Funny how much you can learn by studying a bit of history

IF it does, it will be the result of half the nation bending over backwards to change and amend their racist ways only to have the modern Left get in their faces and tell them it isn't enough. Those who expect them to forever keep bending the knee and agree that nothing they do will ever be enough, are just self-deluded. That pendulum will swing back.

It was not enough because it takes more than the bare minimum to fix the damage. The pendulum will not swing back. Whites will be a minority in a few years and if you think you can continue pretending that you changed and amended when you didn't, you are going to be in for a very rude awakening.

Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act of '64.

No they did not. More democrats voted for it than republicans. Then republicans nominated a guy who opposed the Civil Rights Act for president..

He only had one?

Does he seem particularly well educated to you? He never struck me that way.

If not for the Republican minority, the bill would not have passed.

Learn some history.

If you mean I reject the left's skewed and outright false history, I agree.

You don't know anything well. You prove it with every keystroke.

This is what it looks like when the left rewrites history.

 

[daveman]

When did the GOP become the party of racists?

When Republicans realized they could gain control of Congress and most of the South by welcoming rightwing racists fleeing the Democratic Party after the Democratic Party championed civil rights and defending citizens’ rights and protected liberties.

There's some of that skewed and outright false leftist history.

I know this well and the fact is that your argument is disingenuous.

Their version is quite cartoonish, I must say.

 

[daveman]

That's not what republicans want.

I want you to think for yourself.

You reject that idea.

 

[daveman]

Todays republican party opposes anything that resembles civil rights.

See that? That's some of that not-thinking-for-yourself stuff I was talking about.

There's some of that skewed and outright false leftist history.

It's true history. It's proven by the fact that the south was solidly democrat back then. Now it is solidly republican.

You're never going to get reparations.

You're clueless. Resume your fat and happy life.

I have no obligation to endorse your vacuous opinions. Stop stamping your feet and pouting.

 

[IM2]

I want you to think for yourself.

You reject that idea.

I think for myself all the time.

You need to try it instead of repeating that silly right wing bullshit.

The GOP treats everyone equally.

You want special treatment.

No.
