At least the KKK is in the D's past and not in the present like with the R's.

And what percentage of those roots you were talking about were the KKK? Probably about the same.

Debunking the myth that americas current positive economical situation is the work of Trump:
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-polit...ed-the-economy
To sum it up:
For the one thing, the current state of the US economy is nothing special if compard to other countries.
The stock markets are at a high, but so re the stok markets in japan and germany ...
the percentage of jobless persons is at the lowest umber since 2 decades, but the same is true for japan ...
for the UK and germany it even is the lowest since the 1970s.
US GDP growth is above expectations, but same goes for the GDP growth in the Eurozone.
So, Trump just profits from a globally economically positive climate.
Also, Trump uses a lot of rhetorics, by painting numbers as spectacular, where under Obama, he pained the same numbers desastrous.
So, Trumps "economic successes" are nothing more than a good global economy paired with Trumps experience as snakeoil salesman (and the gullibility of his followers)Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve."

Nixon had to win southern states though so he campaigned for states rights. But it's not as though the Civil Rights Act was going to be over turned. The thing that really drove blacks to the Democratic Party was the great society and socialism. More people joined the Republican Party in opposition to socialism than because of racism. The Democratic party abandoned them because they developed a strategy for the baby boomers.

Yes, the Democrats were more southern and supportive of (or responsible for) Jim Crow and the Republicans were northern opponents - the situation hadn't changed much since the civil war. But it did change when southern Democrats began leaving the party because of Truman, JFK and LBJ. Goldwater was the perfect candidate for them, they could make the leap because a conservative Republican supported states rights.
Who were the Dixiecrats? Democrats who saw Truman interfering with their beloved apartheid. Eisenhower delayed the transformation of Dixiecrats into Republicans but it was Goldwater that inspired Strom to become a Republican.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ...
