MUST READ! Groundbreaking 3 part political series written by highly acclaimed journalist Kevin Fobbs. Part 2 - New South, New Century, New Tea Party America: New Civil War. Kevin Fobbs reports... The end of the 20th century and the dawn of the 21st has brought with it vicious and oftentimes demeaning characterizations of the south. Hollywood and mainstream media are the primary culprits. Hollywood has pursued a uniform objective, which is to portray the deep south as caught in a perpetual time warp between 1865 and the late 1960’s. Hollywood and liberals want Americans to believe that southerners are race-hating, bible absorbed zealots who are armed to the teeth, with guns poking out from their windows and doors. This regional bigotry is not unique to entertainment; aside from TV and movies, it appears in news articles, speeches and in negative political advertising. It is used to promote an agenda of hate designed to marginalize the south politically, thus dismissing senators and representatives from the region, who are predominantly Republican, as ignorant, Bible-thumping racists. The point is to create fear and resentment, and create political capital for liberals and their candidates. By weaponizing hate, liberals attempt to discredit southern conservatives both black and white. Elections have consequences, and with the rise of the Tea Party, a new south was emerging as well. Blacks were running for office in southern states as Republicans, and they were fully embracing colorblind universal issues like smaller government, pro-life, pro Second Amendment, and balanced budgets. Prominent among the new southern and national Tea Party leadership is Lloyd Marcus, Chairman of the Conservative Campaign Committee / 1 Million People to Defeat Barack Obama and creator of the Tea Party Anthem.

By 2014, the political setting was perfect for black southern conservatives to grab the brass ring. A year earlier, Louisiana State Senator Elbert Lee Guillory announced that he was becoming a Republican. He explained his decision to the nation in a popular YouTube video, “Why I Am a Republican.” The video was a hit; it has garnered over 1.2 million views since its 2013 release.

The south would set the stage. ***Read more of the highly anticipated political series at: commdiginews/politics-2/new-south-new-century-new-tea-party-america-new-civil-war-part-two-32163/#PyDhmL68Ts8xixpl.99 ***Part 3 of the political series: A South Renewed and Reborn: Impact 2016 - will be published in C.D.N. on Monday, December 29th.
