Disingenuous Republicans forget American political history

[IM2]

This is not a republican. And republicans had presidents before this one. But they did nothing.

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

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.

That's a load of racist garbage.

Do you think he did that to benefit black people, or to benefit the Democratic Party?

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.

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.”

On This Day: Record 83-day Senate filibuster against U.S. Civil Rights Act ends

The legislation, which would go on to be signed into law 13 days later, sought to ban all forms of discrimination and end racial segregation following huge protests.

Look dumb ass, voting rights came to a vote last fall and one republican voted for it. So just stop lying to yourself.

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

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.

Since you brought geography into it, it was the North that pushed the 3/5 vote. They didn’t want Negros voting in the South.

The south was not going to let slaves vote. The question was population. Geography was bought up because you guys are trying to make a disingenuous argument. Jim Crow was nationwide, but the reality of this matter is that more democrats voted for civil rights than did republicans and that southern democrats who got mad about this defected to the republican party who accepted them.

Strom Thurmond is the one Democrat who switched. Robert Byrd, Al Gore Senior, William Fulbright and a host of other southern segregationalists stayed Democrat because Johnson sold them on his 200 year plan.
