Disingenuous Republicans forget American political history

President Johnson's March 15, 1965 Voting Rights Speech to Congress

Johnson was thanked by riots and violence not seen in s hole cities. He couldn't believe what happened.

On July 28, 1967, President Lyndon Johnson established the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders. The more common name for this commission is The Kerner Commission. This commission was tasked to answer three basic questions pertaining to the racial unrest in American cities: What happened? Why did it happen? What can be done to prevent it from happening again?

As a result of this study the commission identified 12 `grievances common in the communities they visited: “1. Police practices 2. Unemployment and underemployment 3. Inadequate housing. 4. Inadequate education 5. Poor recreation facilities and programs 6. Ineffectiveness of the political structure and grievance mechanisms. 7. Disrespectful white attitudes 8. Discriminatory administration of justice 9. Inadequacy of federal programs 10. Inadequacy of municipal services 11. Discriminatory consumer and credit practices 12. Inadequate welfare programs. “

You would be hard pressed to say these grievances do not still exist. The Kerner Commission was tasked to find out why the racial unrest happened. Instead of blaming blacks for being angry about the way they were treated, instead of inventing terms like victim mentality, the commission took a long hard look at American societal issues. The bottom line is that the Kerner Commission determined in 1968 what blacks already knew and what whites refused to hear. This quote from Nathaniel Jones, Assistant General Counsel for the Commission says it all, “One of the conclusions of the Kerner Report was that white racism was at work, was the cause of the upsets and the uprisings that we had. In fact, the report stated that white society created it, perpetuates it, and sustains it.”

All part of his 200 year plan. Celebrate!

Neat twist, your way of saying material is in short supply. You ever tire of embracing a victim role OP?

What I tired of are dumb ass whites repeating rush limbaugh bullshit. So you consider the use of the word victimhood the next time you or another inbred starts crying about anti white racism.

Need a tissue? I don't listen to Limbaugh, but bet your basement dwelling bedroom he's far and away wiser, smarter and honest than you.

ILMAO @ white racism. You fuckers even actively support racism against blacks.

No, things didn't happen that way and my party didn't do anything.

What I posted was true. What's even worse is how disingenuous todays republicans are.

House passes Voting Rights bill with just one Republican vote

LOL. That legislation was nothing but posturing. SCOTUS struck down rules that were put in place 50 years earlier that were so onerous they required municipalities to get approval from the DOJ simply to move a polling location across the street. It was a joke. Nobody's voting rights were being oppressed by moving forward. It's just the typical whining and grandstanding from the professional victim class.

I assume you are referring to the Alt-right white middle-aged male--always whining that they are being victimized in some obscure manner. All one has to do to bring them out is to mention affirmative action..LOL!

As for those onerous conditions..it was a good thing..and long overdue. They made a swing at it during Reconstruction...but Johnson let it all lapse..at the behest of carpet-baggers and powerful southern interests.

Aren't you one of the guys who would still be a slave for democrat free shit if it wasn't for republicans?

Yeah - everyone should not vote. Democracy by and large does not work and grant what the nation was designed to grant - unlimited freedom.

Your last sentence is irony on steroids; it may win to be the most stupid statement on social media in the 21st Century.

It is an absolutely correct statement.


I should have added universal democracy to make it clearer. Correct is correct though...

If America was a true democracy Gay's would not be in America flag burning would not exist taking a knee would never happen and 49% of the population would not have any rights

Hate to break it to you..but your ilk are the minority...and if a true democracy existed..majority rules---I don't agree with the 49%----I would put it at about 35%--guess which 35%? ROTFLMAO!

 

[EvilEyeFleegle]

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was proposed by a Republican and a Democrat.

In the House there were 62 Democrats who voted against it and 23 Republicans.

In the Senate 17 Democrats voted against it with only 2 Republicans opposing it.

LBJ was one of the most Racist President this Country has seen.

The Racist Democrat Party was an obstacle to this legislation just like it was to the Civil Rights Act.

This thread is a LIE and another example of how the Left is ALWAYS trying to erase their RACIST past and rewrite history.

The majority of democrats and republicans voted for the bill. That's why this disingenuous turd does post the vote totals.

47 democrats voted for it in the senate. 30 republicans did.

TO PASS S. 1564, THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT OF 1965. -- Senate Vote #78 -- May 26, 1965

Senate Vote #78 in 1965, in the United States Congress.

www.govtrack.us

221 democrats voted for it in the house. 112 republicans did.
TO PASS H.R. 6400, THE 1965 VOTING RIGHTS ACT. -- House Vote #87 -- Jul 9, 1965

So as you look at the congressional record, you see that more democrats voted for the bill than republicans.

Disingenuous Republicans forget American political history.

Your dishonesty is hurting you here since Democrats had a STRONG majority in the Senate and a significant majority in the House, in the 1963-65 time frame of course their yes vote total will be higher, but YOU left out the percentage of the yes and no votes, here it is from Wikipedia:


By Party

The original House version:[25]

• Democratic Party: 152–96 (61–39%)
• Republican Party: 138–34 (80–20%)

Cloture in the Senate:[26]

• Democratic Party: 44–23 (66–34%)
• Republican Party: 27–6 (82–18%)

The Senate version:[25]

• Democratic Party: 46–21 (69–31%)
• Republican Party: 27–6 (82–18%)

The Senate version, voted on by the House:[25]

• Democratic Party: 153–91 (63–37%)
• Republican Party: 136–35 (80–20%)

======

I have known this fact for many years, but YOU didn't know......

You have been schooled!

Yeah, in the mid 1960s Congress was infested with Southern Democrats, staunchly opposed to any civil rights legislation.

Now that you fake Republicans are claiming the civil rights mantle - having taken over the racist opposition to equality before the law from Southern Democrats - do you think pointing to history makes you racist dickheads' fierce opposition to the restoration of the Voting Rights Act, after Roberts torched it, any less slimy and racist? After all, there's barely a single Republican vote to be found for that in both the House and the Senate, while Rightarded States are ramping up their disenfranchisement legislation.

You know, dickhead, it's impolite to assume everyone else is as stupid as you are, and too stupid to see through your brazen hypocrisy on top of that.

Oh my...I about choked on my beer! Thank you for the cogent appraisal---it is how many here operate..like a cat that shits on the floor--and then proudly walks away..tail held high!

[LeftofLeft]

Don't avoid the topic. Republicans did not propose voting rights to congress. .

They most certainly did. Eisenhower championed civil rights legislation in the 50s and your party shut it down.

Furthermore, LBJ was a vile racist. He saw blacks merely as a political opportunity, just as the party does today, and he was right. 50 years later you fools are still backing those people en masse even though you have little to show for it in your shithole communities.

No, things didn't happen that way and my party didn't do anything. This is why I say you republicans are disingenuous. The ideologies of both parties changed and todays republican party is not the same as it was in the 50's. The republican party of today supports the memory of the confederacy. The party of Lincoln, incidentally formed by anti slavery democrats, opposed the confederacy to the extent of waging war.

Republicans freed Blacks and Democrats created Jim Crow for Blacks. Fact.

 

[whitehall]

LBJ? The same LBJ who created the abomination of the "great society" that tore apart Black families? The LBJ who is responsible for the deaths of 50,000 Americans in South East Asia when he used a fake "crisis" to send Troops to Vietnam and then set the rules so that we could win every battle and still lose the freaking war? That LBJ?

Johnson did a lot for sure. He crippled the black community with his welfare programs that destroyed love and family in the black community and created the school to prison pipeline. In the end did harm than slavery and Jim Crow.

The black family survived centuries of slavery and generations of Jim Crow, but it has disintegrated in the wake of the liberals' expansion of the welfare state.

It seems it is you who forget history. The Democrats filibustered the Civil Rights Act the year before. The Republicans (Dirksen in particular) got it passed but Johnson got the credit.

The Parties switched sides so actually Senator Johnson fought to get it passed, er, or something.

Johnson sold fellow southerners on what was called “colored vote”. Even Robert Byrd - who referred to Blacks ax “upitty” - bought into the plan.

What has that plan yielded for Blacks?

Thank you for that archival video.... After 55 years at a minimum, Democrats have failed to heed LBJ's SOTU speech. What they've done is to create Blue Plantation cities with packed ghetto's of Black kids growing up without fathers, poor educational opportunities, destroyed the basic family unit and increased the use of narcotics and crime throughout the nation.

Sorry but it was only a few southern democrats who did the filibuster. Seems you forget that part of history. Had Johnson not proposed it to congress Dirksen would have done nothing.

~~~~~~
While the landmark act received a majority of support from both parties, a greater percentage of Republicans voted in favor of the bill. Throughout the 1950s and ’60s, Republicans were generally more unified than Democrats in support of civil rights legislation, as many southern Democrats voted in opposition.
"As the Civil Rights movement gained momentum in the 1950s and ’60s, the federal government passed a number of civil rights bills, four of which were named the Civil Rights Act".
"Of the four acts passed between 1957 and 1968, Republicans in both chambers of Congress voted in favor at a higher rate than Democrats in all but one case. Republicans often had fewer total votes in support than Democrats due to the substantial majorities Democrats held in both the House and Senate".
Influential senators like Richard Russell, Strom Thurmond (who would soon switch to the Republican Party), Al Gore Sr., Robert Byrd, William Fulbright and Sam Ervin joined together to launch a filibuster that lasted for 57 days. Russell, a Democrat from Georgia, at one point argued that the bill would lead to the destruction of the South’s “two different social orders” and result in the “amalgamation and mongrelization of our people.”

Ha ha ha,

Democrats had majority control of congress at the time, not only that Republicans voted yes at a much higher rate than the Democrats for the Civil Rights act.

The Daily Signal

Excerpt:

The House passed the bill after 70 days of public hearings and testimony in a 290-130 vote. The bill received 152 “yea” votes from Democrats, or 60 percent of their party, and 138 votes from Republicans, or 78 percent of their party.

These percentages include four vote categories—“yea,” “nay,” “present,” and “not voting.”

In the Senate, the bill faced strong and organized opposition from Southern Democrats. Influential senators like Richard Russell, Strom Thurmond (who would soon switch to the Republican Party), Robert Byrd, William Fulbright, and Sam Ervin joined together to launch a filibuster that lasted for 57 days.

Russell, a Democrat from Georgia, at one point argued that the bill would lead to the destruction of the South’s “two different social orders” and result in the “amalgamation and mongrelization of our people.”

After some changes were made to the bill and the filibuster ended, it passed the Senate with a 73-27 vote. About 82 percent of Republicans in the Senate voted for the bill, as did 69 percent of Democrats. The amended Senate bill was then sent back to the House where it passed with 76 percent support from Republicans and 60 percent support from Democrats.

You need to improve your history knowledge.

I have to laugh at this pathetic argument. It supports the OP. You wingers have made claims about how republicans supported civil rights like they were the only ones. And now we're breaking it down to percentage because we must desperately continue lying to ourselves. Majorities of both parties voted for the bill. The southern fillibuster failed. So the story about republicans supporting civil rights and democrats opposing it is a lie. That's the way it is.
