The Rise of Southern Republicans by Earl and Merle Black. A classic text on the shift from Democrat to Republican in the South - a shift which was based primarily on economic factors.




I'm fairly certain that this guy is a flaming liberal. You might as well judge President Obama on what Commanman writes about him.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Black

Earl Black (born 1942) is a professor of Political Science at Rice University and a well-known expert on the politics of the Southern United States, particularly as they relate to race. He and his twin brother, Merle Black, a professor at Emory University, have written several books on the politics of the South and the United States as a whole. Earl Black earned a B.A. at the University of Texas at Austin in 1964 and his
Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1968

Well provide us with some 'narrative' from it that describes how masses of Democratic Racists left the Party to become Republicans.

The narrative already exists; it's referred to as the Southern Strategy, but the efficacy of that strategy is largely a myth based on what I stated above.

He's claiming all the racists left the democrat party, and basically founded the modern republican party.

Looking at his comments in this thread and the other thread, that doesn't appear to me to be what he's saying.

If it is, it's wrong, because poor white Southerners were voting Democratic while their wealthier counterparts were switching to the Republican Party. Once you control for racial attitudes, the reason people switched parties was economic.

Now, some notable racists did leave the Democrat party and joined the Republicans such as Strom Thurmond and David Duke. However, this in and of itself is no indicator that millions of Americans followed suit.

So ignore the degree from the University of Texas, which was a fairly conservative institution at the time Black was receiving his degree, and focus on the degree from Harvard, which is hardly a measure of liberalism or conservatism, and Voila! a liberal.

Way to sniff that one out. Or you could just purchase and read the book.
