I want evidence that supports the claim that, "tons", od Southern Democrats switched to the Republican party for racist reasons and that the Republican party was made up of racists at the time the CRA was passed. Those are the claims that have been made, I'm asking for proof; how you prove it is your business.
Would this be proof enough for you?
1- a list of politicians who switched from the Democrat Party to the Republican Party during the period of the Civil Rights Movement and the implementation of the Southern Strategy.
2- a mathematical analysis of that list which shows an inordinate percentage of Southern politicians making that jump as opposed to any other area of the nation.
3- a list of politicians who at the same time switched from the Republican party during the same period
4- a mathematical analysis of that same list and a comparison to show that it dwarfs the opposite list
5- representative statements from the architects of the Southern Strategy
Would all or a significant part of any of that constitute the proof you are looking for?
