Are you citing Pat Buchanan in support of a claim that the GOP isn't racist?  That's a clown post, bro.

The Southern strategy had nothing to do with pandering to racists.

It had everything to do with that; it was that.

The only segregationist to switch parties was Thurmond? How about Jesse Helms?

Don't forget Trent Lott and Mills Godwin.

Who's Mills Goodwin?  And I don't think Trent Lott ever supported segregation.  The only evidence for that was his comment at Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday party, and even that was taken out of context.

Mills Godwin was a Virginia segregationist and member of the Byrd Machine who served as a Democratic Governor in the 1960s before switching parties under Nixon and being elected again.  And as for Lott,

When was Jesse Helms a Democrat?  He was a Republican for his entire Senate career.  

He switched the year before he ran for the Senate, after his daughter pointed out that he never supported the Democratic candidates.  Jesus Christ, learn some basic history before you take such moronic positions.

From what I know about Trent Lott and read about Mills Godwin after you posted this, it doesn't seem like either one switched parties because of race, but rather for political expediency.  And considering that Time is one of the most liberal magazines in America, I really can't help but doubt the accuracy of that.

Seriously?  Can you really not connect the dots?  And Time was quoting someone, so don't BS about Time being liberal.
