You do realize that most of the bigoted south were democrats at the time of the civil rights movement.
And that it was Republicans who fought for abolition.
Well yea, of course, everyone knows that. That's why all those racists left the Democratic Party and joined the welcoming embrace of the Republican Party, or, as some people refer to it, the "Confederate Party".
Then, all the liberals who were for "equal rights" and against the Jim Crow laws, moved to the Democratic Party. That's why the Republican Party is rooted in the south and so many leaders of that party speak with that "Jethro and Ellie Mae" accent. Why they are anti education. Why no KKK or Aryans belong to the Democratic Party.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Good job. A higher % of GOP congressfolks voted for the Civil Rights (1964) and Voting Rights (1965) than did the Dems, though the Dems numbers were much higher than the Pubs. Those votes so infuriated racist Democrats in the South that they joined the GOP there, while many good American GOP voters joined the Democrats in the South. Still that way.
