I like Barry Goldwater- but the GOP made a choice in 1964- to pick a candidate who voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act or someone who voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

The GOP chose against- as Martin Luther King Jr. noted:

“While not himself a racist,” concluded Martin Luther King Jr., “Mr. Goldwater articulates a philosophy which gives aid and comfort to the racists.” Jackie Robinson, after attending the GOP convention in 1964, helped launch Republicans for Johnson.

And of course that is exactly what 2aguy does- he articulates a philosophy which gives aid and comfort to the racists.

And King was wrong.....he supported the actual racist, Lyndon Johnson, and voted against a man who was a Civil Rights hero Berry Goldwater......Johnson voted against the anti lynching laws...and against all of the Civil Rights acts until the very end when it became obvious to him they needed black votes...

Goldwater was a Civil Rights hero the entire time...who voted for all the Civil Rights acts except for the 1964 act because it gave government the power to go after innocent people.....

This is what Goldwater objected to...and he was right.....this act was used by the democrats to increase their power....not to help blacks...

NPR Wrong on Goldwater '64, Civil Rights, Say 4 Who Were There

As for the Republican nominee's position on the Civil Rights Act, Goldwater had said he would vote for passage if Section II on public accommodations and Section VII on equal employment opportunity were removed. With his view reinforced by a detailed memorandum from Phoenix lawyer and future Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Goldwater felt these sections were unconstitutional, were unenforceable without a federal police force, and would lead to the creation of racial quotas and affirmative action.


"He was absolutely right about [the two sections of the Civil Rights Act] and they did lead to precisely what Goldwater and most conservatives were afraid of," said Tom Winter, then executive editor of Human Events, who would join Ryskind as its co-owner a year later. As for the "extremism in the defense of liberty" speech, Winter recalled watching it from a San Francisco restaurant "and cheering it because it was clearly about freedom and fighting communism. I certainly didn't think it had anything to do with race."

Urgent: Do You Back Trump or Hillary? Vote Here Now!
============
The conservative ascendency of 1964 saw the nomination of Barry Goldwater, a western libertarian who had never been strongly identified with racial issues one way or the other, but who was a principled critic of the 1964 act and its extension of federal power.

Goldwater had supported the 1957 and 1960 acts but believed that Title II and Title VII of the 1964 bill were unconstitutional, based in part on a 75-page brief from Robert Bork. But far from extending a welcoming hand to southern segregationists, he named as his running mate a New York representative, William E. Miller, who had been the co-author of Republican civil-rights legislation in the 1950s.

Blow it out your ass.....the democrats belong to an openly and proudly racist party.......every single core group is openly and proudly racist....and the entire leadership of the party is racist, including their last two Presidents........

The Republican party has no race agenda...that is why they keep losing.....the democrats use accustations of racism as a sword to attack and smear good people.......and as a shield to defend against their worst policies and behavors....

The modern Republican party celebrates the Confederacy, wants to get rid of civil rights, celebrates the murders of black children, and is openly and proudly racist. Sorry.

The only people that want to celebrate the Confederacy would be the Klan and southern racists and the Republican party isn't openly and proudly racist. The Democrats were in power in the south during the Confederacy and it took the north and its Republican party to end it..

Well lets look at that. Absolutely the Confederate States was composed essentially of Democrats- so to criticize the Democrats of that era as being racists(which they were) is to also criticize the Confederate States for being racist(which they were).

Who opposes the symbols and legacy of the Confederacy today? The opposition is driven by Democrats, with limited Republican support by more moderate Republicans(Niki Haley who changed her position only after the Charleston church shootings)- almost always bemoaned by the Conservatives here at USMB.

Who supports maintaining the symbols and legacy of the Confederacy today? That would be Republicans.

There is no argument that the Republican Party of 1860 was abolitionist- that was the main reason for the party to exist. And that the Confederacy consisted of Democrats(though there were also pro-Union Democrats in the North).

But neither the Republican Party or the Democratic Party today are the same parties they were in 1860.

Wrong....they are the exact same parties as they were back then..

Yep- that is why Democrats are all waving Confederate Flags......LOL

The Republicans have been fighting to keep the Confederate Flags flying for the last 20 years- only now- after the Charleston church shooting- have some Republicans finally moved from a position of opposing removal of Confederate Flags to supporting it.

Remember you support the Republican Party- and you think that the racists are African Americans and Latinos.

You think Martin Luther King Jr. was an idiot.

And you think minorities are stupid- and you are not.

If this was 1860- you would be wearing grey and proclaiming how African Americans deserve to be slave.

No....he was a political opportunist of the worst kind.....he voted against the anti-lynching laws......to prosecute democrats who hanged blacks from trees....and voted against all the Civil Rights acts up until they realized that blacks were going to vote no matter how many blacks the democrat party murdered....so he simply changes in order to keep his power.....he was a racist through and through ........

He voted against every single civil rights act for 20 years...........

Berry Goldwater was a Civil Rights hero...an actual hero...dumbass....he didn't change his votes simply to get the black vote...he lived it...

Barry M. Goldwater: The Most Consequential Loser in American Politics



Goldwater treated all people the same. As a private citizen, he flew mercy missions to Navaho reservations, never asking for recognition or accepting payment. He felt that “the red man seemed as much—if not more—a part of Arizona and America as any white or black person.”[20] Moreover, a few weeks after Goldwater was discharged from the Army in November 1945, Democratic Arizona Governor Sidney Preston Osborn asked him to organize the Arizona Air National Guard. One of Goldwater’s first recommendations, soon approved, was to desegregate the unit. Goldwater’s integration of the state’s Air National Guard took place more than two years before President Harry Truman integrated the U.S. armed forces.

Goldwater was an early member of the Arizona chapters of both the NAACP and the National Urban League, even making up the latter’s operating deficit when it was getting started. Later as a Senator, he desegregated the Senate cafeteria in 1953, demanding that his black legislative assistant, Kathrine Maxwell, be served along with every other Senate employee after learning she had been denied service.

In the mid-1970s, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, investigating improper operations of the intelligence community in the United States, proposed that transcripts of the FBI tapes about Martin Luther King Jr.’s alleged indiscretions be published. An outraged Goldwater declared he would not be a party to destroying King’s reputation and strode out of the committee room. A fellow Senator recalled that Goldwater’s protest “injected some common sense into the proceedings,” and the electronic surveillance transcripts were not released.[21]

That his opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was based on constitutional grounds and not political considerations was underscored in the final week of the fall campaign. Speaking in Columbia, South Carolina, Goldwater condemned segregation and declared that government must treat “all men as equal in the arena of law and civil order.”[22] He pledged if elected President to implement all provisions of the act. His forthright pro-civil rights speech was televised on 87 stations throughout the South.

Conservatives Try to Rewrite Civil Rights History (Again)

Williamson dismisses the Civil Rights Act of 1964—and Goldwater’s opposition to it—as a minor variable, something that shouldn’t discount the GOP’s history on civil rights. But the fact of the matter is that the Act was a transformative piece of legislation, and a necessary step on the long road to racial equality. It is arguably the most important piece of civil rights legislation ever passed, and Goldwater’s opposition is correctly seen as a blemish on his legacy. Indeed, it’s correctly seen as a blemish on Williamson’s own magazine, which opposed the civil-rights movement and voiced solidarity with segregationists.

Conservatives Trying to Rewrite the History of Civil Rights – Mother Jones
But conservative Republicans — those represented politically by Goldwater, and intellectually by William F. Buckley and National Review — did oppose the civil rights movement. Buckley wrote frankly about his endorsement of white supremacy: “the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas in which it does not predominate numerically.” More often conservatives argued on grounds of states’ rights, or freedom of property, or that civil rights leaders were annoying hypocrites, or that they had undermined respect for the law.

Apparently, you can't just go see a spiderman movie without the left wing pushing it's crap all over the experience......there you are, watching a film...and then you get to hear about slavery and the nations capital.......from an actress who likely votes for the political party that owned slaves and actually started a war to keep blacks as slaves......

What's With The Really Weird Racial Thing In 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'?

But one member refuses to go into the obelisk. Zendaya's character, Michelle, says she won’t go into a building built by slaves. The team's coach, who is white, says he’s pretty sure slaves didn't build the monument, but then the camera pans over to a nearby security guard, who looks at the coach and wiggles one hand in a so-so gesture than means, "Uh, maybe so, maybe not."

First, the facts: No one really knows if slaves were used to build the monument to America's first president.

---


In the movie, Zendaya's Michelle never revisits the issue, never, say, Googles the claim and says, "Huh, turns out no one really knows for sure." The claim just hangs there like a dark cloud over an otherwise jaunty fun movie.

But it does fit right in with Hollywood's desire to take American down a peg. And now, a whole new generation — who also likely won't bother to check the facts — will blurt out the claim at will.

She won't enter a building that might have been built by slaves in a time of slavery....but will likely vote for the political party that was built on slavery.....

Is that Irony?

It likely was built, in part, by slaves.

That aside, this is a movie about a teenager with spider powers. You're a grown ass man. Get over it.

Btw, it's your party that currently celebrates and defends the Democratic party as it existed under slavery.

Sorry....the racist party in this country is still the democrat party...every core group in the party and every leader in the party is a racist.....openly and proudly racist.....

The Republican party freed the slaves and fought to give them equal treatment under the Constitution......

^^^ mindless drivel.

The north fought to free the slaves from the racist Bible-thumping south; back in a time when the north was primarily Republican and the south primarily Democrat.

Today, the north is still more Liberal than the Bible-thumping south, but now the north is primarily Democrat while the south is primarily Republican.

Johnson was a racist to his core, and voted for the very last of the Civil Rights acts because Black Americans were going to be able to vote no matter what the democrats did....so he wanted to get in front of that to win those votes.....after 20 years of blocking every single Civil Rights act that the Republicans passed....

Lyndon Johnson was a civil rights hero. But also a racist.



For two decades in Congress he was a reliable member of the Southern bloc, helping to stonewall civil rights legislation.

As Caro recalls, Johnson spent the late 1940s railing against the “hordes of barbaric yellow dwarves” in East Asia. Buying into the stereotype that blacks were afraid of snakes (who isn’t afraid of snakes?) he’d drive to gas stations with one in his trunk and try to trick black attendants into opening it. Once, Caro writes, the stunt nearly ended with him being beaten with a tire iron.



Nor was it the kind of immature, frat-boy racism that Johnson eventually jettisoned. Even as president, Johnson’s interpersonal relationships with blacks were marred by his prejudice. As longtime Jet correspondent Simeon Booker wrote in his memoirShocks the Conscience, early in his presidency, Johnson once lectured Booker after he authored a critical article for Jet Magazine, telling Booker he should “thank” Johnson for all he’d done for black people.

In Flawed Giant, Johnson biographer Robert Dallek writes that Johnson explained his decision to nominate Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court rather than a less famous black judge by saying, “when I appoint a ****** to the bench, I want everybody to know he’s a ******.”

According to Caro, Robert Parker, Johnson’s sometime chauffer, described in his memoir Capitol Hill in Black and White a moment when Johnson asked Parker whether he’d prefer to be referred to by his name rather than “boy,” “******” or “chief.” When Parker said he would, Johnson grew angry and said, “As long as you are black, and you’re gonna be black till the day you die, no one’s gonna call you by your goddamn name. So no matter what you are called, ******, you just let it roll off your back like water, and you’ll make it. Just pretend you’re a goddamn piece of furniture.”

Johnson was a racist to his core, and voted for the very last of the Civil Rights acts”

Johnson may have been a racist- but he supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act- and you don't- and you blame African Americans and Latino Americans for racism.

Yeah- you want to see a racist- go look in a mirror.

...calling someone a racist is vile.....

And yet you have no problem calling 90% of African Americans racists.

You poor little snow flake.

You call millions of Americans racists- yet when I point out that the only race you don't seem to have problem with is pastey white in color, you get all whiny.

The democrat hero...he is all yours.....racism is the core of the democrat party...and all of their Presidents are vile racists....


Lyndon Johnson was a civil rights hero. But also a racist.



For two decades in Congress he was a reliable member of the Southern bloc, helping to stonewall civil rights legislation.

As Caro recalls, Johnson spent the late 1940s railing against the “hordes of barbaric yellow dwarves” in East Asia. Buying into the stereotype that blacks were afraid of snakes (who isn’t afraid of snakes?) he’d drive to gas stations with one in his trunk and try to trick black attendants into opening it. Once, Caro writes, the stunt nearly ended with him being beaten with a tire iron.



Nor was it the kind of immature, frat-boy racism that Johnson eventually jettisoned. Even as president, Johnson’s interpersonal relationships with blacks were marred by his prejudice. As longtime Jet correspondent Simeon Booker wrote in his memoirShocks the Conscience, early in his presidency, Johnson once lectured Booker after he authored a critical article for Jet Magazine, telling Booker he should “thank” Johnson for all he’d done for black people.

In Flawed Giant, Johnson biographer Robert Dallek writes that Johnson explained his decision to nominate Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court rather than a less famous black judge by saying, “when I appoint a ****** to the bench, I want everybody to know he’s a ******.”

According to Caro, Robert Parker, Johnson’s sometime chauffer, described in his memoir Capitol Hill in Black and White a moment when Johnson asked Parker whether he’d prefer to be referred to by his name rather than “boy,” “******” or “chief.” When Parker said he would, Johnson grew angry and said, “As long as you are black, and you’re gonna be black till the day you die, no one’s gonna call you by your goddamn name. So no matter what you are called, ******, you just let it roll off your back like water, and you’ll make it. Just pretend you’re a goddamn piece of furniture.”
