The Big Lie: Democrats and Republicans didn't switch positions on race; Democrats have always been racist

Allegedly the vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 precipitated the two parties switching their positions on racism.

But only 1 Democrat Senator who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 became a Republican.

Similarly only one Democrat member of the House who voted against the Act became a Republican.

Larry Elder explains why the South started voting Republican:

“The reason the South became increasingly more conservative is because the the Democrats became increasingly more left-wing,” Elder explained. “They became increasingly anti-religious, increasingly pro-abortion, increasingly higher taxes [and] pro-union. They were anti-Vietnam War, and the South felt very differently about that.”

Elder remarked, “There was a gradual change [in the South] from pro-Democrat to pro-Republican, and that change wasn’t even completed until the 1990s. It took 30 years for the South to go from Democrat to Republican, but we’re turning this all on race and the 1964 Civil Rights Act?”

Elder maintained, “It is simply not true. This narrative that they have to use in order to airbrush over their skanky history. This is the party of slavery. This is the party that founded the Klan. It wasn’t Democrat Party that did it, but Democrats founded the Klan, and the [Ku Klux Klan members] were all belonging to the Democratic Party. In fact, the NAACP used to refer to the KKK as the terror wing of the Democratic Party.”

Elder added, “Never mind the first Republican president to win was a guy named Abraham Lincoln, and the reason for the start of the Republican Party was to stop and eventually to end the practice of slavery. The fact is that history is taught by the left. Government schools are dominated, of course, by the left. Hollywood is dominated by the left. The media as dominated by the left, too, so this message of ‘the switch’ has been unchallenged, has been perpetuated, and now a lot of young people believe it.”

The South didn't slowly vote switch to voting Republican because the Republicans were racists, remember it was Republicans who forced school integration in the South, but because Democrats moved to the hard left mocking Southerners religious beliefs and their patriotism.

Here's a few of the Democrat policies stretching from the founding of the party by a slave owner to today which are racist:

• The Democrat party was founded by a Southern slave owner who treated native Americans horribly
• The Democrat party fought the Civil War to keep slavery legal
• The Democrat party founded the KKK
• The Democrat party passed all the Jim Crow laws that kept Blacks in the back of the bus
• The Democrat party instituted segregated schools
• The Democrat party kept the military segregated
• The Democrat party supported the Civil Rights Act of 1964 much less than the Republican party did
• The Democrat party created a welfare system that they had every reason to believe would hurt Blacks
• The Democrat party did nothing to fix the problems their welfare system was creating for Blacks
• The Democrat party ignores the thousands of Blacks shot in Democrat run cities each year
• The Democrat party says that letting Black kids go to good schools is "racist"
• The Democrat party has no problem with Black women being 3 times as likely to abort as white women
• The Democrat party treats any Black who disagrees with them--Kanye, Ben Carson, Candice Owens, Justice Thomas for example--horribly calling them names
• The Democrat party's Presidential candidate, Joe Biden, has said that Blacks who don't vote for him aren't really Black

Republicans want to end abortion so that we don't lose so many Blacks.

Republicans want Blacks to have school choice so they can send their kids to decent schools.

Republicans want enterprise zones in Black areas to draw in good jobs.

Republicans want to enforce the law and stop the slaughter of Blacks in Democrat run cities like Chicago.

Don't forget that George Floyd was killed by cops in a city run by Democrats, in a state run by Democrats.
