"There is no proof that "states rights" is a code phrase for white supremacy." Actually, there is. However, if you refuse to accept it, that is your call. The Republicans themselves have said this. Now true, maybe I am missing the nuance, but...

>I don't care if "states rights" was used as an excuse for the federal government to not step in and counter Jim Crow. There is no proof that "states rights" is a code phrase for white supremacy. There is. It's been offered. You're ignoring it. There is not ONE other thing it would've meant in 1980 in Philadelphia, Mississippi. -Z

CJ, > That is exactly how that phrase was used for decades. I don't care if "states rights" was used as an excuse for the federal government to not step in and counter Jim Crow. There is no proof that "states rights" is a code phrase for white supremacy. Oh hell. Of course, states rights is code for discrimination. The Jim Crow South wanted the Feds to stay out of their affairs so they could maintain the separation of the races. It was the feds through the Supreme Court that over ruled Jim Crow. It was Lyndon Johnson I believe who was responsible for implementing the USSC rulings and demanded that Southern schools be integrated, sending troops down to the South to make it happen. It was then that the Dixiecrat Dems jumped the Dem party and went to the GOP. After that, state rights became the buzz word for racial discrimination and your Mr. Reagan did everything he could to emasculate the civil rights bills of the 1960s. And you guys think he was a great president??? You of all people......a man of color! You have no shame!
