The night democrats and republicans switched parties?

[2aguy]

It has always struck me that on July 2, 1964, the day LBJ signed the Civil Rights act into law making it illegal to discriminate against people based on race, that the narrative became that the democrat party was for black and the GOP was racist.

For the sake of argument, let's say that is correct. Why would everyone in both parties, not just one man, switch their racisms? Has there ever been such a massive switch of belief of one group of people, let alone two groups of people? The stupidity of such an assertion is really mind numbingly outrageous.

But what children are not taught in schools, or in the media, or anywhere else for that matter, is that Republican President Eisenhower pushed for Civil Rights, and yes, he was opposed by a chorus of democrats. No matter, the The Civil Rights Act of 1957 was passed despite being filibustered by democrats.

But the Left would have you believe that in a dark room in 1964, the planets aligned as everything changed. The democrats had somehow changed overnight from a party that fought to keep slavery in the 1800's, and who started the KKK to resist the Republican party in 1865, and who fought Eisenhower on his Civil Rights legislation in 1957, had changed on the twinkling of an eye for no apparent reason.

It really is mind blowing, whether you believe it or don't believe it. It borders on the miraculous.

Since Eisenhower every Republican Presidential candidate has been demonized by the DNC as a racist. Even John McCain was demonized as a racist, although once McCain turned on Trump he miraculously became a stateman and nonracist right before he died.

Funny that.

It has always struck me as bizarre that white Republicans keep telling African Americans that they are stupid.

Your 'argument' is another such example.

The Right(i.e. you) would have you believe that in a dark room in 1964 that every Democrat in America was a racist- including bizarrely the majority of African Americans.
You (intentionally) of course left ouf lots of history there- such as:
The KKK was not founded by 'democrats'- and the KKK was a force in America in both Republican and Democratic strongholds.
African Americans voted solidly for Republicans- until FDR- when the shift started- as FDR's economic policies were seen to be beneficial by African Americans- and FDR also made some major moves to end discriminatory employment during WW2- so the shift of African Americans to the Democratic Party started then.
Then Truman ordered the desegregation of the Armed Forces- which was another big move- and another move by Northern Democrats which pissed off white Southerners.
Eisenhower of course had his own signature moments trying to end discrimination- with sending the 101st airborne to ensure integration of a school and signed the 1957 Civil Rights act- which was indeed filibustered by one Democrat- Strom Thurmond- of South Carolina- who became a Republican in 1964.
Then Kennedy proposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which after his assassination Johnson pushed through into law- despite the opposition of virtually every Southern Congressman and Senator- both Republican and Democrat.
But what really clinched it- when it came to African Americans and the Republican Party- came later in 1964- when the Republicans nominated for President Barry Goldwater- who had voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Which led to Martin Luther King Jr. calling out to African Americans- and white persons of goodwill:
“The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism...On the urgent issue of civil rights, Senator Goldwater represents a philosophy that is morally indefensible and socially suicidal. While not himself a racist, Mr. Goldwater articulates a philosophy which gives aid and comfort to the racist. His candidacy and philosophy would serve as an umbrella under which extremists of all stripes would stand. In the light of these facts and because of my love for America, I have no alternative but to urge every Negro and white person of goodwill to vote against Mr. Goldwater and to withdraw support from any Republican candidate that does not publicly disassociate himself from Senator Goldwater and his philosophy.”

And as far as the 'miracle' is concerned- Strom Thurmond did indeed switch from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party- where he felt much more at home.

Yes....Black Americans made a deal with a devil....lyndon Johnson......and they turned their back on the real Civil Rights Warrior Barry Goldwater....you ignorant hack......MLK sold his people out to LBJ......whose Great Society purchase of their souls destroyed the Black Family in the cities controlled by the democrat party...

Lydon Johnson voted against every Civil Rights act up to the last two and even voted against the anti-lynching laws....you dumb ass...and that is the man the Black Civil Rights movement backed.........over the real hero Barry Goldwater....

Here is the person they turned their backs on....you twit......

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.

============

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.

By 1936, 75 percent of blacks became Democrats, whereas pre-1936, 90 percent of blacks voted Republican. Democrats were dumbfounded: how had they gotten so lucky as to gain the trust of the people they were hoping to oppress? Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

This is what LBJ realized........you can buy their votes, while you destroy their families......and that is exactly what he did....

So as we can see that you lied, the shift occured long before LBJ began talking about what he called his "Nigg#r Bill", know to the rest of us as the Civil Rights legislation.

One of the greatest lies in the political history of the United States is the lie that the democrat party and the republican traded sides on the issue of racism......the democrat party has been and always will be the party of racism and racists of all colors.

You can dispute the date but you can’t dispute that 95% of black Americans oppose the republicans and 95% of white nationalists and racists support the republicans. You tell me... what date did they switch?

I went to all black schools democrats destroy their Education forcing them in to permanent urban slave plantations, and then sick them on republican speakers.. black can’t hear a different view. Slave owners won’t allow it

 

[beagle9]

Its rather simple actually. The democrats give minorities just enough to make them feel dependent on them, all the while telling them that republicans are against them. While they continue to laugh at them behind their backs.

And the bad thing is that Democrats are taking our hard working money, and they are redistributing it to all these programs for the so called down troddened and poor, and yet never asking or seeking the real reason that someone might be poor... And why is this ?? It's because that doesn't fit the vote buying agenda does it ??? Dependency on steroids has been a tool for the cratzi's, because it's gone on way to long.

This is the racist that MLK supported over the Civil Rights hero Barry Goldwater......

Lyndon Johnson opposed every civil rights proposal considered in his first 20 years as lawmaker

"He had been a congressman, beginning in 1937, for eleven years, and for eleven years he had voted against every civil rights bill –

against not only legislation aimed at ending the poll tax and segregation in the armed services but even against legislation aimed at ending lynching: a one hundred percent record," Caro wrote.


"Running for the Senate in 1948, he had assailed President" Harry "Truman’s entire civil rights program (‘an effort to set up a police state’)…Until 1957, in the Senate, as in the House, his record – by that time a twenty-year record – against civil rights had been consistent," Caro wrote.

=========

The Party of Civil Rights | National Review

The Party of Civil Rights

The depth of Johnson’s prior opposition to civil-rights reform must be digested in some detail to be properly appreciated.

In the House, he did not represent a particularly segregationist constituency (it “made up for being less intensely segregationist than the rest of the South by being more intensely anti-Communist,” as the New York Times put it), but Johnson was practically antebellum in his views.

Never mind civil rights or voting rights: In Congress, Johnson had consistently and repeatedly voted against legislation to protect black Americans from lynching.


As a leader in the Senate, Johnson did his best to cripple the Civil Rights Act of 1957; not having votes sufficient to stop it, he managed to reduce it to an act of mere symbolism by excising the enforcement provisions before sending it to the desk of President Eisenhower.


Johnson’s Democratic colleague Strom Thurmond nonetheless went to the trouble of staging the longest filibuster in history up to that point, speaking for 24 hours in a futile attempt to block the bill. The reformers came back in 1960 with an act to remedy the deficiencies of the 1957 act, and Johnson’s Senate Democrats again staged a record-setting filibuster.

In both cases, the “master of the Senate” petitioned the northeastern Kennedy liberals to credit him for having seen to the law’s passage while at the same time boasting to southern Democrats that he had taken the teeth out of the legislation.



Johnson would later explain his thinking thus: “These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days, and that’s a problem for us, since they’ve got something now they never had before: the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this — we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”

 

[citygator]

You can dispute the date but you can’t dispute that 95% of black Americans oppose the republicans and 95% of white nationalists and racists support the republicans. You tell me... what date did they switch?

And with that statement, you are 100% full of shit.

Name calling but no debate. Surrender Cobra flashed by you. I accept.

Ok... Feel free to show evidence of said statement. We can debate it. I have no idea why you would want to do that.. But ok.

3% registered black voters are republicans. Only 8% of blacks lean Republican. Suck it.
View attachment 351271

Why should we suck it? Blacks live under the control of the democrat party....and what do they have to show for it exactly?

The whole OP is rubbishy attempting to deny that the same who fought to end slavery as Republicans are now fighting to end institutional racism as democrats. Suck it.

The democrat party is institutional racism, you twit.........their core groups are racist, their leaders are racist, both bill clinton and barak obama were good friends with racists..........the parties didn't change sides, the democrat party simply changed tactics........instead of simply being white racists, they embraced racists of all skin colors because they want power.......and racism is their tool....

Your argument is that Democrats are a diverse group of racists against all people?!? I’d love for you to flush that shit out a bit. Please explain how that idea formed in your head. I’m thinking drug induced. The Republican Party is 90% white. The Democratic Party is highly diverse. Why do you think that is? I’ll let you think on it really hard.

All of the core groups of the democrat party are racist....

La Raza.....hispanic racists....

Black Lives Matter, Congressional Black Caucus, nation of islam....black racists

the leadership of the party, bill clinton and barak obama...racists.......clinton called j. william fulbright, a true white racist, segregationist, his good friend and mentor, and he honored all the top white racists with awards and attended dedications to them.....

Barak obama is friends and allies with racists....al sharpton, jeremiah wright, louis farrakhan.....

The racists of all skin colors need the power of the government to accumulate power and money.....and they need the power of the government to punish their race enemies..... that is why they all flock to the democrat party.....they want big government with total power........so they can use that power to empower themselves...

You need help.

Name calling but no debate. Surrender Cobra flashed by you. I accept.

Uh... last time I checked, “name calling” actually requires someone to call someone a name. I didn’t call anyone a name there, pal. Are you a moron? (See how it’s done?)

You're right... I should have just quoted the surrender cobra bit... But... It still shows that you are a hypocrite.

I was not debating him I was clarifying his nonsense. He thinks the democrats are a diverse group of racists. I was making sure I read that correctly. Yep. He thinks a group of white black hispanic and Asian Americans are racists and the party of 90% white peoples are the victims. Yea. Ok. Maybe on planet K-Pax.

You can't explain how the core groups of the democrat party are racist, or the racist friends and mentors of bill clinton and barak obama.......... I stated the racist groups that make up the party, and the names and racist actions of clinton and obama........

You can deny it, but it is the truth....the democrat party is made up of racist groups and the leadership is racist to their toes....

List one racist action from Obama or Clinton. I’ll wait. You can’t other than some person they know said something you didn’t like.

Barak obama is good friends with al sharpton.....a racist and anti-semite, and a a man with actual blood on his hands, louis farrakhan, actual racist, and anti-semite, and jeremiah wright.....he attended that racists church for 20 years and the racist married obama and michelle and baptized their children.....




Then you can explain bill clinton ......dedicating a statue to his political mentor J. william fulbright, an actual democrat party segregationist..

n Tuesday, October 22, 2002, Bill Clinton traveled to Fayetteville, Arkansas to honor the life of the late Arkansas senator, J. William Fulbright by dedicating a seven-foot-tall bronze statue of the man.
-------
Among other things, Clinton said, “If [Fulbright] were here today, I’m sure he would caution us not to be too utopian in our expectations, but rather utopian in our values and vision.”

And back on May 5, 1993, in what the Washington Post characterized as a “… moving 88th birthday ceremony for former senator William Fulbright, President Clinton last night bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom on the man he described as a visionary humanitarian, a steadfast supporter of the values of education, and ‘my mentor.’” Clinton added, “It doesn’t take long to live a life. He made the best of his, and helped us to have a better chance to make the best of ours.…The American political system produced this remarkable man, and my state did, and I’m real proud of it.”

Of course, the man Clinton was praising, who he called his “mentor,” who supposedly embraced utopian values and made the world a better place for everyone, was also a rabid segregationist.

In 1956, Fulbright was one of 19 senators who issued a statement entitled the “Southern Manifesto.” This document condemned the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education. Its signers stated, among other things, that “We commend the motives of those States which have declared the intention to resist forced integration by any lawful means.” They stated further, “We pledge ourselves to use all lawful means to bring about reversal of this decision which is contrary to the Constitution and to prevent the use of force in its implementation.”

Bill and Hillary Clinton and racism - Conservapedia

www.conservapedia.com

Segregation
Here's what Bill Clinton said when he eulogized his mentor, an Arkansas senator:

"We come to celebrate and give thanks for the remarkable life of J. William Fulbright, a life that changed our country and our world forever and for the better. . . . In the work he did, the words he spoke and the life he lived, Bill Fulbright stood against the 20th century’s most destructive forces and fought to advance its brightest hopes.[54]

So spoke President William J. Clinton in 1995 of a man was among the 99 Democrats in Congress to sign the “Southern Manifesto” in 1956. The Southern Manifesto declared the signatories’ opposition to the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education and their commitment to segregation forever. Fulbright was also among those who filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That filibuster continued for 83 days.

Orval Faubus

Bill Clinton with Orval Faubus, 1991.[10]
In June 1974, a few months before Clinton would narrowly lose his congressional bid, he sat down for an interview with an oral history project.[11] Reaching out to the notorious segregationist was just good politics, he told the interviewers.

“When did you build this friendship with Faubus?” one asked.

“When I got ready to run for Congress,” Clinton answered.

“But wouldn’t he be the last guy to go see, represented the old time machine?” the interviewer pressed.

“No, no. See, that’s why I got elected. Because I don’t do things — I don’t think in terms of that,” Clinton said.

“But wouldn’t the liberal mind, whatever it is in this district, think that way?”

“Well, the liberal mind might, but I don’t have a liberal mind, I guess, if that’s the way they think. It’s a matter of politics and how you get votes,” Clinton said of doing his dance with white supremacists. “Faubus has a fine mind and a lot of influence in these hills, these people, and knows things that are worth knowing. The reason that they will vote for me, if they do, the people, even if they think that I’m liberal, whatever that is, is that I’ll sit down with all these people and talk to them.”

The New Jim Crow
Under the Clintons, more the 250,000 African Americans were imprisoned in the United States than under President Reagan,[12] a fact for which she takes credit for.[13] Cumulatively since the Clinton's passed their crime bill, 2.5 million adult black males—more than 10% of the population—have been incarcerated leaving untold damage on black families.[14]

Hillary's divisiveness and hate is targeted at a diverse group of people.[15] Hillary has publicly advocated treating minority youth like dogs,[16] has made mocking and offensive comments about Jews and retarded children, and has called common American citizens deplorables.[17] These sentiments have been confirmed by Hillary's campaign chair, Mr. John Podesta, and her campaign manager, Robby Mook. According to all major, reputable sources, Hillary Clinton and/or her organization and its surrogates started the birther movement to discredit Obama.[18] Her declining health and criminal investigation became an issue in her 2016 presidential campaign.[19]

Jesse Jackson
The Clintons call Jesse Jackson that "Goddamn n****r" behind his back.[20][21][22][23] Jackson refused to release his delegates in 1984 to Gary Hart, Clinton's old boss from the McGovern campaign of 1972. Jackson, the first African-American to win states in a major party primary, questioned the disparity between his vote total and delegate count, but even Hart sided with the DNC's rigging the primary rules.[24] In 1988 Jackson selected Ron Brown as his chief negotiator at the 1988 Democratic National Convention.[25] Brown went on to serve as DNC Chairman and Commerce Secretary until he died in a plane crash.[26]

It has always struck me that on July 2, 1964, the day LBJ signed the Civil Rights act into law making it illegal to discriminate against people based on race, that the narrative became that the democrat party was for black and the GOP was racist.

For the sake of argument, let's say that is correct. Why would everyone in both parties, not just one man, switch their racisms? Has there ever been such a massive switch of belief of one group of people, let alone two groups of people? The stupidity of such an assertion is really mind numbingly outrageous.

But what children are not taught in schools, or in the media, or anywhere else for that matter, is that Republican President Eisenhower pushed for Civil Rights, and yes, he was opposed by a chorus of democrats. No matter, the The Civil Rights Act of 1957 was passed despite being filibustered by democrats.

But the Left would have you believe that in a dark room in 1964, the planets aligned as everything changed. The democrats had somehow changed overnight from a party that fought to keep slavery in the 1800's, and who started the KKK to resist the Republican party in 1865, and who fought Eisenhower on his Civil Rights legislation in 1957, had changed on the twinkling of an eye for no apparent reason.

It really is mind blowing, whether you believe it or don't believe it. It borders on the miraculous.

Since Eisenhower every Republican Presidential candidate has been demonized by the DNC as a racist. Even John McCain was demonized as a racist, although once McCain turned on Trump he miraculously became a stateman and nonracist right before he died.

Funny that.

It has always struck me as bizarre that white Republicans keep telling African Americans that they are stupid.

Your 'argument' is another such example.

The Right(i.e. you) would have you believe that in a dark room in 1964 that every Democrat in America was a racist- including bizarrely the majority of African Americans.
You (intentionally) of course left ouf lots of history there- such as:
The KKK was not founded by 'democrats'- and the KKK was a force in America in both Republican and Democratic strongholds.
African Americans voted solidly for Republicans- until FDR- when the shift started- as FDR's economic policies were seen to be beneficial by African Americans- and FDR also made some major moves to end discriminatory employment during WW2- so the shift of African Americans to the Democratic Party started then.
Then Truman ordered the desegregation of the Armed Forces- which was another big move- and another move by Northern Democrats which pissed off white Southerners.
Eisenhower of course had his own signature moments trying to end discrimination- with sending the 101st airborne to ensure integration of a school and signed the 1957 Civil Rights act- which was indeed filibustered by one Democrat- Strom Thurmond- of South Carolina- who became a Republican in 1964.
Then Kennedy proposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which after his assassination Johnson pushed through into law- despite the opposition of virtually every Southern Congressman and Senator- both Republican and Democrat.
But what really clinched it- when it came to African Americans and the Republican Party- came later in 1964- when the Republicans nominated for President Barry Goldwater- who had voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Which led to Martin Luther King Jr. calling out to African Americans- and white persons of goodwill:
“The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism...On the urgent issue of civil rights, Senator Goldwater represents a philosophy that is morally indefensible and socially suicidal. While not himself a racist, Mr. Goldwater articulates a philosophy which gives aid and comfort to the racist. His candidacy and philosophy would serve as an umbrella under which extremists of all stripes would stand. In the light of these facts and because of my love for America, I have no alternative but to urge every Negro and white person of goodwill to vote against Mr. Goldwater and to withdraw support from any Republican candidate that does not publicly disassociate himself from Senator Goldwater and his philosophy.”

And as far as the 'miracle' is concerned- Strom Thurmond did indeed switch from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party- where he felt much more at home.

Some New Deal programs benefited black Americans, who were among the hardest hit during the Great Depression, and thus, caused them to switch parties. By 1936, 75 percent of blacks became Democrats, whereas pre-1936, 90 percent of blacks voted Republican. Democrats were dumbfounded: how had they gotten so lucky as to gain the trust of the people they were hoping to oppress? Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

So as we can see that you lied, the shift occured long before LBJ began talking about what he called his "Nigg#r Bill", know to the rest of us as the Civil Rights legislation.

One of the greatest lies in the political history of the United States is the lie that the democrat party and the republican traded sides on the issue of racism......the democrat party has been and always will be the party of racism and racists of all colors.

yes- because racists like you keep claiming that African Americans, Latino Americans and Jewish Americans are all racists.

Very KKK of you.

Nope.....I called the democrat party racists, all of the core groups that make up the party are openly, proudly racist....you moron........and the leadership, specifically bill clinton and barak obama and I gave examples......

 

[2aguy]

You can dispute the date but you can’t dispute that 95% of black Americans oppose the republicans and 95% of white nationalists and racists support the republicans. You tell me... what date did they switch?

And with that statement, you are 100% full of shit.

Name calling but no debate. Surrender Cobra flashed by you. I accept.

Ok... Feel free to show evidence of said statement. We can debate it. I have no idea why you would want to do that.. But ok.

3% registered black voters are republicans. Only 8% of blacks lean Republican. Suck it.
View attachment 351271

Why should we suck it? Blacks live under the control of the democrat party....and what do they have to show for it exactly?

The whole OP is rubbishy attempting to deny that the same who fought to end slavery as Republicans are now fighting to end institutional racism as democrats. Suck it.

The democrat party is institutional racism, you twit.........their core groups are racist, their leaders are racist, both bill clinton and barak obama were good friends with racists..........the parties didn't change sides, the democrat party simply changed tactics........instead of simply being white racists, they embraced racists of all skin colors because they want power.......and racism is their tool....

Your argument is that Democrats are a diverse group of racists against all people?!? I’d love for you to flush that shit out a bit. Please explain how that idea formed in your head. I’m thinking drug induced. The Republican Party is 90% white. The Democratic Party is highly diverse. Why do you think that is? I’ll let you think on it really hard.

All of the core groups of the democrat party are racist....

La Raza.....hispanic racists....

Black Lives Matter, Congressional Black Caucus, nation of islam....black racists

the leadership of the party, bill clinton and barak obama...racists.......clinton called j. william fulbright, a true white racist, segregationist, his good friend and mentor, and he honored all the top white racists with awards and attended dedications to them.....

Barak obama is friends and allies with racists....al sharpton, jeremiah wright, louis farrakhan.....

The racists of all skin colors need the power of the government to accumulate power and money.....and they need the power of the government to punish their race enemies..... that is why they all flock to the democrat party.....they want big government with total power........so they can use that power to empower themselves...

You need help.

Name calling but no debate. Surrender Cobra flashed by you. I accept.

Uh... last time I checked, “name calling” actually requires someone to call someone a name. I didn’t call anyone a name there, pal. Are you a moron? (See how it’s done?)

You're right... I should have just quoted the surrender cobra bit... But... It still shows that you are a hypocrite.

I was not debating him I was clarifying his nonsense. He thinks the democrats are a diverse group of racists. I was making sure I read that correctly. Yep. He thinks a group of white black hispanic and Asian Americans are racists and the party of 90% white peoples are the victims. Yea. Ok. Maybe on planet K-Pax.

You can't explain how the core groups of the democrat party are racist, or the racist friends and mentors of bill clinton and barak obama.......... I stated the racist groups that make up the party, and the names and racist actions of clinton and obama........

You can deny it, but it is the truth....the democrat party is made up of racist groups and the leadership is racist to their toes....

List one racist action from Obama or Clinton. I’ll wait. You can’t other than some person they know said something you didn’t like.

Barak obama is good friends with al sharpton.....a racist and anti-semite, and a a man with actual blood on his hands, louis farrakhan, actual racist, and anti-semite, and jeremiah wright.....he attended that racists church for 20 years and the racist married obama and michelle and baptized their children.....




Then you can explain bill clinton ......dedicating a statue to his political mentor J. william fulbright, an actual democrat party segregationist..

n Tuesday, October 22, 2002, Bill Clinton traveled to Fayetteville, Arkansas to honor the life of the late Arkansas senator, J. William Fulbright by dedicating a seven-foot-tall bronze statue of the man.
-------
Among other things, Clinton said, “If [Fulbright] were here today, I’m sure he would caution us not to be too utopian in our expectations, but rather utopian in our values and vision.”

And back on May 5, 1993, in what the Washington Post characterized as a “… moving 88th birthday ceremony for former senator William Fulbright, President Clinton last night bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom on the man he described as a visionary humanitarian, a steadfast supporter of the values of education, and ‘my mentor.’” Clinton added, “It doesn’t take long to live a life. He made the best of his, and helped us to have a better chance to make the best of ours.…The American political system produced this remarkable man, and my state did, and I’m real proud of it.”

Of course, the man Clinton was praising, who he called his “mentor,” who supposedly embraced utopian values and made the world a better place for everyone, was also a rabid segregationist.

In 1956, Fulbright was one of 19 senators who issued a statement entitled the “Southern Manifesto.” This document condemned the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education. Its signers stated, among other things, that “We commend the motives of those States which have declared the intention to resist forced integration by any lawful means.” They stated further, “We pledge ourselves to use all lawful means to bring about reversal of this decision which is contrary to the Constitution and to prevent the use of force in its implementation.”

Bill and Hillary Clinton and racism - Conservapedia

Segregation
Here's what Bill Clinton said when he eulogized his mentor, an Arkansas senator:

"We come to celebrate and give thanks for the remarkable life of J. William Fulbright, a life that changed our country and our world forever and for the better. . . . In the work he did, the words he spoke and the life he lived, Bill Fulbright stood against the 20th century’s most destructive forces and fought to advance its brightest hopes.[54]

So spoke President William J. Clinton in 1995 of a man was among the 99 Democrats in Congress to sign the “Southern Manifesto” in 1956. The Southern Manifesto declared the signatories’ opposition to the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education and their commitment to segregation forever.

It really is mind blowing, whether you believe it or don't believe it. It borders on the miraculous.

Since Eisenhower every Republican Presidential candidate has been demonized by the DNC as a racist. Even John McCain was demonized as a racist, although once McCain turned on Trump he miraculously became a stateman and nonracist right before he died.

Funny that.

It has always struck me as bizarre that white Republicans keep telling African Americans that they are stupid.

Your 'argument' is another such example.

The Right(i.e. you) would have you believe that in a dark room in 1964 that every Democrat in America was a racist- including bizarrely the majority of African Americans.
You (intentionally) of course left ouf lots of history there- such as:
The KKK was not founded by 'democrats'- and the KKK was a force in America in both Republican and Democratic strongholds.
African Americans voted solidly for Republicans- until FDR- when the shift started- as FDR's economic policies were seen to be beneficial by African Americans- and FDR also made some major moves to end discriminatory employment during WW2- so the shift of African Americans to the Democratic Party started then.
Then Truman ordered the desegregation of the Armed Forces- which was another big move- and another move by Northern Democrats which pissed off white Southerners.
Eisenhower of course had his own signature moments trying to end discrimination- with sending the 101st airborne to ensure integration of a school and signed the 1957 Civil Rights act- which was indeed filibustered by one Democrat- Strom Thurmond- of South Carolina- who became a Republican in 1964.
Then Kennedy proposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which after his assassination Johnson pushed through into law- despite the opposition of virtually every Southern Congressman and Senator- both Republican and Democrat.
But what really clinched it- when it came to African Americans and the Republican Party- came later in 1964- when the Republicans nominated for President Barry Goldwater- who had voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Which led to Martin Luther King Jr. calling out to African Americans- and white persons of goodwill:
“The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism...On the urgent issue of civil rights, Senator Goldwater represents a philosophy that is morally indefensible and socially suicidal. While not himself a racist, Mr. Goldwater articulates a philosophy which gives aid and comfort to the racist. His candidacy and philosophy would serve as an umbrella under which extremists of all stripes would stand. In the light of these facts and because of my love for America, I have no alternative but to urge every Negro and white person of goodwill to vote against Mr. Goldwater and to withdraw support from any Republican candidate that does not publicly disassociate himself from Senator Goldwater and his philosophy.”

And as far as the 'miracle' is concerned- Strom Thurmond did indeed switch from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party- where he felt much more at home.

This is the racist that MLK supported over the Civil Rights hero Barry Goldwater......

Funny how you work so hard to avoid discussing why MLK Jr made the incredibly statement that is more accurate today than it was when he said it:

“The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism...On the urgent issue of civil rights, Senator Goldwater represents a philosophy that is morally indefensible and socially suicidal. While not himself a racist, Mr. Goldwater articulates a philosophy which gives aid and comfort to the racist.

In the light of these facts and because of my love for America, I have no alternative but to urge every Negro and white person of goodwill to vote against Mr. Goldwater and to withdraw support from any Republican candidate that does not publicly disassociate himself from Senator Goldwater and his philosophy.”


In 1964- the year of the passing of the most significant Civil Rights Act in the United States for African Americans since the 13 Amendment- Republicans deliberately chose to nominate a man who very publicly had voted against that Civil Rights Act to be President.

See here is the thing- you are here- a white racist- telling the whites here at USMB- why blacks are too stupid to know who they should be voting for.

And that is why the Republican Party became the party of racists- the party that embraces to this day the symbols of the Confederate slave state that you all feel most comfortable with.

 

[2aguy]

It has always struck me that on July 2, 1964, the day LBJ signed the Civil Rights act into law making it illegal to discriminate against people based on race, that the narrative became that the democrat party was for black and the GOP was racist.

For the sake of argument, let's say that is correct. Why would everyone in both parties, not just one man, switch their racisms? Has there ever been such a massive switch of belief of one group of people, let alone two groups of people? The stupidity of such an assertion is really mind numbingly outrageous.

But what children are not taught in schools, or in the media, or anywhere else for that matter, is that Republican President Eisenhower pushed for Civil Rights, and yes, he was opposed by a chorus of democrats. No matter, the The Civil Rights Act of 1957 was passed despite being filibustered by democrats.

Moron.....LBJ was an actual racist, who voted against every Civil Rights act when he was in Congress....including the anti-lynching laws..........and proudly bragged about gutting the 1964 Civil Rights act....you dumb shit....

MLK signed on because LBJ bought him off with the Great Society....and the Great Society destroyed Black families ever since.....LBJ was a member of the klan...you moron...

Here is a man who, according to a memo filed by FBI agent William Branigan, seems to have been in the Ku Klux Klan. This memo was only revealed in recent months, with the release of the JFK Files. Progressive media—even progressive historians—largely have ignored it, trying to pretend it does not exist.
-------

A Lifelong Bigot
These traits do not describe the “old” LBJ, prior to some moral transformation. This is who LBJ was the whole time. And the same is true of LBJ’s racism. We can see this in LBJ’s use of the term “******” or “uppity ******.” LBJ didn’t just use these terms in the early days, when under the tutelage of his segregationist mentor Richard Russell he upheld segregation, upheld the poll tax, and fought to undermine anti-lynching laws. No, LBJ showed a special fondness for them when he was Senate leader, vice president and president—in other words, the very time when, supposedly, he was undergoing his moral transformation.

In the mid-1960s, LBJ nominated African-American lawyer Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court. When an aide suggested to LBJ that there were other qualified black jurists he could have chosen, suggesting as an alternative possibility Judge A. Leon Higginbotham, LBJ responded, “The only two people who ever heard of Judge Higginbotham are you and his momma. When I appoint a ****** to the court, I want everyone to know he’s a ******.”

Lyndon Johnson....the guy MLK supported....

Lyndon Johnson opposed every civil rights proposal considered in his first 20 years as lawmaker

"He had been a congressman, beginning in 1937, for eleven years, and for eleven years he had voted against every civil rights bill –

against not only legislation aimed at ending the poll tax and segregation in the armed services but even against legislation aimed at ending lynching: a one hundred percent record," Caro wrote.


"Running for the Senate in 1948, he had assailed President" Harry "Truman’s entire civil rights program (‘an effort to set up a police state’)…Until 1957, in the Senate, as in the House, his record – by that time a twenty-year record – against civil rights had been consistent," Caro wrote.

=========

The Party of Civil Rights | National Review

The Party of Civil Rights

The depth of Johnson’s prior opposition to civil-rights reform must be digested in some detail to be properly appreciated.

In the House, he did not represent a particularly segregationist constituency (it “made up for being less intensely segregationist than the rest of the South by being more intensely anti-Communist,” as the New York Times put it), but Johnson was practically antebellum in his views.

Never mind civil rights or voting rights: In Congress, Johnson had consistently and repeatedly voted against legislation to protect black Americans from lynching.


As a leader in the Senate, Johnson did his best to cripple the Civil Rights Act of 1957; not having votes sufficient to stop it, he managed to reduce it to an act of mere symbolism by excising the enforcement provisions before sending it to the desk of President Eisenhower.


Johnson’s Democratic colleague Strom Thurmond nonetheless went to the trouble of staging the longest filibuster in history up to that point, speaking for 24 hours in a futile attempt to block the bill. The reformers came back in 1960 with an act to remedy the deficiencies of the 1957 act, and Johnson’s Senate Democrats again staged a record-setting filibuster.

In both cases, the “master of the Senate” petitioned the northeastern Kennedy liberals to credit him for having seen to the law’s passage while at the same time boasting to southern Democrats that he had taken the teeth out of the legislation.



Johnson would later explain his thinking thus: “These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days, and that’s a problem for us, since they’ve got something now they never had before: the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this — we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”

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.

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."

Urban Legend: Goldwater Against Civil Rights

More specifically, Goldwater had problems with title II and title VII of the 1964 bill. He felt that constitutionally the federal government had no legal right to interfere in who people hired, fired; or to whom they sold their products, goods and services.

He felt that “power” laid in the various states, and with the people. He was a strong advocate of the tenth amendment. Goldwater’s constitutional stance did not mean he agreed with the segregation and racial discrimination practiced in the South. To the contrary, he fought against these kinds of racial divides in his own state of Arizona. He supported the integration of the Arizona National guard and Phoenix public schools.[4] Goldwater was, also, a member of the NAACP and the Urban League.[5]
His personal feelings about discrimination are enshrined in the congressional record where he states, “I am unalterably opposed to discrimination or segregation on the basis of race, color, or creed or on any other basis; not only my words, but more importantly my actions through years have repeatedly demonstrated the sincerity of my feeling in this regard…”[6]. And, he would continued to holdfast to his strongly felt convictions that constitutionally the federal government was limited in what it could do, believing that the amoral actions of those perpetuating discrimination and segregation would have to be judged by those in that community. Eventually, the states government and local communities would come to pressure people to change their minds. Goldwater’s view was that the civil disobedience by private citizens against those business establishments was more preferable than intervention by the feds. He, optimistically, believed that racial intolerance would soon buckle under the economic and societal pressure.

You can dispute the date but you can’t dispute that 95% of black Americans oppose the republicans and 95% of white nationalists and racists support the republicans. You tell me... what date did they switch?

And with that statement, you are 100% full of shit.

Name calling but no debate. Surrender Cobra flashed by you. I accept.

Ok... Feel free to show evidence of said statement. We can debate it. I have no idea why you would want to do that.. But ok.

3% registered black voters are republicans. Only 8% of blacks lean Republican. Suck it.
View attachment 351271

Why should we suck it? Blacks live under the control of the democrat party....and what do they have to show for it exactly?

The whole OP is rubbishy attempting to deny that the same who fought to end slavery as Republicans are now fighting to end institutional racism as democrats. Suck it.

The democrat party is institutional racism, you twit.........their core groups are racist, their leaders are racist, both bill clinton and barak obama were good friends with racists..........the parties didn't change sides, the democrat party simply changed tactics........instead of simply being white racists, they embraced racists of all skin colors because they want power.......and racism is their tool....

Your argument is that Democrats are a diverse group of racists against all people?!? I’d love for you to flush that shit out a bit. Please explain how that idea formed in your head. I’m thinking drug induced. The Republican Party is 90% white. The Democratic Party is highly diverse. Why do you think that is? I’ll let you think on it really hard.

All of the core groups of the democrat party are racist....

La Raza.....hispanic racists....

Black Lives Matter, Congressional Black Caucus, nation of islam....black racists

the leadership of the party, bill clinton and barak obama...racists.......clinton called j. william fulbright, a true white racist, segregationist, his good friend and mentor, and he honored all the top white racists with awards and attended dedications to them.....

Barak obama is friends and allies with racists....al sharpton, jeremiah wright, louis farrakhan.....

The racists of all skin colors need the power of the government to accumulate power and money.....and they need the power of the government to punish their race enemies..... that is why they all flock to the democrat party.....they want big government with total power........so they can use that power to empower themselves...

You need help.

Name calling but no debate. Surrender Cobra flashed by you. I accept.

Uh... last time I checked, “name calling” actually requires someone to call someone a name. I didn’t call anyone a name there, pal. Are you a moron? (See how it’s done?)

You're right... I should have just quoted the surrender cobra bit... But... It still shows that you are a hypocrite.

I was not debating him I was clarifying his nonsense. He thinks the democrats are a diverse group of racists. I was making sure I read that correctly. Yep. He thinks a group of white black hispanic and Asian Americans are racists and the party of 90% white peoples are the victims. Yea. Ok. Maybe on planet K-Pax.

You can't explain how the core groups of the democrat party are racist, or the racist friends and mentors of bill clinton and barak obama.......... I stated the racist groups that make up the party, and the names and racist actions of clinton and obama........

You can deny it, but it is the truth....the democrat party is made up of racist groups and the leadership is racist to their toes....

List one racist action from Obama or Clinton. I’ll wait. You can’t other than some person they know said something you didn’t like.

Barak obama is good friends with al sharpton.....a racist and anti-semite, and a a man with actual blood on his hands, louis farrakhan, actual racist, and anti-semite, and jeremiah wright.....he attended that racists church for 20 years and the racist married obama and michelle and baptized their children.....




Then you can explain bill clinton ......dedicating a statue to his political mentor J. william fulbright, an actual democrat party segregationist..

n Tuesday, October 22, 2002, Bill Clinton traveled to Fayetteville, Arkansas to honor the life of the late Arkansas senator, J. William Fulbright by dedicating a seven-foot-tall bronze statue of the man.
-------
Among other things, Clinton said, “If [Fulbright] were here today, I’m sure he would caution us not to be too utopian in our expectations, but rather utopian in our values and vision.”

And back on May 5, 1993, in what the Washington Post characterized as a “… moving 88th birthday ceremony for former senator William Fulbright, President Clinton last night bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom on the man he described as a visionary humanitarian, a steadfast supporter of the values of education, and ‘my mentor.’” Clinton added, “It doesn’t take long to live a life. He made the best of his, and helped us to have a better chance to make the best of ours.…The American political system produced this remarkable man, and my state did, and I’m real proud of it.”

Of course, the man Clinton was praising, who he called his “mentor,” who supposedly embraced utopian values and made the world a better place for everyone, was also a rabid segregationist.

In 1956, Fulbright was one of 19 senators who issued a statement entitled the “Southern Manifesto.” This document condemned the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education. Its signers stated, among other things, that “We commend the motives of those States which have declared the intention to resist forced integration by any lawful means.” They stated further, “We pledge ourselves to use all lawful means to bring about reversal of this decision which is contrary to the Constitution and to prevent the use of force in its implementation.”

Bill and Hillary Clinton and racism - Conservapedia

www.conservapedia.com

Segregation
Here's what Bill Clinton said when he eulogized his mentor, an Arkansas senator:

"We come to celebrate and give thanks for the remarkable life of J. William Fulbright, a life that changed our country and our world forever and for the better. . . . In the work he did, the words he spoke and the life he lived, Bill Fulbright stood against the 20th century’s most destructive forces and fought to advance its brightest hopes.[54]

So spoke President William J. Clinton in 1995 of a man was among the 99 Democrats in Congress to sign the “Southern Manifesto” in 1956. The Southern Manifesto declared the signatories’ opposition to the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education and their commitment to segregation forever. Fulbright was also among those who filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That filibuster continued for 83 days.

Orval Faubus

Bill Clinton with Orval Faubus, 1991.[10]
In June 1974, a few months before Clinton would narrowly lose his congressional bid, he sat down for an interview with an oral history project.[11] Reaching out to the notorious segregationist was just good politics, he told the interviewers.

“When did you build this friendship with Faubus?” one asked.

“When I got ready to run for Congress,” Clinton answered.

“But wouldn’t he be the last guy to go see, represented the old time machine?” the interviewer pressed.

“No, no. See, that’s why I got elected. Because I don’t do things — I don’t think in terms of that,” Clinton said.

“But wouldn’t the liberal mind, whatever it is in this district, think that way?”

“Well, the liberal mind might, but I don’t have a liberal mind, I guess, if that’s the way they think. It’s a matter of politics and how you get votes,” Clinton said of doing his dance with white supremacists. “Faubus has a fine mind and a lot of influence in these hills, these people, and knows things that are worth knowing. The reason that they will vote for me, if they do, the people, even if they think that I’m liberal, whatever that is, is that I’ll sit down with all these people and talk to them.”

Under the Clintons, more the 250,000 African Americans were imprisoned in the United States than under President Reagan,[12] a fact for which she takes credit for.[13] Cumulatively since the Clinton's passed their crime bill, 2.5 million adult black males—more than 10% of the population—have been incarcerated leaving untold damage on black families.[14]

Hillary's divisiveness and hate is targeted at a diverse group of people.[15] Hillary has publicly advocated treating minority youth like dogs,[16] has made mocking and offensive comments about Jews and retarded children, and has called common American citizens deplorables.[17] These sentiments have been confirmed by Hillary's campaign chair, Mr. John Podesta, and her campaign manager, Robby Mook. According to all major, reputable sources, Hillary Clinton and/or her organization and its surrogates started the birther movement to discredit Obama.[18] Her declining health and criminal investigation became an issue in her 2016 presidential campaign.[19]

Jesse Jackson
The Clintons call Jesse Jackson that "Goddamn n****r" behind his back.[20][21][22][23] Jackson refused to release his delegates in 1984 to Gary Hart, Clinton's old boss from the McGovern campaign of 1972. Jackson, the first African-American to win states in a major party primary, questioned the disparity between his vote total and delegate count, but even Hart sided with the DNC's rigging the primary rules.[24] In 1988 Jackson selected Ron Brown as his chief negotiator at the 1988 Democratic National Convention.[25] Brown went on to serve as DNC Chairman and Commerce Secretary until he died in a plane crash.[26]

Orval Faubus

Bill Clinton with Orval Faubus, 1991.[10]
In June 1974, a few months before Clinton would narrowly lose his congressional bid, he sat down for an interview with an oral history project.[11] Reaching out to the notorious segregationist was just good politics, he told the interviewers.

“When did you build this friendship with Faubus?” one asked.

“When I got ready to run for Congress,” Clinton answered.

“But wouldn’t he be the last guy to go see, represented the old time machine?” the interviewer pressed.

“No, no. See, that’s why I got elected. Because I don’t do things — I don’t think in terms of that,” Clinton said.

“But wouldn’t the liberal mind, whatever it is in this district, think that way?”

“Well, the liberal mind might, but I don’t have a liberal mind, I guess, if that’s the way they think. It’s a matter of politics and how you get votes,” Clinton said of doing his dance with white supremacists. “Faubus has a fine mind and a lot of influence in these hills, these people, and knows things that are worth knowing. The reason that they will vote for me, if they do, the people, even if they think that I’m liberal, whatever that is, is that I’ll sit down with all these people and talk to them.”

Rep. Ben McGee
In 1988 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Clinton wrongfully tried to overturn the election of a black state representative, Mr. Ben McGee, and replace him with a white Democrat Clinton handpicked. The case grew out of the suit against Clinton to win voting rights for the people of Crittenden County.

You dumb ass. Being pro black isnt racist. Are you telling me Trinity Church in Chicago believes blacks to be the superior race and whites inferior? Good fucking luck citing that. Do you know what racism even is?!?? #fail

On Bill Clinton, who am I to believe? The overwhelming majority of blacks who voted and supported him, or your white ass trying to defend racists and acting like the minority groups in America are the racists. #fail

All your links are to conservativepedia which mostly end up in dead links or hyper partisan sites with no actual quotes or citing. #lies #fail

It has always struck me that on July 2, 1964, the day LBJ signed the Civil Rights act into law making it illegal to discriminate against people based on race, that the narrative became that the democrat party was for black and the GOP was racist.

For the sake of argument, let's say that is correct. Why would everyone in both parties, not just one man, switch their racisms? Has there ever been such a massive switch of belief of one group of people, let alone two groups of people? The stupidity of such an assertion is really mind numbingly outrageous.

But what children are not taught in schools, or in the media, or anywhere else for that matter, is that Republican President Eisenhower pushed for Civil Rights, and yes, he was opposed by a chorus of democrats. No matter, the The Civil Rights Act of 1957 was passed despite being filibustered by democrats.

But the Left would have you believe that in a dark room in 1964, the planets aligned as everything changed. The democrats had somehow changed overnight from a party that fought to keep slavery in the 1800's, and who started the KKK to resist the Republican party in 1865, and who fought Eisenhower on his Civil Rights legislation in 1957, had changed on the twinkling of an eye for no apparent reason.

It really is mind blowing, whether you believe it or don't believe it. It borders on the miraculous.

Since Eisenhower every Republican Presidential candidate has been demonized by the DNC as a racist. Even John McCain was demonized as a racist, although once McCain turned on Trump he miraculously became a stateman and nonracist right before he died.

Funny that.

It has always struck me as bizarre that white Republicans keep telling African Americans that they are stupid.

Your 'argument' is another such example.

The Right(i.e. you) would have you believe that in a dark room in 1964 that every Democrat in America was a racist- including bizarrely the majority of African Americans.
You (intentionally) of course left ouf lots of history there- such as:
The KKK was not founded by 'democrats'- and the KKK was a force in America in both Republican and Democratic strongholds.
African Americans voted solidly for Republicans- until FDR- when the shift started- as FDR's economic policies were seen to be beneficial by African Americans- and FDR also made some major moves to end discriminatory employment during WW2- so the shift of African Americans to the Democratic Party started then.
Then Truman ordered the desegregation of the Armed Forces- which was another big move- and another move by Northern Democrats which pissed off white Southerners.
Eisenhower of course had his own signature moments trying to end discrimination- with sending the 101st airborne to ensure integration of a school and signed the 1957 Civil Rights act- which was indeed filibustered by one Democrat- Strom Thurmond- of South Carolina- who became a Republican in 1964.
Then Kennedy proposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which after his assassination Johnson pushed through into law- despite the opposition of virtually every Southern Congressman and Senator- both Republican and Democrat.
But what really clinched it- when it came to African Americans and the Republican Party- came later in 1964- when the Republicans nominated for President Barry Goldwater- who had voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Which led to Martin Luther King Jr. calling out to African Americans- and white persons of goodwill:
“The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism...On the urgent issue of civil rights, Senator Goldwater represents a philosophy that is morally indefensible and socially suicidal. While not himself a racist, Mr. Goldwater articulates a philosophy which gives aid and comfort to the racist. His candidacy and philosophy would serve as an umbrella under which extremists of all stripes would stand. In the light of these facts and because of my love for America, I have no alternative but to urge every Negro and white person of goodwill to vote against Mr. Goldwater and to withdraw support from any Republican candidate that does not publicly disassociate himself from Senator Goldwater and his philosophy.”

And as far as the 'miracle' is concerned- Strom Thurmond did indeed switch from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party- where he felt much more at home.

This is the racist that MLK supported over the Civil Rights hero Barry Goldwater......

Funny how you work so hard to avoid discussing why MLK Jr made the incredibly statement that is more accurate today than it was when he said it:

“The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism...On the urgent issue of civil rights, Senator Goldwater represents a philosophy that is morally indefensible and socially suicidal. While not himself a racist, Mr. Goldwater articulates a philosophy which gives aid and comfort to the racist.

In 1964- the year of the passing of the most significant Civil Rights Act in the United States for African Americans since the 13 Amendment- Republicans deliberately chose to nominate a man who very publicly had voted against that Civil Rights Act to be President.

See here is the thing- you are here- a white racist- telling the whites here at USMB- why blacks are too stupid to know who they should be voting for.

And that is why the Republican Party became the party of racists- the party that embraces to this day the symbols of the Confederate slave state that you all feel most comfortable with.

Moron.....LBJ was an actual racist, who voted against every Civil Rights act when he was in Congress....including the anti-lynching laws..........and proudly bragged about gutting the 1964 Civil Rights act....you dumb shit....

MLK signed on because LBJ bought him off with the Great Society....and the Great Society destroyed Black families ever since.....LBJ was a member of the klan...you moron...

Wow- that is such a great argument- and clearly it is the reason why the Republican Party get 90% of the African American vote.

Let me recap your 'argument':
You are saying African Americans are too stupid to know who they should be voting for
You are saying African Americans are too stupid to know American history and
You are saying that Martin Luther King Jr.- probably the most revered African American of the 20th century- was corrupt.

And this is why African Americans reject you and your Klan.

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.

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."

Urban Legend: Goldwater Against Civil Rights

More specifically, Goldwater had problems with title II and title VII of the 1964 bill. He felt that constitutionally the federal government had no legal right to interfere in who people hired, fired; or to whom they sold their products, goods and services. He felt that “power” laid in the various states, and with the people. He was a strong advocate of the tenth amendment. Goldwater’s constitutional stance did not mean he agreed with the segregation and racial discrimination practiced in the South. To the contrary, he fought against these kinds of racial divides in his own state of Arizona. He supported the integration of the Arizona National guard and Phoenix public schools.[4]

Goldwater was, also, a member of the NAACP and the Urban League.[5]


His personal feelings about discrimination are enshrined in the congressional record where he states, “I am unalterably opposed to discrimination or segregation on the basis of race, color, or creed or on any other basis; not only my words, but more importantly my actions through years have repeatedly demonstrated the sincerity of my feeling in this regard…”[6].

And, he would continued to holdfast to his strongly felt convictions that constitutionally the federal government was limited in what it could do, believing that the amoral actions of those perpetuating discrimination and segregation would have to be judged by those in that community. Eventually, the states government and local communities would come to pressure people to change their minds. Goldwater’s view was that the civil disobedience by private citizens against those business establishments was more preferable than intervention by the feds. He, optimistically, believed that racial intolerance would soon buckle under the economic and societal pressure.

In the light of these facts and because of my love for America, I have no alternative but to urge every Negro and white person of goodwill to vote against Mr. Goldwater and to withdraw support from any Republican candidate that does not publicly disassociate himself from Senator Goldwater and his philosophy.”

And as far as the 'miracle' is concerned- Strom Thurmond did indeed switch from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party- where he felt much more at home.

This is the racist that MLK supported over the Civil Rights hero Barry Goldwater......

Funny how you work so hard to avoid discussing why MLK Jr made the incredibly statement that is more accurate today than it was when he said it:

“The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism...On the urgent issue of civil rights, Senator Goldwater represents a philosophy that is morally indefensible and socially suicidal. While not himself a racist, Mr. Goldwater articulates a philosophy which gives aid and comfort to the racist. His candidacy and philosophy would serve as an umbrella under which extremists of all stripes would stand. In the light of these facts and because of my love for America, I have no alternative but to urge every Negro and white person of goodwill to vote against Mr. Goldwater and to withdraw support from any Republican candidate that does not publicly disassociate himself from Senator Goldwater and his philosophy.”


In 1964- the year of the passing of the most significant Civil Rights Act in the United States for African Americans since the 13 Amendment- Republicans deliberately chose to nominate a man who very publicly had voted against that Civil Rights Act to be President.

See here is the thing- you are here- a white racist- telling the whites here at USMB- why blacks are too stupid to know who they should be voting for.

And that is why the Republican Party became the party of racists- the party that embraces to this day the symbols of the Confederate slave state that you all feel most comfortable with.

Moron.....LBJ was an actual racist, who voted against every Civil Rights act when he was in Congress....including the anti-lynching laws..........and proudly bragged about gutting the 1964 Civil Rights act....you dumb shit....

MLK signed on because LBJ bought him off with the Great Society....and the Great Society destroyed Black families ever since.....LBJ was a member of the klan...you moron...

Here is a man who, according to a memo filed by FBI agent William Branigan, seems to have been in the Ku Klux Klan. This memo was only revealed in recent months, with the release of the JFK Files. Progressive media—even progressive historians—largely have ignored it, trying to pretend it does not exist.

A Lifelong Bigot
These traits do not describe the “old” LBJ, prior to some moral transformation. This is who LBJ was the whole time. And the same is true of LBJ’s racism. We can see this in LBJ’s use of the term “******” or “uppity ******.” LBJ didn’t just use these terms in the early days, when under the tutelage of his segregationist mentor Richard Russell he upheld segregation, upheld the poll tax, and fought to undermine anti-lynching laws. No, LBJ showed a special fondness for them when he was Senate leader, vice president and president—in other words, the very time when, supposedly, he was undergoing his moral transformation.

In the mid-1960s, LBJ nominated African-American lawyer Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court. When an aide suggested to LBJ that there were other qualified black jurists he could have chosen, suggesting as an alternative possibility Judge A. Leon Higginbotham, LBJ responded, “The only two people who ever heard of Judge Higginbotham are you and his momma. When I appoint a ****** to the court, I want everyone to know he’s a ******.”

Lyndon Johnson....the guy MLK supported....

Lyndon Johnson opposed every civil rights proposal considered in his first 20 years as lawmaker

"He had been a congressman, beginning in 1937, for eleven years, and for eleven years he had voted against every civil rights bill –

against not only legislation aimed at ending the poll tax and segregation in the armed services but even against legislation aimed at ending lynching: a one hundred percent record," Caro wrote.


"Running for the Senate in 1948, he had assailed President" Harry "Truman’s entire civil rights program (‘an effort to set up a police state’)…Until 1957, in the Senate, as in the House, his record – by that time a twenty-year record – against civil rights had been consistent," Caro wrote.

The Party of Civil Rights

The depth of Johnson’s prior opposition to civil-rights reform must be digested in some detail to be properly appreciated.

In the House, he did not represent a particularly segregationist constituency (it “made up for being less intensely segregationist than the rest of the South by being more intensely anti-Communist,” as the New York Times put it), but Johnson was practically antebellum in his views.

Never mind civil rights or voting rights: In Congress, Johnson had consistently and repeatedly voted against legislation to protect black Americans from lynching.


As a leader in the Senate, Johnson did his best to cripple the Civil Rights Act of 1957; not having votes sufficient to stop it, he managed to reduce it to an act of mere symbolism by excising the enforcement provisions before sending it to the desk of President Eisenhower.


Johnson’s Democratic colleague Strom Thurmond nonetheless went to the trouble of staging the longest filibuster in history up to that point, speaking for 24 hours in a futile attempt to block the bill. The reformers came back in 1960 with an act to remedy the deficiencies of the 1957 act, and Johnson’s Senate Democrats again staged a record-setting filibuster.

In both cases, the “master of the Senate” petitioned the northeastern Kennedy liberals to credit him for having seen to the law’s passage while at the same time boasting to southern Democrats that he had taken the teeth out of the legislation.



Johnson would later explain his thinking thus: “These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days, and that’s a problem for us, since they’ve got something now they never had before: the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this — we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”

In the case of LBJ and MLK, it sounds like the old game was in play, where as King was looking at it like "you keep your friends close, but you keep your enemies even closer"....
