Dr Martin Luther King saved this country

[rightwinger]

Finally to the OP. MLK did not save this country. He merely accelerated what would have happened naturally and peacefully. History will judge whether that was good or bad.

It was not happening naturally. The 13 th amendment was 100 years before

As to "peacefully"
Peaceful black protest and rudimentary attempts at integration were met with terrorist attacks

Integration was not good?

The only hold outs were your party

There were Republicans in the south who also supported Jim Crow
Democrats from the north who were freedom riders

It was a north/south issue

No there wasn't. Republicans freed the slaves and democrats have spent the next 200 plus years putting them back in ghetto slave pens.

Yet, Republicans cannot point to a single piece of legislation in the last 50 years where they helped blacks or any other minority

Really? They emancipated them and They are the only reason the civil rights law was passed. Perhaps you should actually read history instead of making shit up.

Civil Rights was a product of northern Democrats and a Democratic president

So mass genocide by abortion and poverty is your idea of helping Americans? Cause they are Americans not just a color.

Abortion is the law of the land.....has nothing to do with Dr Martin Luther King

Roe v Wade was after he had been killed.......conservative court

But the only things you democrats have done for anyone is baby killing and poverty... still the party of slavery and racism.

rightwinger is right. The separation was north/south, not Republican/Democrat. Of the 12 Republicans in Congress in the south, not one voted for the Civil Rights Act...

... whereas more Democrats in the north voted in favor of it than did Republicans.

And percentage-wise when broken down by north/south, a larger percentage of northern Democrats (95%) voted for it than did northern Republicans (85%); just like in the south where a larger percentage of southern Democrats (8%) voted for it than did southern Republicans (0%).

Wasn’t the national average cut by more than 50% during the same period?
I thought someone here wanted something done exclusively for Blacks and minorities...no?

No, it dropped 39% for blacks under Obama AND 39% for whites. What someone here wanted is irrelevant.

NEGATIVE...the overall unemployment rate dropped by 39% under Onegro...you're moving the goalposts now...you asked specifically for legislation that was intended to benefit blacks and minorities exclusively. That's exactly what you meant anyway.

Civil Rights was a product of northern Democrats and a Democratic president

Which one? The first one, the Civil Rights Act of 1957 was signed by Dwight Eisenhower (Republican) after it was proposed by Herbert Brownnell (Republican). The Act marked the first occasion since Reconstruction that the federal government undertook significant legislative action to protect civil rights.

The second one, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was written by Senators Hubert Humphrey (D-MN) and Everett Dirksen (R-IL), and Representatives Emanuel Celler (D-NY), and William McCulloch (R-OH) and signed by Lyndon Johnson (Democrat). It would not have passed without 80% support of the Republicans in Congress.

Your attempt to re-write history to favor the Democrats fails.

Would not have passed without Democrats

Both Republicans and Democrats in the south voted against it
Teddy Roosevelt on Conservatives vs. Liberals
However, without the strong support and politicking of LBJ, it would have died in committee.

The 1964 presidential nominee for Republicans voted against it
