The author should be censured for blatant, willful inaccuracies.

Any supposed 'whitelash' is NOT a "religion of the Deep South".
It may have occurred geographically in the Deep South but it is not OF the Deep South.
It may have occurred through soe white people, but it was not OF white people.

Most accurately speaking, racism is OF the Democrats. Democrats who happended to be white, and happened to be I the south. But it was the label 'Democrat' that was universally connected to racism. Racism was not a universally southern nor white province. But it was a decidedly Democrat province.

KNOWN your history.

Btw, Denish D'Souza has a good film highlighting the inconvenientreality about Democrat racism. Y'all should take a gander at it.
