yet it is being made a Republican v Democrat issue today....Democrats keep claiming that Republicans are racist bigots.....when history shows otherwise...
....the facts show 80% of Rs were FOR the Civil Rights bill while only 60% of the Ds were for it......and a large group of Democrats filibustered against it.....
As if there are no racist bigots among Democrats and Republicans.
Fact also show that 100% of Southern Republicans were against it while only 95% of southern Democrats were against it.
of course there were racist bigots in both parties back then....i'm sure today as well....
still no reason to call Republicans bigots because SOUTHERNERS as a whole were bigots...
I don't recall ever making a statement that Republicans were bigots merely because they are Republicans, southern or not.
