^ It's way more complicated than this. You have to understand how Dixiecrats played into the scenario during the civil rights movement. The National Democrat party was faced with doing what was right (voting for civil rights), or maintaining power by keeping segregationalist Dixiecrats on board. They ultimately passed civil rights legislation with Republicans and cleaved their party in two. Goldwater (R) used this opportunity to convert the segregationalist (and Democrat) south into a Republican stronghold by becoming more racist.

- The point I was trying to make is that this "neo-segregation" is coming from the left, in line with one of my previous posts, this is not 1930's segregationdrgs
- I don't love it, but it's a choice students can make, no? A little different than 'segregation' in the 50s/60s. Seems like a culture/comfort thing.mathinc
- Slaves a culture comfort thing? Philosophy matters. Reason.deathboy
