It begins: White man throws black family out of segregated restaurant in NYC

Of course you do, because democrats have no regard for life or freedom.
No if you are vaxed and you get sick come on in.

It's like smokers. Republicans have always argued that smokers should pay more for insurance. So should the unvaxed.

Republicans wanted to deny people coverage for pre existing conditions. What's the difference? Ok, don't deny them access to the hospital, just charge them the $1 million they are going to cost us being on a ventilator for a month.

And you are ok with employers firing smokers right? Well so why the different stance on firing unvaxed idiots who put the other employees at risk?
 
Neither did, especially nixon.
"Richard Nixon is credited for having a strong record on foreign policy, but his record on domestic policy — especially on Civil Rights at home is often overlooked. During his years as vice president under Dwight Eisenhower, he sought to ensure minorities — especially African Americans — weren’t discriminated against in federal contracts. He also worked with Congress to spearhead the Civil Rights Act of 1957, sweeping legislation and a precursor to the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965.

When he reached the presidency, Nixon sought to expand economic opportunities for African Americans by ending discrimination in the work place, through the endowment of black colleges with federal funds, and helping them find meaningful employment through job assistance programs, and promotion of entrepreneurship — an initiative called “Black Capitalism.”

In 1970, perhaps the hall mark of the Nixon administration’s Civil Rights policies, Nixon sought to end the decades old and egregious tradition of segregated schools for black and white children throughout the nation, predominantly in the Southern states."

That from his foundation greatly inflates his actions on discrimination.
 
Now you're just denying history you don't like.
No, just an accurate reading of his efforts on discrimination. He was neither a segregationist nor a conservative on the race question. He followed for political reasons policies of anti-discrimination, but never led.

Desegregation and civil rights[edit]​

Dean J. Kotlowski states that:

recent scholars have concluded that the president was neither a segregationist nor a conservative on the race question. These writers have shown that Nixon desegregated more schools than previous presidents, approved a strengthened Voting Rights Act, developed policies to aid minority businesses, and supported affirmative action.[88]
The Nixon years witnessed the first large-scale efforts to desegregate the nation's public schools.[89] Seeking to avoid alienating Southern whites, whom Nixon hoped would form part of a durable Republican coalition, the president adopted a "low profile" on school desegregation. He pursued this policy by allowing the courts to receive the criticism for desegregation orders, which Nixon's Justice Department would then enforce.[90] By September 1970, less than ten percent of black children were attending segregated schools.[91] After the Supreme Court's handed down its decision in the 1971 case of Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, cross-district school busing emerged as a major issue in both the North and the South. Swann permitted lower federal courts to mandate busing in order to remedy racial imbalance in schools. Though he enforced the court orders, Nixon believed that "forced integration of housing or education" was just as improper as legal segregation, and he took a strong public stance against its continuation. The issue of cross-district busing faded from the fore of national politics after the Supreme Court placed limits on the use of cross-district busing with its decision in the 1974 case of Milliken v. Bradley.[92]

Nixon established the Office of Minority Business Enterprise to promote the encourage the establishment of minority-owned businesses.[93] The administration also worked to increase the number of racial minorities hired across the nation in various construction trades, implementing the first affirmative action plan in the United States. The Philadelphia Plan required government contractors in Philadelphia to hire a minimum number of minority workers.[94] In 1970, Nixon extended the Philadelphia Plan to encompass all federal contracts worth more than $50,000, and in 1971 he expanded the plan to encompass women as well as racial minorities.[95] Nixon and Attorney General Mitchell also helped enact an extension of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that expanded federal supervision of voting rights to all jurisdictions in which less than 50 percent of the minority population was registered to vote.[96]
 
yes, as I stated, without the Republicans the democrats never ever would of passed the civil rights acts of any year.

Too many Democrats were simply, members of the KKK, like Robert Byrd of West Virginia. Others may not of been members but that was simply for political reasons.

As we can see, the Democrat senate did not have enough votes to pass the bill. Not in the House nor the Senate.
Thank you Republicans, who showed America that Democrats were definately the party of racists.
The Senate version:[30]


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

The Senate version, voted on by the House:[30]


  • Democratic Party: 153–91 (63–37%)
  • Republican Party: 136–35 (80–20%)
By that measure, it also wouldn't have passed without Democrats' support. It passed with bipartisan support.

You say that every time rather than reply with something thoughtful. Who gives a fuck? Straw man, tin man, lying.
There can be no rational discourse without a basic set of mutually understood and adhered logical rules. With your incessant reliance on straw men, all you end up doing is arguing with yourself. It's pointless, stupid, and illogical.

There can be no rational discourse with a person who says what you said. "democrats have no regard for life or freedom." Is that a strawman? What's it called when someone says something stupid like this?

To argue with a fool like you is also pointless, stupid and illogical.
