats. Some of these figures include MLK, Nelson Mandela, Albert Einstein, Helen Keller, Pablo Picasso, and George Orwell. This is why it is very important for everyone to do their own research and not take the word of people who benefit from the working class staying willfully ignorant. Don't believe everything PragerU tells you, they're funded by oil billionaires. Which is why they have videos advocating for the fossel fuel industry.

Well according to the book, “ The End of Southern Exceptionalism” (Shafer and Johnston). The south became more republican as it became less segregated and racist.
How in any way does history support tht? Think if tht were true then most republican voters in the south today would be black
Care to share any viable sources to support your hypothesis?
Harlan Rifkind the media that is owned by liberals tells us black folk that we never voted republican. They want to control our vote so they call republicans racist.
@@harlanrifkind6925 that implies -- no, requires -- the presumption that only blacks can be non-racist, which is a pretty racist thing to say. the facts are that there were several migrations around the mid-20th century. the "Great Migration" actually resulted in a lot of blacks moving to Northern cities to escape Democratic Party segregationist policies in the South when they controlled it. A lot of Southern whites also migrated North during the Great Depression, seeking better economic conditions than existed in the South. Later, the New South brought rapid industrialization, which attracted many Northerners moving South to seek out the new manufacturing jobs in "right to work" environments, and the new spread of the use of A/C took the down-side out of Southern living. All of this migration is well-known to historians, and the affects of them are evident in census data at 10 year intervals. ultimately, the population of the South expanded so rapidly during the latter half of the 20th century that states often saw 2X and 3X growth in a very short time. this growth rate was far too rapid to be based on simple procreation. again, the demographics are well-established and (again) verifiable by using Census data. in fact, the overall effect is so obvious to "old time" Southerners that most Southern states share a common joke that when you run across someone actually claiming to be "native" to the county you are in, they say, "oh, YOU'RE the one!" -- the point being that natives are actually the minority in very many areas of the region.
so, whatever one's OPINION might be on the subject of who the racists are or aren't, it is counter-factual to argue that the demographics of the South today are in any way similar to the demographics of the South in the bad old days of "Solid South" Democratic Party segregation. so, trying to say that because the South was widely racist when it was under Democratic Party rule (fact #1), and the Republicans are now majority in many of these states (fact #2), that the obvious conclusion is that the Democrats and Republicans "switched sides" with respect to racism. that's like saying that because the family that lived in your house before you was superstitious and your family is not superstitious, that YOU "switched sides" -- no; your house is simply populated by DIFFERENT PEOPLE now.
one small demonstration of this difference is that in the "Solid South" days, the South was a region of virtually one-party states. many members of congress, the senate, state legislators, governors, mayors, police commissioners, sheriffs, etc. were elected with LITERALLY 100% of the vote -- that is, the winner of the Democratic Primary was elected in the General Election unopposed because of the utter lack of a Republican Party organization in the area (those pesky Democrats had spent decades lynching black AND white Republicans, dynamiting or burning down their homes or businesses, beating them, and other quaint forms of intimidation, the result of which was that blacks stopped voting under threat and Republican candidates stopped running since the "yellow dog" Democrats wouldn't vote for them so the Party ended up with no organization left there). today, in stark contrast, the Southern vote is only marginally Republican -- that is, most elections are roughly split, with only a minority of districts "true-blue" or "blood-red". South Carolina is pretty much the only Southern state where black voters could account for this roughly even split in the electorate: mostly it is just the case that the population is far more mixed in every way: urban and rural, conservative and liberal, Democratic and Republican.
anyone who tries to draw conclusions about the present population by trying to map it back to a completely different population that lived in the South in the 1920s, or 1950s, or even 1980s is engaging in a fairly insipid game.
@@JustAworm82 take Census bureau data and correlate it with polling data on racial attitudes, data on actual racial incidents, and data on the complete lack of government power imposing racial distinctions -- it will be so clear that i'm sure you will grasp it if you are capable of facing facts. now, you can continue to believe that whatever racists are left in the population account for all the Republicans to be found, but you cannot seriously argue that (a) the Southern population today is made up of the same people that it was in 1964, or (b) that the South became less racist since 1964, or (c) that the South became more Republican in the 1980s and 1990s (although the South began to vote Republican for PRESIDENT earlier, it continued to vote overwhelmingly Democratic for the US House/Senate, Governors, state legislators, mayors, police commissioners, etc. for decades after 1964 -- often winning the latter offices with 100% of the vote).
I have to say one thing about the democrats. When they embrace socialism and communism I'll just vote for the other party namely the republican party all the way. Big government and big taxes which the democrats run on is a very terrible idea.
@jfsfrndYes. two parties want big government and big taxes but one party wants bigger government and bigger taxes. You have to know who that party supports huge taxes. If you are satisfied that 50% of your income goes to the government than by all means support socialist democrats. O by the way how is Venezuela doing today?
@Twin Mommywow you really know your stuff. I'm impress.
@jfsfrnd its obvious you support big government and huge tax increase. if you think huge tax increase will benefit the government to also benefit the American people than you are definitely live in a bubble. Hey keep that socialist dream alive.
@jfsfrnd The 1% WILL NEVER PAY there fair share. That is why rich people park there money oversea so the government will never get there hands on it. If the rich do pay for there fair share than the US government wouldn't have this massive debt. So the socialist democrats today preaching that they will go after the 1% on tax increase which will never happen. Than the middle class people will be on the hook for tax increase. Socialism will never work and the party who support socialism DEMOCRATS will never get my support EVER. Supporting socialism means you as an individual give up your freedom so the big government can control. If you like socialism so much, more power to you. But don't blame the rich for not paying there fair share because they could care less what you think. They also love there money as much as anyone else.
lol. in 2009, in the middle of a recession, the deficit was $1.4 Trillion. by 2015, Obama got it down to $439 Billion. it then started going back up (still under Obama) to $587 Billion in 2016 before Trump took office. Trump has now raised the deficit $896 Billion, with a forecast of breaking the trillion dollar mark by 2020.
Republicans only care about deficit spending when a democrat is in office. The "small government conservative" is a joke. We have a DoD expenditure equaling the next 20 countries combined. The PATRIOT Act is the single greatest infringement on our rights in the past 100 years, and it was passed under a republican president (GWB) with unwavering support. The only time they want "less government" is when it comes to deregulating business. Other than that, republicans LOVE big government. Big government to tell you what drugs you can put in your own body, who you can marry/have in your own bedroom, what you can do with your own body, etc.
As a moderate voter (but always voted left) I didn’t know this history. The current state of this administration is pushing me explore voting republican. Idk if I’m just getting older but I see the need for stronger values in our society.
And you believe the government can legislate values? I DON'T believe that.

I'm glad that you have spotted it though. Too many people seem to be falling for this Prager U propaganda.

Thank you! I'm so sick of identity politics. The left has cried isms and phobias so often the words no longer have merit.
I was just called a Nazi for questioning the issue of immigrants adapting to American culture. I’m an Orthodox Jew. They’ve lost the understanding of that word.
The left huh? More like the left and right.
@@KennuhWayne I don't see many people on the right playing identity politics. That's more of a leftist strategy.
@@smylyface Well I wouldn't refer to it as "playing" identity politics which insinuates it's a game. There are many people that feel identity politics is such a bad notion, but these are usually the people who have been blessed enough to not find benefit in such politics because they already have that privilege. For example, there was no need for whites to bring political attention to unfair bus riding practices of the 1950's because they already had the privilege of preferred seating. Rosa Parks on the other hand had no choice but to rely on racial identity politics. But getting back to the point. Cultural identity politics runs rampant on the right though they prefer to designate it to the left only. The party of religion (evangelical vote) is essentially claimed by the right. The "2nd amendment gun lovers", essentially claimed by the right. The "pro-capitalism sector", essentially claimed by the right. Constitutional (certain parts that is) enthusiasts, pro-veteran enthusiasts, all identity politics...characteristics claimed by the right themselves as champions for each of these causes. Just this year the Public Religion Research Institution concluded that Republicans are the main purveyors of identity politics. Just because they avoid terming it "identity politics" doesn't mean it isn't so.
@@KennuhWayne You have been severely brainwashed if you think for one second that the right uses identity politics more than the left. Statistics from those types of studies have been proven to be fabricated in many cases. Most of the information distributed by the mainstream media is pure propaganda. China has partnered with the major tech companies in silicon valley to implement the social credit system currently in use in mainland China. The media is focusing on Russia when it's communist China that has infiltrated our government and educational systems. Just hop on Netflix and see how many movies are in Chinese now. That's not a coincidence. There are people actively trying to push socialist and communist ideologies onto young Americans, lying to them about everything being fair and free. That is a lie. You are too young to remember the atrocities that occurred when the USSR was still in power. I taught history for over 15 years and the textbooks changed significantly during that time. Every few years they gave us new books and more and more information was being left out of them. It became obvious after a while that they were pushing socialist propaganda under the guise of multiculturalism. Here's where the identity politics comes in play. They no longer want students to think critically and make decisions based on research and facts. They just want students to know the "correct" answers for their government issued standardized tests. The goal is to make us dependent on government so they can control us. They will separate us into categories based on certain criteria so when the government gains total power, like they have in places like China and North Korea, they can weed people out according to their social credit scores and certain identity categories they deem undesirable. It is truly frightening how so many young people are being brainwashed into believing that capitalism is somehow bad. Capitalism allows workers to keep the money they earn and control their own lives. Socialism slowly starts taking all of your choices away until the government controls everything. They use identity politics to convince us that we need them to intervene on our behalf by censoring unpopular ideas, banning opinions that some find offensive and restricting people from internet access.
I’ve tried explaining this to leftists but they block out anything they don’t want to hear.
Why do you think there are safe spaces? To block out anything they don't want to be heard.

WRONG. The republican party and the democratic party contained both conservatives and liberals prior to the 1960's. The Republican party was mainly centered around big business and enterprise, industry (especially the industrialized north). The Democratic party was mainly centered around labor (and southern agrarianism) and eventually progressivism after the great depression nearly destroyed the country. Both Democrats and republicans voted to pass civil rights legislation in congress, this is true. But guess what? Those were both liberal democrats in the north and liberal republicans in the north who voted for it. All of the conservative democrats in the south and conservative republicans in the country voted AGAINST IT.
It doesn't make sense to frame this conversation around "democrat and republican". Simply think of it in terms of "conservative and liberal" and you get your answer. The south was dominated by southern conservative democrats. It's no wonder every single southern state flipped to the republican party under the "State's rights" Barry Goldwater ticket... then when Nixon employed the southern strategy with "states' rights and law and order" this repelled black people to the NEW progressive democratic party (which once also had southern conservative racist democrats, but they left after Goldwater).
Please explain how I'm wrong?

The parties did switch. The existence of Dixie-crats and Strom Thurmond, a racist and segregationist, contradicts this whole narrative. Dixie-crats were southern white democratic 'states rights' segregationists who left the party after 1964. The truth is political parties are always switching, whether it be their name (anti-federalist to true Whig to Republican) or policies. Republicans used to be in favor of big business and anti- government intervention, now they want to use the Supreme Court to control people's behavior and are against big tech 'woke' corporations
None of this holds a candle to what the Democrats have done. Sadly you are correct that many Republicans have become warhawks.
I think it's only fair to concede that the Democratic selectees seem to be heading this direction as well
This is a ridiculous slander of the Republican party. Just because some old racists were pushed out of the Dem party doesn't mean they became Republican and it certainly doesn't mean that the Republicans abandoned a century of principle to pander to the displaced people they opposed for so long and actually fought a war against. Just because some views fall in and out of favor in a party doesn't mean the parties "switch". What is conveniently left out of this video and most accurate historical accounts is that it took the Dems 100 years to push the vile racism out of the elite of their party, that is the kernel of the change of the civil rights era. The Dems changed, to be sure, as they continue to do. So do the Republicans. Circumstances change and if you don't adapt you are doomed to fail. Further, the Republican party was not just an extension of the Whig party, it was a brand new party started up in opposition to the Whigs and Democrats. That some Whigs joined it does not negate the previously mentioned fact. You are clearly not a Republican and have a distorted view of the party history, I don't understand why you think you can define the party in such general terms using such a dearth of information.
They did not switch. I believe only two people switched sides during this" great flip". Never happened.

During his first term, Hoover had tried to ingratiate himself with southern segregationists, and his administration had failed to implement economic policies to help African Americans laid low by the Great Depression. Still, Hoover received between two-thirds and three-quarters of the black vote in northern urban wards.27 Most black voters sided with Republicans less out of loyalty than because they were loath to support a candidate whose Democratic Party had zealously suppressed their political rights in the South.

The Hamiltonian Federalists stood for a kind of Classical Conservatism which saw a strong national government as essential to preserving order. The Jeffersonian Republicans espoused a hardline Classical Liberalism which perceived it to be an oppressive tool of the elite. As the American Revolution was informed by liberal teachings, they influenced both parties. A consensus was reached on recognizing natural rights, constraining government power, abandoning hereditary titles of nobility as well as the separation of church and state.
The Jeffersonians championed the liberal ideals of laissez-faire, free trade, open immigration and extending political suffrage to the common man. The Hamiltonians, however, maintained conservative attitudes on central banking, protectionism, restricting immigration and property requirements for the vote. A nationalist versus internationalist dynamic emerged and shaped a lot of their disagreements. Perhaps the greatest came about when looming conflict surrounding England and France aggravated tensions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the federal over state position was used for conservative purposes when Federalists passed the Alien and Sedition Acts. Efforts to thwart radicalism that involved putting foreigners under scrutiny. And the anti-federalist stance, albeit complicated by later disputes, was applied for liberal ends when Republicans retaliated with the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions. Decrying them as violations of civil liberties, they asserted that the states could declare federal laws that they deemed unconstitutional void. A big deal in an age of centralized empires.
Though the sectional question of slavery shook up the political landscape in a number of ways, those concepts carried on in the end as the guiding orthodoxies for the modern Republican and Democratic leaderships. But the distinction has been obscured in memory. Take two favorites of limited government types who came out of the competing intellectual traditions. The Republican Calvin Coolidge from Hamiltonianism and Democrat Grover Cleveland from Jeffersonianism. Cleveland vetoed an immigration bill with barriers that included a literacy test in 1897 while Coolidge signed into law such a proposal in 1924. Cleveland ran on reducing tariffs while Coolidge kept tariff rates high. Cleveland opposed central banking while Coolidge let the Federal Reserve be. Cleveland set in motion the landmark antitrust lawsuit known as the Sugar Trust Case while Coolidge ended a long run of administrations that launched many of them.
Cleveland put into place the Interstate Commerce Commission to protect consumers by overseeing trade while Coolidge appointed to it and the subsequent Federal Trade Commission hands-off commissioners to facilitate economic growth. It is their shared commitment to individualism, low taxes, sound money, balanced budgets and fiscal restraint that gets them the overlapping fans. Increasing demand for government intervention ignited during the Progressive Era blurred the line between the old-fashioned conservatives and liberals weary of it. Their ideas, regardless of the historical rivalry, now tend to get lumped together in the conservative category and pit against Progressivism. Usually under the name Liberalism and also treated as one thing, despite the initial division there as well.
The Republican Theodore Roosevelt and Democrat Woodrow Wilson were the first progressive presidents from their parties. Though each described himself with the pair of labels, it was their successors who coined the terms Progressive Conservatism and Progressive Liberalism for their ideologies. Both differed from their classical counterparts with regard to the scope of government, but there were parallels in how they contrasted each other. Comparing Roosevelt and Wilson helps to differentiate between them. Roosevelt akin to Coolidge signed into law measures to curb immigration which featured a literacy test in 1903 while Wilson like Cleveland before him vetoed legislation of that sort in 1917. As expressed in his 1902 State of the Union Address, Roosevelt advocated protectionism. On the other hand, Wilson pursued free trade. A goal propounded in his Fourteen Points.
Both believed in regulating business. But while dubbed the Trustbuster, Roosevelt was not hostile to monopolies on principle and approved of what he called good trusts like U.S. Steel. Wilson pushed for the Clayton Antitrust Act in a bid to level the playing field by breaking them all up. The argument between nationalism and internationalism gained a new dimension with their foreign policy opinions. TR affirmed the superiority of Anglo-Saxon societies and, as displayed by his Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, their duty to police the world. Conversely, Wilson claimed that no nation was fit to sit in judgement of another. His ultimate aim was global governance through the League of Nations. Progressive Conservatism much like Classical Liberalism is largely overlooked in these discussions, but observing it can illuminate trends that go back to the First Party System.
Conditions brought about by the Second Industrial Revolution prompted the re-examination of accepted conservative and liberal precepts. Members of both parties became convinced that government action was needed to remedy the escalating unrest. Especially after the rise of the Populist Movement which took up for agrarian and industrial labor interests. Represented at first by the People’s Party until rallying around the Democrat William Jennings Bryan to fight the rich and aid the poor. Republicans such as Roosevelt concluded that reform was necessary to prevent America from tearing itself apart. The crucial difference was that Bryan’s party nominated him three times as their presidential candidate while Roosevelt’s made him vice president because it was thought to be a place he couldn’t rock the boat. Only taking the office by chance after William McKinley was assassinated and the bosses saw to it that the nomination went to the moderate William Howard Taft instead when he attempted to go for a third term.
Admirers of Cleveland left to form the National Democratic Party when Bryan was nominated in 1896. Likewise, Roosevelt and his followers walked out to set up the original Progressive Party after Taft got the nomination in 1912. Each split benefitted the other major party and they quickly declined. Internal debates persisted, but precedents were set. Though Bryan never won, Wilson acted on several of his causes. And Franklin Roosevelt himself backed Wilson over Teddy in 1912. He built on his prototypical administrative state with the New Deal. An agenda of then unmatched government activism. In keeping with Warren G. Harding and Coolidge’s Post-Wilson Return to Normalcy, Republicans led by Robert Taft worked at rolling it back. A truce came with the election of Dwight Eisenhower. His philosophy of Dynamic Conservatism made peace with the New Deal zeitgeist, but he sought to rein in any excesses.
The further turns within the Democratic and Republican parties are clear-cut. The New Left and New Right elevated by George McGovern and Ronald Reagan both challenged the popular assumptions of their day. Hammering away at social issues and government control. The Third Way and Compassionate Conservatism advanced by Bill Clinton and George W. Bush both moved toward the center. Reflecting upon the free market and social justice. Each establishment now faces a populist wave. Democratic Socialism and National Conservatism are embraced by those that Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have emboldened. Fed up with the ruling class, both aspire to shift the balance of power.
Granted, each from early on contained camps that spanned the political spectrum. Of note are those epitomized by the Democrat John C. Calhoun and Republican Horace Greeley. Calhoun defended the status quo for Southern planters while Greeley promoted Utopian Socialism. The two served as key party figures up until they and other likeminded dissenters engaged in their first significant breakaways. Calhoun created the Nullifier Party after a bitter falling-out with Andrew Jackson due to him siding with the federal government in a mounting crisis with South Carolina over the Tariff of 1828. Greeley ran as the Liberal Republican Party nominee against Ulysses S. Grant in the election of 1872 in protest of scandals in his administration tied to big business. But not even allying with their partisan adversaries, the Nullifiers with the Whigs and the Liberal Republicans with the Democrats, was enough to defeat Jackson or Grant. The bulk of their supporters soon dispersed among them both.
The cracks lingered between right-leaning Republican and left-leaning Democratic national parties and the left-wing Republicans and right-wing Democrats that they avoided agitating with considerable sway at the state level. The La Follette Wisconsin Republican and Talmadge Georgia Democratic machines were examples which came to blows with the Coolidge Campaign and FDR Administration. More infrastructure development coupled with gradual modernization led to the country coalescing economically and culturally. That resulted in Republicans and Democrats amassing vast majorities of conservatives and liberals. Broadly speaking, along small town and big city lines. Both have indeed changed with time, quarreled over details and housed clashing factions. But their values remain fundamentally rooted in Hamiltonian pro-business conservative nationalism and Jeffersonian anti-elitist liberal internationalism.
I am an immigrant from the middle east and god bless the south! I have never experienced any racist incident in kentucky and I lived here for 14 years people are laid back and wonderful. I used to support the democratic party and in 2018 I realized I can't identify with them and switched republican.
@Don1103 traitor to who?🙄
@@BHTQ18 - Because the parties actually switched
@Engine #42 It didn’t happen overnight, from 2014-2018 I have been listening to more conservative opinion and gradually started making sense to me. The democrats moving far left made the switch easier too
This flee like cap you from the middle east and went to kentucky and you never incounter racism where you went
Can confirm as a native of Mississippi. I would vote for a black republican over a white democrat. 100% of the time.
Would you vote for a black conservative over a white conservative?
@@cdubb9349 Depends on what they ran on. Conservatives aren't all the same.
Let's say they ran on the exact same thing.
Then it would come down to their personality.
Same personality?
Then it would come down to who looked less sleazy.
Looked the exact same except for their skin color?
Then it would come down to who I thought would be more likely to prevent a democrat from winning.
Which also has several branching factors that I don't won't to bother breaking down.
Point is skin color isn't a factor for me. It is for some people and hopefully it'll eventually stop being a factor for people.
Also cause I'm sure you're wondering at this point. I'm white as hell.
@@cdubb9349 race bait much???????? I can bet you love Obama. The divider in chief.
I agree!!
If they were better qualified, absolutely!
Thank you professor for that clarification, I never believed there was a change of parties. Now I understand this democratic lie!
I recommend reading a reputable history book on American history. All of this stuff is covered and more.

Yuri Thruh conservatards just doesnt have the same ring to it as libtards 🤔 i appreciate the effort tho
@Yuri Thruh Do you have any actual argument or are you just going to throw a temper tantrum and lie like @abcdefg? You leftist have no argument and will ultimately always lose, my condolences.
@Yuri Thruh You know if you hate America so much just leave? Nobody is forcing you to stay :)
I don't know if you still live with your parents in your 30's or something but wow, if that's the case I can understand why you love democrats so much and hate self reliance.
@Yuri Thruh You gave me a meaningless article written by a single person. Do you put all your trust in one person? Honestly, maybe stop being a snowflake and do real research before you embarrass yourself man. I can't stand people like yourself, you can't win a simple argument with facts so you have to make yourself the laughingstock just to keep a conversation going. Grow up buddy. PS you still avoided my questions, typical libtard tactic.
Yes, the Southern Democrats used to be referred to as Dixiecrats.
With the dawn of air conditioning in homes, a great number of Americans moved from the North to the South in the 1970's and 1980's. This must be another reason why states in the south changed their political suffrage.
Amazing this was made 3 years ago and Tim Scott is mentioned in it. Considering the recent news it is nice to know that Prager U is ahead of the game.
Republicans have ahead of the game since 1854.
The first black presidential candidate was Fredrick Douglas, in 1848. He ran for president again as a Republican in 1888.
Democrats didn’t have a black candidate until 1968.
"Ahead of the game"? How so? PragerU is a propaganda channel. Nothing more, nothing less.

"Things move slower in the south, but not that slow!"
Actually it is somewhat true. I’m from Mississippi, and our 1st congressional district didn’t flip Republican until 2010. And it’s not lean Republican district either. Our state senator and many house members switched over to the Republican Party not too long after Obama got elected. By 2010, Republicans took over the house here. And it wasn’t because we had all new members. It was because most of them switched parties, and those we’re conservative democrats.
@@underground9260 Yes but there are so many variables and moving parts. Not the least of which is the Democrat Party's lurch into Regressive Marxist politics (they lie and call it progressive just like Mao, Castro, Pol Pot, and other fascists). The Democrat Party left them morso than they left the party.
@@underground9260 2010 was the Tea Party movement, which was an effort (that failed) to bring fiscal responsibility back into the government following TARP and other bailouts/quantitative easing by Bush in his last year and Obama in his first 2 years.
Oh my goodness you're great to listen thanks for letting know and remember our history
Amen to that. I'm a southerner and I don't care what color the person is within that office as long as they share my values
Thank you, Professor Swain! I knew for an absolute fact that the parties never changed.. You just really summed it up well to help me explain it better. God Bless!
