And...southern, Conservative Democrats became what? Where are they now?

Answer: The modern-day GOP.

Prove it.....I can prove you're full of shit....you libtards are so uniformed it's a joke.....

Mississippi was a solid Democratic state up until 1964. Johnson pushed through the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Barry Goldwater voted against the bill. He was then nominated for president as the Republican candidate.

He got 80% of the Mississippi vote. Virtually the entire state flipped to the Republican side almost solely because the Democratic party under Johnson pushed through the civil rights bill.
 
And...southern, Conservative Democrats became what? Where are they now?

Answer: The modern-day GOP.

Wrong.

I still think liberals are bad news for most minorities. They seem okay as long as a minority is outspoken against their opponents, but for the most part, they would rather have minorities, and everyone else for that matter, dependent on government. That is why they are so nasty toward successful minorities.
 
Why not ask black people, or is their voice unqualified?

African Americans Return to Congress, 1929–1970

The Civil Rights Movement And The Second Reconstruction, 1945—1968

3-herblock-cartoon.jpg


A Herblock cartoon from March 1949 depicts a glum-looking President Harry S. Truman and “John Q. Public” inspecting worm-ridden apples representing Truman’s Fair Deal policies such as civil rights and rent controls. The alliance of conservative southern Democrats and Republicans in Congress who successfully blocked many of Truman’s initiatives is portrayed by the worm labeled “Coalition.”

The broad period from the end of World War II until the late 1960s, often referred to as the “Second Reconstruction,” consisted of a grass-roots civil rights movement coupled with gradual but progressive actions by the Presidents, the federal courts, and Congress to provide full political rights for African Americans and to begin to redress longstanding economic and social inequities. While African-American Members of Congress from this era played prominent roles in advocating for reform, it was largely the efforts of everyday Americans who protested segregation that prodded a reluctant Congress to pass landmark civil rights legislation in the 1960s.

During the 1940s and 1950s, executive action, rather than legislative initiatives, set the pace for measured movement toward desegregation. President Harry S. Truman “expanded on Roosevelt’s limited and tentative steps toward racial moderation and reconciliation.” Responding to civil rights advocates, Truman established the President’s Committee on Civil Rights. Significantly, the committee’s October 1947 report, To Secure These Rights, provided civil rights proponents in Congress a legislative blueprint for much of the next two decades. Among its recommendations were the creation of a permanent FEPC, the establishment of a permanent Civil Rights Commission, the creation of a civil rights division in the U.S. Department of Justice, and the enforcement of federal anti-lynching laws and desegregation in interstate transportation. In 1948, President Truman signed Executive Order 9981, desegregating the military. Truman’s civil rights policies contributed to the unraveling of the solid Democratic South. Alienated by the administration’s race policies, a faction of conservative southerners split to form the Dixiecrats, a racially conservative party that nominated South Carolina Governor (and future U.S. Senator) Strom Thurmond as its presidential candidate in 1948. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, though more cautious, also followed his predecessor’s pattern—desegregating Washington, DC, overseeing the integration of blacks to the military, and promoting minority rights in federal contracts.

How many people of color were involved in the Democratic party during this time?


Hiram Rhodes Revels of Mississippi was the first black United States senator serving from 1870-1871 as a Republican.

Blanche Bruce was elected as a Republican to the United States Senate and served from March 4, 1875 to March 3, 1881.

Ida B. Wells was a journalist, advocate for civil rights and an anti-lynching crusader. She was born in Springfield, Mississippi and helped to found the National Association of Colored Women in 1896 and the Negro Fellowship League. She worked with the white Republicans who started the National Association for the Advancement for Colored People on February 12, 1909.

Rising up from slavery and illiteracy, Booker T. Washington became the foremost educator and leader of African Americans at the turn of the century. Born into slavery, Washington was the most prominent spokesperson for African Americans after the death of Frederick Douglass. After graduation from the Hampton Institute in 1875, he first taught in West Virginia and then studied at the Wayland Seminary before returning to teach at Hampton.

In 1959 President Dwight D. Eisenhower asked William T. Coleman, a longtime Republican, to serve on the President's Commission on Employment Policy, which dealt with increasing minority hiring in the government. In addition to service as secretary of transportation in the Ford Administration, Coleman held a number of other public service and national community positions.

Jennette B. Bradley served as Ohio Governor Bob Taft's running mate and made history when she became the first African-American female Lieutenant Governor in the nation. She was elected to office in November 2002 and served until 2005 as Lt. Governor and Director of the Ohio Department of Commerce. Gov. Taft, subsequently, appointed her to become Ohio's 45th Treasurer of State which she served until the end of 2006.


Former Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell has a distinguished record of achievement as an educator, diplomat and finance executive. He is the state’s constitutional officer chiefly responsible for elections, the management of business records, and the protection of intellectual property and corporate identities.

Blackwell’s public service includes terms as mayor of Cincinnati, an undersecretary at the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Commission. In 1994, he became the first African American elected to a statewide executive office in Ohio when he was elected treasurer of state. Blackwell has twice received the U.S. Department of State’s Superior Honor Award from the administrations of Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton for his work in the field of human rights.

Jennifer Carroll is Florida’s 18th Lieutenant Governor. Upon her election in 2010, she became the first African American woman ever elected to this position in Florida. She was a state legislator for over seven years, a small business owner, former Executive Director of Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs and a Navy veteran.

I am old enough to remember when the Republican Party had liberals. I voted for Jacob Javits in NY for Senator. Ike was a social liberal.

But my question is, why do you defend today's GOP? And if conservatives are REALLY against racism and discrimination, WHY do conservatives vehemently support racists like Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio and draconian racial profiling laws like Arizona SB 1070???

When people like Coulter try to revise the history of the civil rights movement, they talk about 'Democrats', but they never reveal that the Dixiecrats who opposed the civil rights movement were staunch conservatives. Or that the Republican Party had liberal Senators like Jacob Javits.

Were there conservatives who had the moral courage and decency to support John F. Kennedy's Civil Rights Bill in 1964?...Yes...great Republicans like Everett Dirksen who were integral in passing that legislation deserve credit. But not Coulter's bullshit 'Republicans battling Democrats to guarantee the constitutional rights of black people'

"In all those things which deal with people, be liberal, be human. In all those things which deal with people's money, or their economy, or their form of government, be conservative."
President Dwight D. Eisenhower

Arpaio is racist for wanting to uphold our immigration laws?


My question to you is, if we are a nation of laws, why not enforce all of them to the best of our ability?

I suggest you read a history book about the civil rights act of 1964.

June 10, 1964, was a dramatic day in the United States Senate. For the first time in its history, cloture was invoked on a civil rights bill, ending a record-breaking filibuster by Democrats that had consumed fifty-seven working days. The hero of the hour was minority leader Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen (R-Ill.).

You talk about "dixiecrats" there was no "dixiecrat" party.

You just don't want to recognize those people as belonging to the democratic party becasue it doesn't serve your interest.

I read everything you wrote as it pertained to our discussion. I do not follow everyones discussion.

Those conservsative southerners you call Dixiecrats were DEMOCRATS and remained so.

There is conservatism and liberalism to some degree in both parties.

And Ann Coulter was right as my link illustrated that Republicans and Democrats were battling. The Democrats were against the civil rights act and the Republicans were for it.
 
And...southern, Conservative Democrats became what? Where are they now?

Democrats spent the first century of this country's existence refusing to treat black people like human beings, and the second refusing to treat them like adults.

After fighting the Civil War to continue enslaving black people and then subjecting newly freed black Americans to vicious, humiliating Jim Crow laws and Ku Klux Klan violence, Democrats set about frantically rewriting their own ugly history.

Step 1: Switch "Democrat" to "Southerner";

Step 2: Switch "Southerner" to "conservative Democrat";

Step 3: Switch "conservative Democrat" to "conservative."

Contrary to liberal folklore, the Democratic segregationists were not all Southern -- and they were certainly not conservative. They were dyed-in-the-wool liberal Democrats on all the litmus-test issues of their day.

All but one remained liberal Democrats until the day they died. That's the only one you've ever heard of: Strom Thurmond.

As soon as abortion is relegated to the same trash heap of history as slavery has been, liberals will be rewriting history to make Democrats the pro-lifers and Republicans the pro-choicers. That's precisely what they've done with the history of race in America.

In addition to lying in the history books, liberals lied on their personal resumes. Suddenly, every liberal remembered being beaten up by a 300-pound Southern sheriff during the civil rights movement.

Among the ones who have been caught falsely gassing about their civil rights heroism are Bob Beckel, Carl Bernstein and Joseph Ellis. (Some days, it seems as if there are more liberals pretending to have been Freedom Riders than pretending to be Cherokees!)

In the 1950s and '60s, Democrats were running segregationists for vice president, slapping Orval Faubus on the back and praising George Wallace voters for their "integrity." (That was Arthur Schlesinger Jr. in The New York Times.)


But the moment the real civil rights struggle was over, liberals decided to become black America's most self-important defenders.

Of course, once we got the Democrats to stop discriminating against blacks, there was no one else doing it. So liberals developed a rich fantasy life in which they played Atticus Finch and some poor white cop from Brooklyn would be designated Lester Maddox (racist Democrat, endorsed by Jimmy Carter).

Ann Coulter - September 26, 2012 - LIBERALS CAN’T BREAK 200-YEAR RACISM HABIT

Here is perfect evidence of the complete partisan dupe Mann Cultwhore is.



She ingores the facts of the ideals held and sticks to the labels as the important thing.


She inhabits a party that can not get 1 percent of the black vote and then claims its the democratic party that is racist because they were the racist party half a century ago.


Ignore the facts of the current day and concentrate on a long dead past that is NO LONGER applicable.
 
But my question is, why do you defend today's GOP? And if conservatives are REALLY against racism and discrimination, WHY do conservatives vehemently support racists like Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio and draconian racial profiling laws like Arizona SB 1070???

I don't feel like dealing with your whole post, but I did have to ask you 2 questions about this portion of it.

1. What EXACTLY makes you believe that Arpaio is a racist?

2. What part of SB1070 allows racial profiling?

Please be specific...
 
Democrats spent the first century of this country's existence refusing to treat black people like human beings, and the second refusing to treat them like adults.

After fighting the Civil War to continue enslaving black people and then subjecting newly freed black Americans to vicious, humiliating Jim Crow laws and Ku Klux Klan violence, Democrats set about frantically rewriting their own ugly history.
