MORON, you are to stupid for words. You may want to go back and review just who voted for and passed the Civil Rights legislation. It was not the Democrats, they voted against it in droves.
After civil rights legislation passed, conservatives bolted from the Democratic Party and swelled the rank of the Republican party becoming the Confederate Republican Party we know today. Since that legislation was passed, only three blacks have been elected to congress from the Republican party while more than 90 from the Democrats. What you are talking about is Conservative vs Liberal, NOT Democrat vs Republican.
In the US House in the original house version only 20% (138-34) of the Republicans voted against the legislation while 39% (96 of 152) voted against it amongst the Democrats. Almost exactly 3 times as many Democrats as Republicans voted against it.
In the original US Senate version amongst the republicans 18% voted against it (27-6) and amongst the Dems 31% (46-21) voted against it. Three-and-a-half times as many Dems as Reps voted against it.
Who besides Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms "bolted" to the Republican Party? It does appear that those two were conservatives, and they left for a more conservative party; who were the others?
Why do you think the Republican party of today is 90% white and only three blacks have been elected to congress from the Republican Party since the 60s while more than 90 black Democrats have been elected.
Oh, so the Tea Party is going to have some black people working for them, helping them try to force the government out of any involvement in anything that might help the economically disadvantaged in this country,
a disproportionate number of whom happen to be black.
That is elegantly repugnant.

Since when has the government EVER been successful in doing anything but making people MORE economically disadvanted?
Look at Obama's economy right now? You think people want a pittance from the government or a JOB???
So stuff that racist "uncle tom" bit about any black that doesn't live on the liberal plantation being a "race traitor."
The only thing racist is liberals assuming all blacks prefer a handout from "liberal white or black massa" instead of a freaking job.
Not everyone drinks the racist plantation koolaid of the liberals.
Black conservative tea party backers take heat

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - They've been called Oreos, traitors and Uncle Toms, and are used to having to defend their values. Now black conservatives are really taking heat for their involvement in the mostly white tea party movementand for having the audacity to oppose the policies of the nation's first black president.
"I've been told I hate myself. I've been called an Uncle Tom. I've been told I'm a spook at the door," said Timothy F. Johnson, chairman of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, a group of black conservatives who support free market principles and limited government.
"Black Republicans find themselves always having to prove who they are. Because the assumption is the Republican Party is for whites and the Democratic Party is for blacks," he said.
Johnson and other black conservatives say they were drawn to the tea party movement because of what they consider its commonsense fiscal values of controlled spending, less taxes and smaller government. The fact that they're blackor that most tea partyers are whiteshould have nothing to do with it, they say.
"You have to be honest and true to yourself. What am I supposed to do, vote Democratic just to be popular? Just to fit in?" asked Clifton Bazar, a 45-year-old New Jersey freelance photographer and conservative blogger.
Opponents have branded the tea party as a group of racists hiding behind economic concernsand reports that some tea partyers were lobbing racist slurs at black congressmen during last month's heated health care vote give them ammunition.
But these black conservatives don't consider racism representative of the movement as a wholeor race a reason to support it.
Angela McGlowan, a black congressional candidate from Mississippi, said her tea party involvement is "not about a black or white issue."
"It's not even about Republican or Democrat, from my standpoint," she told The Associated Press. "All of us are taxed too much."...
Oh, so the Tea Party is going to have some black people working for them, helping them try to force the government out of any involvement in anything that might help the economically disadvantaged in this country,

What is utterly repugnant is people like you who aid in keeping blacks and other disadvantaged individuals trapped in government slavery instead of encouraging them to get out and make something of themselves.

So fuck all y'all *******. Fuck you John Lewis, you goddamned worthless, communist ******.
It is repugnant that the KKK was created as the de facto terrorist wing of the Democrat Party; and there's nothing "elegant" about that.Oh, so the Tea Party is going to have some black people working for them, helping them try to force the government out of any involvement in anything that might help the economically disadvantaged in this country,

A Short History of Reconstruction, (Harper & Row Publishers, Inc., 1990) by Dr. Eric Foner, the renown liberal historian who is the DeWitt Clinton Professor of History at Columbia University. As a further testament to his impeccable credentials, Professor Foner is only the second person to serve as president of the three major professional organizations: the Organization of American Historians, American Historical Association, and Society of American Historians.
Democrats in the last century did not hide their connections to the Ku Klux Klan. Georgia-born Democrat Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan wrote on page 21 of the September 1928 edition of the Klans The Kourier Magazine: I have never voted for any man who was not a regular Democrat. My father never voted for any man who was not a Democrat. My grandfather was the head of the Ku Klux Klan in reconstruction days . My great-grandfather was a life-long Democrat . My great-great-grandfather was one of the founders of the Democratic party.
Dr. Foner in his book explores the history of the origins of Ku Klux Klan and provides a chilling account of the atrocities committed by Democrats against Republicans, black and white.
On page 146 of his book, Professor Foner wrote: Founded in 1866 as a Tennessee social club, the Ku Klux Klan spread into nearly every Southern state, launching a reign of terror against Republican leaders black and white. Page 184 of his book contains the definitive statements: In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic party, the planter class, and all those who desired the restoration of white supremacy. It aimed to destroy the Republican partys infrastructure, undermine the Reconstruction state, reestablish control of the black labor force, and restore racial subordination in every aspect of Southern life.
This would happen today? MLK's father was a republican....think he would be one now?
Get serious with your examples. Hoiw many new right wing hate groups popped up in the last two years?
seriously, just stop with that kkk dem crap. You and I both know that would not be the way it is now.
That bullshit lie that "conservatives" changed parties after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ignores what party in the Senate had to PASS the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and that was the Republicans.
Colin Powel was put in by a Republican.
Our first black Secretary of state (Condi Rice) was put in by a Republican.
Clarence Thomas was put in by a Republican.

It's the Democrats that push education programs so people are qualified to get a job. It's Republicans who sent those jobs overseas. They were voted out of office from incompetency and ruining the economy.
In the US House in the original house version only 20% (138-34) of the Republicans voted against the legislation while 39% (96 of 152) voted against it amongst the Democrats. Almost exactly 3 times as many Democrats as Republicans voted against it.

What? Nearly the entire population of conservatives. Why do you think the Republican party of today is 90% white and only three blacks have been elected to congress from the Republican Party since the 60s while more than 90 black Democrats have been elected.
You can't seriously say that a party that is 90% white and whose elected officials nationwide are more than 96% white is a "leader" in civil rights. Surely you can see that's laughable?
Why do you think the Republican party of today is 90% white and only three blacks have been elected to congress from the Republican Party since the 60s while more than 90 black Democrats have been elected.
The welfare nanny state.
It's that kind of dialog that keeps blacks away from the Republican party.
They'll make fine conservatives. They've got the victimology part down pat already.
btw, according to Gallup, the tea partiers are 79% non-hispanic white and 6% black.

That's a lie told over and over by Democrats, but it is still a BIG FREAKING LIE.
Connolly didn't change parties. He remained Democrat.
Bryd didn't change parties. He is STILL in the Senate and is STILL A DEMOCRAT.
Al Gore Senior didn't change parties. He was a Democrat until he died.
Wallace didn't change parties. He remained Democrat.
That bullshit lie that "conservatives" changed parties after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ignores what party in the Senate had to PASS the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and that was the Republicans.
As for who put more blacks into power.

Our first black Secretary of state (Condi Rice) was put in by a Republican.
Clarence Thomas was put in by a Republican.
First Hispanic DOJ was put in by a Republican.
First Woman USSC member was put in by a Republican.
I have heard that lie about "conservatives all became Republicans" for years.
Having lived through those years, I know it is a lie. It works on those who were born AFTER the Civil Rights years, but it doesn't work on those who actually remember those times.
This is why liberals don't want real history taught in public schools. They can't lie about history if real history is taught in schools.
I wonder if they know they're in a movement where the following is the mainstream...
Yes, Bill Ves, calling from (inaudible) I ain't gonna get no health insurance, tell that son of a bitch that, I ain't getting the damned health insurance.

That's just historically inaccurate. It was based by a bipartisan coalition of senators from outside the South. And in any region of the country, Republican senators were more likely to vote against.
Colin Powel was put in by a Republican.
Our first black Secretary of state (Condi Rice) was put in by a Republican.
Powell was Secretary of State before Rice, genius.
Clarence Thomas was put in by a Republican.
Replacing Thurgood Marshall, who was appointed by LBJ.
Invoking his slain predecessor, Lyndon Johnson made passage of the bill his top priority, and in his first speech to Congress he urged Representatives and Senators to do "more for civil rights than the last hundred sessions combined". Though he shared Johnson's convictions on safeguarding the constitutional rights of blacks, if Nixon had been in the White House then instead, Democrats in favor of segregation and those unwilling to see a Republican achieve the victory would have blocked his legislative initiative in Congress.
The 1964 Civil Rights Act was an update of Republican Senator Charles Sumner's 1875 Civil Rights Act. In striking down that law in 1883, the Supreme Court had ruled that the 14th amendment was not sufficient constitutional authorization, so the 1964 version had to be written in such a way as to rely instead on the interstate commerce clause for its constitutional underpinning.
Mindful of how Democrat opposition had forced the Republicans to weaken their 1957 and 1960 Civil Rights Acts, President Johnson warned Democrats in Congress that this time it was all or nothing. To ensure support from Republicans, he had to promise them that he would not accept any weakening of the bill and also that he would publicly credit our Party for its role in securing congressional approval. Johnson played no direct role in the legislative fight, so that it would not be perceived as a partisan struggle. There was no doubt that the House of Representatives would pass the bill.
In the Senate, Minority Leader Everett Dirksen had little trouble rounding up the votes of most Republicans, and former presidential candidate Richard Nixon also lobbied hard for the bill. Senate Majority Leader Michael Mansfield and Senator Hubert Humphrey led the Democrat drive for passage, while the chief opponents were Democrat Senators Sam Ervin, of later Watergate fame, Albert Gore Sr., and Robert Byrd. Senator Byrd, a former Klansman whom Democrats still call "the conscience of the Senate", filibustered against the civil rights bill for fourteen straight hours before the final vote. The House of Representatives passed the bill by 289 to 126, a vote in which 79% of Republicans and 63% of Democrats voted yes. The Senate vote was 73 to 27, with 21 Democrats and only 6 Republicans voting no. President Johnson signed the new Civil Rights Act into law on July 2, 1964.
