It was Nixon who convinced racist Dems in the South that because Activists were attempting destroy their established culture their future lay with the Republican Party.
That said, seeing that the racists were Dems then, it might be valid.

You mean like the staunch Republican and well known right winger Sen Byrd?

Drew, until 2002 the political landscape in Georgia was single-party Democrat. Does it really fit into your stereotypical view of Southerners that every racist in Georgia was a member of the out-of-power-for-130-years Republican Party since Nixon?
That's truly giggleworthy.

It is sad that you and so many others have been ignorant of this, and many other similar massacres (Tulsa for one) that are part of our history. I'd recommend reviewing the work of Louis Filler, and Scott L. Malcomson for some details.

Epador:
What happened in Tulsa in 1921 was a race riot, not a massacre. However, the riot destroyed Tulsa's black business community.
In Tulsa's case, there are still a few survivors of the riot who are still alive.
