you call the media fakers, but in truth, it's easy to mistake that those 2 Codgers Biden referenced were Republicans. so much has changed since those guys were Members of Congress, you know that.. I told you earlier in this thread. in fact, things changed fast.. Trent Lott, Jesse Helms.. the move from the 70's to the 90's was the Generational move that switched Racist Lawmakers to the Republican side of the aisle.
why not admit that? you guys go back 150 years, and champion Abe Lincoln as your Republican Civil Rights Model, LOL

Good points Tran. The dixiecrats were democrats in name only. Many of them switched to the Republican party, like Strum Thurman who swithched to the Republican party in 1964.

Conclusion
While the notion that Dixiecrats all became Republicans is nothing more than another in a line of dubious urban legends; it’s clear that for generations its stories have been told (and retold) to manipulate and discourage Blacks from considering the Republican Party and, or more importantly, the tenets of conservative ideas. Unfortunately, the references made to State’s Rights commonly attributed to conservative ideology are still being widely used to link conservatives with segregationists. This, too, is nothing more than an urban legend. Sadly, these live on to smear and misrepresent not only our history but also the character and reputation of men and women of principle.
