No, I'm saying that Clay Risen's op-ed/article ain't all that it's cracked up to be in supporting your hypothesis that the Dems and/or LBJ engineered the Southern Strategy...

As for your Googling??? Exhibit #2,615 that you don't want to discuss issues but are pathologically obsessed with me...

But never mind your mental illness issues... Here's the real deal in terms of real American History... The Democratic Party and LBJ had nothing to gain by pushing the Civil Rights Act of 1964... The numbers weren't there... There weren't enough black voters to overcome the white reactionaries... If you, however, have knowledge that the 99% of American historians have missed then you need to lay it out...

If you don't??? Remember that song by Kenny Rogers??? "You gotta know when to fold 'um"??? You are there...
