Barry Goldwater voted against the 1964 Civil Rights act, and the Republican party promptly rewarded him the same year by nominating him for president.
And which states did he manage to win? Mostly those solidly Democratic states in the South.
Those were Southern CONSERVATIVE Democrats voting with their feet...
...to leave the Democratic party.
The idiocy of facts and truth??????
Bump for NY...After World War II, during the civil rights movement, Democrats in the South initially still voted loyally with their party. The signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, however, was the last straw for many Southern Democrats, who began voting against Democratic incumbents for GOP candidates. The Republicans carried many Southern states for the first time since before the Great Depression.

The Democrats, with overwhelming majority in legislature, didn't have enough votes.

Not so nice way of saying it, bump for the idiots that are unable/unwilling to read and/or comprehend.
Why don't you people give it a rest??
Gee, I don't know... maybe it's in response to the 'why all blacks hate the republican party' thread? Or is that thread ok?
So what you're saying is the actions of people in positions of power in government can affect people and their personal lives to a point that hinders them socially? So much for personal responsability and pull yourself up by your bootstraps.You mean Democrats like Robert Byrd? Isn't he the only one still in the Senate who voted on the Civil Rights Act?
The Democratic Party has virtually destroyed the Black population in this country, enacting program after program based on paternalism and misguided notions. It has sapped all the vitality out of that population. This is why when you see a succesful Black businessman he is likely to be a Republican. When you see a party hack, he is likely to be a Democrat.

Hey, I haven't seen you lately. Hope you have a happy new year!!!
I think that these threads are presumptuous. It's impossible to lump a group of people together and think that they all share a single thought.

Facts confuse you much?
Both Southern Democrats and Southern Republicans opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The split was North/South not Democrat/Republican. After 1965 the once "Solid South" Democrats became Republicans.
Surprisingly, the Southern Republicans are now the base of the GOP having lost the Northeast and West
