And they switched over to Republican after 1964. You know the KKK, the southern Dixiecrats. They just switched places.

Trump fans are bitching about "White Genocide" , Muslims and Mexicans taking over, etc...

Talk about a victim mentality and playing the oppressed card.

Been watching too much MSNBC?

The vast majority of Trump supporters don't believe that is going on. But, they do believe that this country needed a change from the Great Divider and career politicians who stick it to the average citizen at every opportunity.
They voted for Trump because the alternative was a career identity politician who changed her view when ever the wind blew.
They voted for Trump because they were tired of sending billions overseas when their own veterans were suffering at home.
They are tired of low testosterone lefties trying to direct the moral compass of the country.

Why did you not pull yourself up by your bootstraps in Russia? Did you have a victim mentality in Russia? Some Jews in Russia were successful.....whats your excuse?

Barry Goldwater and, later, Nixon's Southern Strategy were the turning points. It's well known.

The entire "Oppression" argument is an excuse by the Black community for lack of accomplishment. It is the same tired, old argument that the "Man" is keeping them down. Then they'll blame slavery, and call people "Racists!"

People who spout this crap have never had to walk a mile in someone else's shoes.
