This coming June 10th, Will Be 53rd Anniversary of Democrats Filibuster of 1964 Civil Rights Act

[Fenton Lum]

Republican [sic] oppose affirmative action that uses racial quotas as discriminatory.

Actually Republicans started Affirmative Action. Whether you want to count that from the 19th century "forty acres and a mule" incentives of the post-Civil War, or whether you want to count it from Richard Nixon's "Philadelphia Plan" (1969). Both happened to derive from Republicans. Not that that means anything intrinsic to the definition of "Republican" but you seem to like to live by Composition Fallacies so there ya go --- die by one.

Have you ever come across what the rest of us call a "history book"?

That Republicans today oppose the use of racial quotas is not contradicted by Republican desire to give blacks a hand up for the last 150 years.

It's not government's responsibility to give anyone a hand up though, so, nah.

That's true, but of course the Republican Party of 150 years ago was not only the home of Liberals but also the home of "doing big things with Government", a legacy they carried over from the Whigs --- e.g. Lincoln.

Of course, political parties and what they stand for morphs over the course of 150 years, an inconvenient fact that seems to sail blithely over the OP's hood as he toddles away toddlerically with his Composition Fallacies where terms like "Republican" and "Democrat" are some sort of fixed entities that somehow just stand in one place forever ignoring the effects of time.

Some folk never grow out of wanting it both ways.

 

[Pogo]

Opposing the use of racial quotas is opposition to racism, but you libtards are OK with that as long as it benefits your constituency, as you always have.

Actually I'm against Affirmative Action. Always have been.
Why? Because I'm a Liberal. Liberalism declares "all men are created equal". It does not declare "therefore we need this law or that law to force it into existence".

Think about it.

Tall order huh.

That does not change why Republicans are opposed to racial quotas used in any capacity in any government program, but you guys twist it as though it is an attack on blacks.

I do huh?

Link?

Once again --- Philadelphia Plan. Racial quota. Nixon. Dumb de dumb dumb....

Once again --- live by the blanket generalization ............... die by it.

Was that the bill LBJ called the "****** Bill"?

Don't know about what code switching switched where, but it is the one he said "you're either the party of Lincoln or you're not -- put up or shut up":

>> Johnson and his chief political strategists on the civil rights bill --- Larry O'Brien and Deputy Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach --- began huddling within days of the assassination. Key to passage, they recognized, would be the civil rights organizations, labor, business, the churches, and the Republican party.

.... On his way to the office on the morning of December 4 [1963]--- the Johnsons were still living at The Elms --- LBJ had his driver swing by and pick up George Meany, who lived nearby. During the ride, Meany promised he would do everything possible to secure support for the civil rights bill from leaders of the AFL-CIO, no small task because the measure covered apprenticeship programs. A day later, LBJ gathered up House Republican Minority Leader Charles Halleck for the trip downtown. Halleck was noncommittal; Johnson made it plain that he was going to hold the GOP's feet to the fire on civil rights: "I'm going to lay it on the line ... now you're either for civil rights or you're not ... you're either the party of Lincoln or you're not --- By God, put up or shut up."15 ---- LBJ: Architect of American Ambition, pp. 470-471​

Wait, this was almost identical to the Civil Rights Bill put forth by Ike in 1957, the same one LBJ kept locked up in the Senate for 7 years

Fact is both Ike and LBJ had to be drug kicking and squealing toward civil rights issues.

 

[rightwinger]

Facts are that racists now flock to the Republican Party
That is why Trump got elected

No, the racists are in the Black Lies Matter movement and the KKK all established and supported by Dimmocrats.

No more response from me to you stupid shit today, RR.

KKK has the same platform as the Republican Party

Official Ku Klux Klan Party Platform IS The GOP And Tea Party Agenda | Addicting Info | The Knowledge You Crave

But once LBJ became President, he embraced Civil Rights like no President since Lincoln

"FIFTY years ago this week, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a law providing voting protections for blacks known as the Civil Rights Act of 1957. While that act is hardly as well remembered as the landmark laws of the 1960s, it’s not because it wasn’t important: at the time, it had been 82 years since any federal civil rights legislation had been passed because a coalition of Southern Democrats and conservative Republicans had consistently blocked progress.

What happened to break that logjam has been largely lost to history. Eisenhower complained in 1967 that if his critics felt “there was anything good done” in his presidency, “they mostly want to prove that it was somebody else that did it and that I went along as a passenger.” That has been especially true of his championship of civil rights.

The “somebody else” in this instance was Lyndon B. Johnson, who in 1957 was the Senate’s Democratic majority leader. Historians have consistently credited Johnson for the bill’s passage. Yes, Johnson played a role, but hardly the one his advocates might imagine: Eisenhower and his attorney general, Herbert Brownell Jr., first proposed strong legislation, and it was Johnson and his Southern cronies who weakened it beyond recognition."

Ike Liked Civil Rights

LBJ hated Civil Rights, hated it with a passion

If LBJ had hated Civil Rights, he could have easily squashed the bill when he was president

Instead, he used all of his persuasive powers to get the bill to pass. I doubt JFK could have been as successful as LBJ was in forcing that bill through Congress

It cost the Democrats the south

 

[Preacher]

Yep, The Democrats war on Civil Rights has morphed into a war against almost all Americans Civil Rights using Reverse Discrimination, aka anti-White discrimination, but it is their party's specialty in politics, racial favoritism in government and this will be a significant milestone in their race baiting strategem.

How will you celebrate it?

Maybe having a watermelon party or a Frito nacho luncheon, or perhaps something else?

Maybe watching some Al Joleson in black face singing Swanee River?

Yeah we should celebrate that anti American Anti White filth was passed eh!? Turning our schools into jungles filled with rape,murder and drugs and turning out good little drones that spew propaganda. You ******* whiny CUCKS are pathetic. OH LOOK WE ARE LESS WACIST THAN THE DEMOCRATS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Oh did he now.

Kinda makes post 22 a bit hard to essplain, donut? That why you ran away from it?

 

[RealDave]

But it's different, that was then, this is now..

Republican oppose affirmative action that uses racial quotas as discriminatory.

Republicans oppose voter fraud and want Voter ID laws as every other civilized democracy on Earth has and Dimms whine about it being opposition to voter rights, when guarding the validity of the vote is fundamental to voters rights.

Republicans support real marriage which Dimms distort as opposing gay rights.

Republicans support the flying of the Confederate Flag as part of regional history and the right to self expression, while wannabe Dimmocrat fascists want everyone to think alike and ban any dissent.

There are NO statistics showing significant voter fraud that a photo ID would prevent.

of the 10-12% of eligible voters that do not have a photo ID, they are disproportionately Democrat voters.

When you support photo ID laws. You are supporting cheating.

Instead of needing to cheat to win elections, learn how to govern & have good ideas.

The Confederate flag is a symbol of racism & hating America. Fits you just right.

FDR voted for the 55 hour work week for women in 1912 when he was in the NY state assembly..The largest lobbying group for social justice back then was women, from rich families..

First, we are talking about photo IDs. Second Missouri just passed a photo ID law this past November but will likely be tossed by the court system. Yes, the Missouri Republicans are cheating ***** just like most Republicans.

I will celebrate it by recognizing how Kennedy, LBJ and the Democrats in Congress managed to pass a Civil Rights Bill that the GOP couldn't manage to do.

You poor snowflake- tell us about your personal suffering from reverse discrimination?

Have you been refused service in restaurants, or been told to go to the back door to be served- because of the color of your skin?

Been told you can't use a restroom?

How about been told you can't attend a specific college because of your whiteness?

Snowflake- tell us about your suffering.
