You've heard no apologetics from me in this thread. What I've taught you about in this thread is the truthful American history. Period.
lol nonsense, all you've posted is the usual selective cherry picking and astroturfing spin, trying to play up the GOP as some sort of moral paragon of racial justice.
The same goes for the muppets babbling the usual 'demonize the South' gibberish with selective 'factoids'. Here's a little factoid from the civil rights era and the Nixon administration: While Nixon was supporting 'school desegregation' in the South, successfully so, reducing the proportion of black children in the South attending all black schools plunged from 68% in 1968 to 8% in 1972. By the end of Nixon's first term, the southern school systems led the nation in racial desegregation. By 1974, the share of black children attending schools that were 95% or more black had declined in the South to 20%, but had
risen to 50% in the northern and western states.
So, what we have historically is the Northern states lagging behind the South on civil rights, not the other way around. Ironic, eh? Such are the pitfalls of getting your 'history' from such 'scholars' as Ann Coulter or Daily Kos and the like. Naturally northerners and DNC hired astroturfers don't feel compelled to tell the entire history of any of their 'talking points', any more than the GOP does.
Nixon also revived the moribund 'Philadelphia Plan', rejected by both Johnson and most democrats because it violated the express prohibition of Title VII, section 703(j) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibited preferential treatment on account of race, ethnicity, sex, etc., and forced a quota system on institutions both private and public all across the board. Thanks yet again to Republican appointees on the Supreme Court, and intense lobbying by both Nixon and other Republicans.
