Damn, you are ignorant. You try to act like some know it all political buff, but you have no idea of our countries history.

Ever heard the saying "The democrats lost the South when they fought Jim Crow" ?




http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_...mocratic_Party
1948 presidential election

The States' Rights Democratic Party was a short-lived splinter group that broke from the Democratic Party in 1948. The States' Rights Democratic Party opposed racial integration and wanted to retain Jim Crow laws and racial segregation. The party slogan was "Segregation Forever!" Members of the States' Rights Democratic Party, were often known as Dixiecrats.

The party was formed after thirty-five delegates from Mississippi and Alabama walked out of the 1948 Democratic National Convention. Even before the convention started, the Southern delegates were upset by President Harry S. Truman's executive order to racially integrate the armed forces. The walkout was prompted by a controversial speech by Senator Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota urging the party to adopt an anti-segregationist plank in the platform.

After President Truman's endorsement of the civil rights plank, Strom Thurmond, governor of South Carolina, helped organize the walkout delegates into a separate party, whose platform was ostensibly concerned with states' rights. The Dixiecrats held their convention in Birmingham, Alabama, where they nominated Thurmond for president and Fielding L. Wright, governor of Mississippi, for vice president. Dixiecrat leaders worked to have Thurmond-Wright declared the "official" Democratic Party ticket in Southern states. They succeeded only in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina; in other states, they were forced to run as a third-party ticket


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strom_Thurmond
On September 16, 1964; Thurmond switched his party affiliation, becoming a Republican in protest of the Democrats' support and President Johnson's shepherding of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Thurmond played an important role in building Republican support in the South, which was overwhelmingly Democrat prior to the early 1960s. He campaigned on behalf of Richard Nixon to support the Republicans' Southern Strategy, undoubtedly bringing in Southern voters who otherwise would have voted for segregationalist candidate George Wallace in the 1968 election.

Exactly, which is why you just have to ignore and/or laugh at his dim witted attempts to opine on social/racial issues of this country. He's oh so "I'm a PROUD WHITE American" yet he's done nothing of substance in his 20 some odd years that he can say helped the Whites Of America.

You're blaming Blacks for Affirmative Action?? You're more than idiot if that's the case! The over whelming majority recipient of Affirmative Action Measure have and will continue to be White Women!!! Look up the numbers, you may learn something (and quit posting ---- you have no idea about).

Richard Pryor career was built on talking about white people?? Are you smokijng crack? He spent most of his career talking about his self and the dumb ---- he's done or been through! About the only things he did concerning whites were making them money and marrying them!!! (he married 2 white women, one of them twice! )

White Males used race as a basis to get ahead for YEARS! Now you all try to argue the loudest against it. Funny, since White Males still control the world and will until they blow this little rock called Earth into nuclear dust.
