Request for info[edit]

The sources I've seen don't really go into specifics about who the leaders of the movement at a national level were during various periods. Anybody out there know of sources that go into the specifics?

The link for "Black and Tan" is incorrect: it leads to a page about mixed drinks. The correct link is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States_Republican_Party — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ritaxis (talk • contribs) 23:28, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Very disappointed[edit]

Had not looked at this article for a long time. Came back and found some editors had deliberately attempted to bury some of the negative history of the GOP and attempted to make the article more about the sins about the Democrats (the article's topic is about the GOP, of course; there are plenty of other articles about the Democrats). This is a very important facet of U.S. history and trying to undermine the article for some kind of partisan reasons is pretty horrible. I hope that won't happen again.

This entry seems like some sort of propoganda intended to slander the Republican party. No credible reference is given for its terms which are opinions spoken of as if facts and definitions. Whoever wrote this article is obviously not credible. Michael Servetus (talk) 15:53, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Needs work[edit]

I have tagged the article as unbalanced and in need of more sources. My chief concern is that the article makes factual statements (i.e. that the "lily-white" movement was a national phenomenon and that it succeeded in purging African-Americans from the GOP) and conclusions (that the "lily-white" movement was a cause of African-Americans eventually joining the Democratic Party en masse) about the topic of the article that are not adequately supported by cited sources. I am no historian, and do not know whether these facts and conclusions are accurate. If they are, there should be sources to support them, and those sources should be included in the article. If not, the article needs significant revision. SunCrow (talk) 23:57, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing no responses to my March comments above and the accompanying tags inserted into the article, I have removed a good deal of content that was unsourced. SunCrow (talk) 06:01, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No connection to anything credible[edit]

This seems like a piece of propoganda. The first two paragraphs have no references and give no basis for the term lily white or that this was an actual movement for the periods mentioned. No citations offered and mere assertions are stated as if facts and definitions for something. Michael Servetus (talk) 15:56, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
