Do you really believe Allison, in this 24/7 news cycle, and with YouTube, that even one instance of someone denying a minority the vote, it wouldn't receive national attention? Really?

Painting others with a broad brush Surtr is a perilous venture. Black and Hispanic attitudes tend to change when their economic conditions improve. No one said anything about assimilating illegal aliens - they should be sent home expeditiously. Your implied solution seems to be, round all non-whites up and send them somewhere else.

Who is "us" Allison? Who is "you"? I'm an American of mixed race, my wife is of Asian descent. So, you're good with Balkanization in the U.S?

Devil Dog, I think it was the "Reverend Jackson" rather than Sharpton. Personal responsibility trumps whatever demographic, racial makeup, etc. People like Star Parker decide not to accept their Democrat-encouraged place and rise out of it.

Well said Mother of 4!

...CONSERVATIVE Democrats. It was never going to support Northern Liberals like Mario Cuomo, Ted Kennedy, Michael Dukakis, Barack Obama, etc. It has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with philosophy. Congressman Tim Scott beat Strom Thurmond's son, a white guy, and became the first black Republican Representative from South Carolina in 114 years. He was elected on his character not the colour of his skin. Anyone, who believes that the South was going to vote for Humphrey, McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, Kerry, Obama, Hillary Clinton, Cuomo, etc., has lost their ever loving mind. BTW:  The answer to the question is NONE.  They all died as Democrats. http://predicthistunpredictpast.blogspot.com/2012/05/tired-o

Instead you should look at who the next two Democrat candidates were for POTUS were: Humphrey and McGovern. The South was/is CONSERVATIVE. It was never going to vote for Liberal peaceniks. Jimmy Carter won the ENTIRE South in 1976 a mere EIGHT YEARS after Nixon had supposedly crafted the Southern Strategy that was going to steal the region from the Democrats f-o-r-e-v-e-r. Clinton won Louisiana, Georgia, Arkansas, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Kentucky in 1992. He won all of those except Georgia, which he swapped for Florida, in 1996. Since the 1960s, there have been more Democrat governors in the South than Republicans and more Democratic legislatures. As I said, the South is CONSERVATIVE. It is not LIBERAL. It voted for CONSERVATIVE

Jim5522, to correct your mis-understanding of history, I'll point you to some research from Mo, our resident phenomenal researcher: Why did JFK, LBJ, etc., vote again Eisenhower's Civil Rights Act of 1957? You should also look at the percentages of the 1964 & 1965 votes. Without Republicans, neither would have passed since more Republicans supported the legislation than Democrats. "Yes, many southern Democrats opposed those bills, but after they passed, most of those people switched parties, and the South turned Republican." Other than Strom Thurmond, please tell me which of the following died as Republicans: Al Gore, Sr. Orval Faubus William J Fullbright Bull Connor Robert J Byrd Fritz Hollings J. Lister Hill John Sparkman

Ha! It had nothing to do with the case, only how much money he said he had to post bail. Ha! He'll be acquitted of the charges!
