Kkkers that dude hangs withthey own the kkk? did you forget that? mayor of Chiraq?Example?I would argue most Democrats are bigots.
They also own the Civil Rights Act of 64 and voting rights act of 65. After those were passed by Democrats, the support for Democrats by the Racist KKK sort of dried up. After 50 year and more, I think the KKK type Support Donnie "I done more for Black folk than Abe Linclon" Trumpybear.
They most certainly do not "own" the Civil Rights Act or the Voting Rights Act, nor were they "passed by Democrats". I will never understand how or why you leftists think that because you jump on the bandwagon of basic humanity 100 years after everyone else, you now get to claim you've been the driver all along.
Let's review.
The main reason the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act were needed was Jim Crow, legally-imposed segregation and discrimination in the Southern states. Refresh my memory, which political party controlled those states? That's right, the only way the Democrats "own" those two acts is by instituting the evil they were needed to fight.
The Democrats held the majority in both the House and the Senate. When the bill that became the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed in the House, it received 78% of the Republican votes . . . and only 60% of the Democrat votes.
When the bill moved to the Senate, it passed with 82% of the Republican votes . . . and 69% of the Democrat.
The Senate version was sent back to the House and received 76% of the Republican vote . . . and 60% of the Democrat.
I think it's pretty obvious to anyone who knows history - and arithmetic - that far from being the champions of civil rights, Democrats had to be dragged to them kicking and screaming. So **** off with your attempts to appropriate history for yourself.
You answered your own question.
"The Democrats held the majority in both the House and the Senate." They also held the Presidency. Furthermore students of history know it was a North South issue again with the North winning again as well.
The House of Representatives:
The Senate:[26]
- Northern: 281–32 (90–10%)
- Southern: 8–94 (8–92%)
- Southern Democrats: 8–87 (7–93%) (four Representatives from Texas, two from Tennessee, Claude Pepper of Florida and Charles L. Weltner of Georgia voted in favor)
- Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)
- Northern Democrats: 145–9 (94–6%)
- Northern Republicans: 138–24
- Northern: 72–6 (92–8%)
- Southern: 1–21 (5–95%) (Ralph Yarborough of Texaswas the only southerner to vote in favor in the Senate)
- Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5–95%) (only Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
- Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0–100%) (John Tower of Texas)
- Northern Democrats: 45–1 (98–2%) (only Robert Byrd of West Virginia voted against)
- Northern Republicans: 27–5 (84–16%
I didn't ask a question, shitforbrains. I made a statement: Democrats don't own something they fought against for over a hundred years and had to have forced on them in the end simply because they had a numerical majority even after over a third of their party STILL refused to accept it.
Democrats are not the party of civil rights. They never have been, and at the rate they're going, they never will be. They always have been and always will be the party of treating minorities like property and tools to be used for their own benefit.
No matter how much glitter you dump on a pile of shit, it's still a pile of shit.
Sure you did. The Democrats turned on their former stronghold states and they became the party of Civil Rights. It's not glitter, it history no matter how much you Banana Republicans want to shit on it!
No, their former stronghold states turned on them, and they had to try to mask their racism and naked grasping for power as "civil rights". It's bullshit euphemisms, which you would know if you weren't a leftist robot, programmed to chant the party line without a single original thought.
Keep on thrashing for a way to feel good about supporting racists and liars. Your attempt to find the right buzzwords to pretend you're a good person is funny.
