You're hilarious, and a butcher of fact as well as history!
Back before the '80s, the "South" was solidly Democrat. That overt racism came to an end in the 50's and 60's, not the 1980's. But then,
you'd have needed to actually read some books or something to have learned that.

Funny that you think the overt racism ended in the 1980's!
Was that due to Reagan's two terms, or the First Bush ?!?!?!
Have you ever heard of the "Dixiecrats?" They were DEMOCRATS who attempted to defeat the civil rights legislation in the south. They were so
adamant that they threatened to leave the Democratic party after LBJ (a Democrat) "pushed" civil rights legislation.
Do you know what a "Carpetbagger" is?
Here's a hint: They weren't democrats.
