Where did you learn history you ******* moron? A majority of the Democratic Party voted to pass the Civil Rights Act of 64' and the Voting Rights Act of 65' and of course they were both signed into law by Democratic President Lyndon Johnson. The Republican Party voted to pass both pieces of legislation by a greater majority but to argue that the Democratic Party mostly opposed them is factually wrong. The only demographic that could be accurately described as adamantly against ending segregation and ensuring voting rights for Black Americans were southern white Conservatives. Over 90% of representatives from the South and from former Confederate states voted against both bills. That included both southern Democrats and southern Republicans. In fact the only two representatives from southern states who voted in favor of both the Civil Right Act and Voting Rights Act belonged to the Democratic Party. Looking back through history, southern white conservatives opposed equality for Blacks at every turn. They instigated a civil war to preserve white supremacy and voted as a majority just 58 years ago to deny Black Americans equal rights, and while the Democratic Party may have been the Party of white southern conservatism in the 1800s - early 1900s, it's laughable to argue the same today. There is a reason why Black Americans vote over 90% for the Democratic party, why the Republican Party is so overwhelmingly white, and why they defend vigorously the statues of old dead Democrats who were slavers while demonizing the Democrats of today. Only a complete moron couldn't put those pieces together and arrive at the undeniable truth.
