Sure it was, except for the fact the the Democrats held the majority of both houses in Congress. They even had a super majority in the Senate.
So you've posted another lie.
It's what you do.
You can also get 15% off car insurance if you switch to Gieco too.
Any who read this exchange will recognize which of us is the liar.
They might notice you couldn't answer whether you read the book you disparaged, or that you were afraid to challenge my statement that Bill 'the rapist' Clinton was a racist, or that Democrats blocked every anti-lynching bill in the Senate.
I accept your concession posting that lie about the civil rights acts in which the coalition of Northern Democrats and Northern Republicans defeated the Southern coalition.
The House version of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was supported by only 61 percent of that Chamber's Democrats versus 80 percent of the Republicans. More importantly, it was Republicans that ended a Democrat filibuster preventing a vote on this bill in the Senate.Oct 8, 2011

Caught you lying again,huh?
Again, you are wrong. The Civil Rights Act was passed by Northern Democrats and Republicans. All Southern Republicans, in both the House and the Senate, opposed the bill. While a higher percentage of Democrats voted against the bill than for it, that's because there were 94 Southern Democrats in the House, versus 10 Southern Republicans, and 21 South Democrats in the Senate, versus 1 Southern Republican.
100% of Southern Republicans in both the House and Senate, voted against the legislation. Over 95% of Northern Democrats voted for the Civil Rights Act, versus 85% of Northern Republicans. The total percentages are skewed by the numbers of Southern Democrats. 7 Southern Democrats in the House voted in favour of the CRA, and 1 Southern Democrat Senator voted for it.
Southern Democrats were so angry with the Democratic Party for failing to protect segregation, that they've voted Republican ever since, so don't delude yourself that the Democrats are still the party of racism. Republicans embraced the racists, and they've been a stalwart part of the Republican Party ever since.
Figures new lie, but liars often figure.
Since the Civil Rights
You should know by now that I'm never wrong.
Democrats have always been the segregationists, the slavers, the party of second class citizenship.
Bill Clinton has an unbroken record of ant-black sentiment.
And the Republicans made the Civil Right Bill of 1964 happen.
Watch:
80% of Republicans in the
Houseand
Senatevoted for the bill. Less than 70% of Democrats did. Indeed, Minority Leader Republican
Everett Dirksenled the fight to end the filibuster. Meanwhile, Democrats such as
Richard Russellof Georgia and
Strom Thurmondof South Carolina tried as hard as they could to sustain a filibuster.
House Democrats 153 of 244 (63%)
House Republicans 136 of 171 (80%)
Senate Democrats 46 of 67 (69%)
Senate Republicans 27 of 33 (82%)

Do you know what a filibuster is?
Know why the Democrats tried to sustain one?
More Republicans voted in favor of the Civil Rights Act than Democrats
In the 1960s, Congress was divided on civil rights issues -- but not necessarily along party lines. "Most people don't realize that today at all --
in proportional terms, a far higher percentage of Republicans voted for this bill than did Democrats, because of the way the Southerners were divided," said Purdum.
