Derrick Bell,<ref>https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/derrick-bell/</ref> [[Barack Obama]]’s favorite [[Harvard]] professor, devised Critical Race Theory,<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/critical-race-theorys-toxic-destructive-impact-on-america</ref> which exemplifies Lenin’s strategy as applied to race. According to Discover the Networks:

{{quotebox|Critical race theory contends that America is permanently racist to its core, and that consequently the nation’s legal structures are, by definition, racist and invalid … members of “oppressed” racial groups are entitled—in fact obligated—to determine for themselves which laws and traditions have merit and are worth observing. …}}

Bell’s theory is in turn an innovation of [[Critical Theory]], which was developed by Marxist thinkers of the [[Frankfurt School]] in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1923. The Institute’s left-wing scholars fled Hitler’s Germany in the 1930s, relocating to [[Columbia University]] in New York. Critical Theory, which discredits all aspects of Western society, we know today as [[political correctness]]. One of its most famous purveyors was the Frankfurt School’s [[Herbert Marcuse]], longtime associate of the [[Southern Poverty Law Center]]’s [[Julian Bond]]. Marcuse invented the concept of “partisan tolerance,” that is, [[tolerance]] for leftist ideas and [[intolerance]] of all others. The Southern Poverty Law Center applied ~~Marcuse’s~~ strategy in developing its “Hate Watch” list, and ''[[Rules for Radicals]]'' author [[Saul Alinsky]] used it in his own ~~life’s~~ work.

The “racist” narrative was turbocharged with the concept of “White Privilege,” the notion that whites—the dominant [[demographic]] group in capitalist America—are irretrievably racist, [[sexist]], [[homophobic]], [[xenophobic]], [[imperialist]]ic oppressors who exploit everyone. Whites are the only true [[evil]] in the world and should be exterminated. “Dr. Kamau Kambon, who taught Africana Studies 241 in the Spring 2005 semester at North Carolina State University, also said this needs to be done ‘because white people want to kill us.’”<ref>''[https://www.carolinajournal.com/news-article/activist-exterminate-white-people/ Activist: exterminate white people],'' by Jon Sanders, Carolina Journal, Oct. 21, 2015.</ref>

Writing under the alias Noel Ignatin, Ignatiev co-authored a [[Students for a Democratic Society]] (SDS) pamphlet with fellow radical Ted Allen titled, ''White Blindspot''. In 1992 he co-founded ''Race Traitor: Journal of the New Abolitionism''.

Taking advantage of a deep split in the GOP, the Democrats took control of the House in 1910 and elected the Northern segregationist Woodrow Wilson as president in 1912 and 1916. In his first year in office, Wilson permitted his Treasury and the Post Office to begin efforts to [[segregate]] the federal workforce, particularly in the Columbia District. It was often carried out surreptitiously. Yet Wilson condoned it and tried to duck its implications in a manner we would describe today as slimy. Wilson ordered [[Jim Crow]] segregation in all federal government facilities in Washington DC, wiping out 50 years of social progress that African-Americans made under Republicans. No longer could blacks and whites work together in government offices, eat in the same cafeterias, our use the same bathrooms. The Wilson administration went a step further. Through the Treasury Department's Office of the Architect, the bureau charged with construction and maintenance of federal buildings, federal buildings throughout the nation were ordered to furnish segregated bathrooms, even in Northern states were practices as such were virtually unknown.<ref>''American Nightmare: The History of Jim Crow'', Jerrold M. Packard, St. Martin's Press, 2003, pp. 124-125</ref>

Wilson also curtailed minority appointments to executive, diplomatic, and judicial positions. Those latter numbers ~~weren’t~~ large — about 30 — but they were posts traditionally reserved for black Americans. The signal was terrible, even if ~~it’s~~ unclear that those black appointments would have met approval from a Senate controlled by Southern Democrats.

Furthermore, constitutional amendments for prohibition and woman suffrage were passed in his second term. In effect, Wilson laid to rest the issues of tariffs, money and antitrust that had dominated politics for 40 years.

After furious debate, the resolution failed by a vote of 542.85 in favor to 546.15 opposed.<ref>[http://armored-column.com/the-democratic-klanbake-1924/ Democratic "Klanbake" Convention]</ref> The soaring temperatures gave the convention the name, the Klanbake. At its peak in the mid-1920s, the KKK claimed to include about 15% of the nation's eligible voters, approximately 4–5 million people.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/Article.jsp?id=h-2730 |title=Ku Klux Klan in the Twentieth Century |author=Lay, Shawn |website=New Georgia Encyclopedia |publisher=Coker College }}</ref> The Klan split in the party over cultural issues, especially [[Prohibition]], facilitated Republican landslides in 1920, 1924 and 1928. However [[Al Smith]] did build a strong Catholic base in the big cities in 1928, and [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]'s election as Governor of New York that year brought a new leader to center stage.

=== New Deal coalition of liberals and segregationists ===

Line 480: Line 480:

Roosevelt built up the "[[New Deal Coalition]]", a diverse coalition of voters and special interest groups often with conflicting interests. Key components included corrupt big city political machines and labor unions. Key voter groups included traditional white segregationists, Southerners, Catholics, Jews, and liberals, as well as some Northern blacks. Southern New Dealers did not allow Blacks to vote. The big-city machines, largely controlled by immigrant leaders and unions, as well as blacks, were all tied to the party whose existence was maintained by a venomously, anti-Catholic, anti-labor and racist power center - the Southern Bourbon Democrats. The other keystone of the alliance was the [[Communist Party]] and other leftists, who played a crucial role in allying with Roosevelt and the Democrats to ensure that workers did not transcend trade unionism into political action independent of the Democratic Party. This voter base allowed Democrats to be elected to Congress and the presidency for much of the next 30 years.

After a sweeping landslide reelection in 1936—losing only Maine and Vermont—Roosevelt stunned the nation, and his party, by calling for legislation to enlarge the Supreme Court by five new members after the court found illegal and unconstitutional many of Roosevelt's first term programs. A firestorm of opposition erupted, led by his own vice president [[John Nance Garner]]. Roosevelt was defeated by an alliance of Republicans and conservative Democrats, who formed a coalition that managed to block nearly all socialist planning. (Only a minimum wage law got through.) Angry with dissenters in his own party, Roosevelt tried to destroy them. In 1938, he actively campaigned against five incumbent conservative Democratic senators; all five senators won re-election.

====Housing discrimination becomes law====

The [[Federal Housing Administration]] (FHA) was created by the Democratic congress in 1934 to insure loans for construction and repairs of homes. White middle-class families could buy suburban homes with little or no down payments and extended 30-year amortization schedules and their monthly charges were often less than rents the families had previously paid to housing authorities or private landlords. But the FHA had an explicit policy of not insuring suburban mortgages for African-Americans, according to writer Richard Rothstein on the ''The American Prospect'' website. In suburban New ~~York’s~~ Nassau County, just east of Queens, Levittown was built in 1947 containing 17,500 mass-produced two-bedroom houses, requiring nothing down and monthly payments of about only $60. At the ~~FHA’s~~ insistence, developer William Levitt did not sell homes to Blacks, and each deed included a prohibition of such resales in the future.<ref>https://www.npr.org/2017/05/03/526655831/a-forgotten-history-of-how-the-u-s-government-segregated-america</ref>

====Communist infiltration====

Line 573: Line 573:

On the right, the Republicans blasted Truman's domestic policies. "Had Enough?" was the winning slogan as Republicans recaptured Congress in 1946. Many party leaders were ready to dump Truman, but they lacked an alternative. The party was split three ways. [[Henry Wallace]], who Roosevelt threw off the ticket in 1944 ran as a [[Progressive]] while [[J. Strom Thurmond]], who remained a staunch supporter of FDR split off and ran as a [[Dixiecrat]]. Republican overconfidence led to many failing to show up at the polls and Truman was reelected in a stunning surprise. However, all of Truman's Fair Deal proposals, such as universal health care were defeated by the [[Conservative Coalition]] in Congress. His [[nationalization]] of the steel industry was reversed by the Supreme Court.

In foreign policy, Europe was occupied but divided between the Western alliance and the Communist bloc as troubles mounted in Asia. American troops were now facing down the New Deal's Stalinist allies in the streets of Berlin. Kuomintang China, a major ally in the war against [[Japan]], fell to the Stalinist communist bloc in 1949. Truman, under the [[UN]] banner, entered the [[Korean War]] without formal Congressional approval—the last time a president would ever do so. When the war stalemated in 1951 because of Truman's reluctance to use nuclear weapons, he fired General [[Douglas MacArthur]], a hero to conservatives. Republicans blasted Truman's failure to stop Communist gains in Asia. A series of petty scandals among friends and buddies of Truman further tarnished his image, allowing [[Dwight Eisenhower]] and the Republicans in 1952 to crusade against "Korea, Communism and Corruption." Truman dropped out of the presidential race early in 1952, leaving no obvious successor. The convention nominated [[Adlai Stevenson]] in 1952 and 1956, only to see him overwhelmed by two Eisenhower landslides. Stevenson, a New Deal liberal, adopted the traditional Democratic Southern Strategy of choosing a Southern white male for ~~Vice President~~ in both elections to appeal to Southern voters, who regularly would not allow African Americans to register to vote.

====Voter suppression and election fraud====

Two term New Dealer Sen. Theodore Bilbo faced three primary challengers running for a third term and told a group of supporters,

{{quotebox-float|“I’m calling on every red-blooded American who believes in the superiority and integrity of the white race to get out and see that no n***** votes.”}}

In true Democrat tradition, Bilbo won the rigged primary election with 51% in a four way contest. The Republicans won back control of the Senate that year in the 1946 general election and refused to seat Bilbo as his comments about Democrat [[voter suppression]] to rig the election became more widely known. He died 7 months later, unable to take his seat, while the Senate was still investigating.<ref>http://www.mississippihistory.org/sites/default/files/bilbo.pdf</ref>

====Brown vs. Board of Education====

Line 597: Line 597:

The Southern Manifesto was a document issued in response to the Supreme Court's 1954 ruling ''[[Brown v. Board of Education]]'', which integrated public schools. School segregation laws were some of the most enduring and best-known of the [[Jim Crow]] laws that characterized the American South at the time. All but twenty-eight of the 138 southern Democrat members of Congress signed this Southern Manifesto, including 19 of the Majority Democrat Senators.<ref>https://d1lexza0zk46za.cloudfront.net/history/am-docs/southern-manifesto.pdf</ref> [[John Sparkman]], 1952 Vice Presidential candidate as part of the Democrat's Southern Strategy, [[J. William Fulbright]] mentor of Bill Clinton, Richard Brevard Russell of the [[Warren Commission]], [[Sam Ervin]] of the [[Watergate]] Committee, [[Hale Boggs]] (the father of [[NPR]]'s Cokie Roberts), and [[Wilbur Mills]] were all signatories. It reads in part: {{quotebox|"This unwarranted exercise of power by the Court, contrary to the Constitution, is creating chaos and confusion in the States principally affected. It is destroying the amicable relations between the white and Negro races that have been created through 90 years of patient effort by the good people of both races. It has planted hatred and suspicion where there has been heretofore friendship and understanding....We commend the motives of those States which have declared the intention to resist forced integration by any lawful means."}} [[File:Little Rock Nine.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Republican President Dwight Eisenhower called out the 101st Airborne to protect Black school children from Democrat protesters after a Democrat governor refused to implement a desegregation order written by the Republican Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.]]

The Southern Manifesto was signed on a large mahogany conference table in Sen. [[John Stennis]]' office which Stennis used as his desk and referred to as "the flagship of the [[Confederacy]]." The table was used by segregationist and co-signer of the Southern Manifesto Sen. [[Richard Russell]] before his retirement. When Stennis retired in 1988, Sen. [[Joseph Biden]] took over Stennis' office, including the conference table. When Sen. Biden was elected ~~Vice President~~ in 2008, Biden had the flagship of the Confederacy moved into the Vice President's residence.

One of the first challenges to ''Brown v. Board of Education'' occurred when Democrat Governor [[Orval E. Faubus]] ordered the Arkansas National Guard to prevent African-American students from enrolling at [[Little Rock]] Central High School. Central High was an all-white school. Faubus ordered the troops to "accomplish the mission of maintaining or restoring law and order and to preserve the peace, health, safety and security of the citizens." A force of 289 soldiers was assembled. The commander told nine black students, six girls and thee boys ages 15–17 years old who were attempting to enter the school, to return home. The standoff continued for three weeks. Little Rock Democrat mayor Woodrow Wilson Mann appealed to President Eisenhower to help end the deadlock. Eisenhower sent the [[101st Airborne Division]] to federalized the entire 10,000-member Arkansas National Guard. The students were allowed to enroll.

Integration and the civil rights movement caused enormous controversy in the white South, with many attacking it as a violation of states' rights. When segregation was outlawed by Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices and by the [[bi-partisan]] Civil Rights acts of 1964 and 1965, a die-hard element of Democrats resisted integration, led by Democrats [[Orval Faubus]] of Arkansas, Lester Maddox of Georgia, [[Al Gore, Sr.]] of Tennessee, [[J. William Fulbright]] of Arkansas and [[George Wallace]] of Alabama. These racists appealed to a less-educated, blue-collar electorate that on economic grounds favored [[New Deal]] [[white privilege]] and opposed desegregation. After 1965 most Southerners accepted integration, with the exception of public schools in an effort led by Sen. [[Joseph Biden]].<ref name="politico.com">https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/08/joe-biden-integration-school-busing-120968_full.html</ref> Just as the Republican, Martin Luther King had promised, integration had brought about a new day in Southern politics, freeing both blacks and whites from old hatreds and fears.

However, the Republicans regained their Senate majority with gains in 2002 and 2004, leaving the Democrats with only 44 seats, the fewest since the 1920s.
