Why in the hell do whites try telling me what I heard in 1964 and after from blacks who had been Repubicans and left the party were not the reasons they left? And:
As it pertains to the Civil Rights Act, 153 Democrats and 139 Republicans voted in favor of the legislation in the house. In the senate, 46 Democrats and 27 Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act. In the house, 221 Democrats voted for the Voting Rights Act, and 112 Republicans did.

You Republicans need to stop taking about 1860 and 1964 while telling us how we weren't alive then and recognize what your party has done in the 21st Century.
In 2013, it was a 5-4 decision with five conservatives who voted to gut provisions of the voting rights act that has enabled modern voter suppression. Former Republican Attorney General Jeff Sessions ended consent decrees, allowing police departments to continue their racist crusades of murder and harassment of people of color. Under President number 45 and Sessions, white supremacist groups were taken off the terrorist watch list. At the same time, they created a new group of “extremists” called Black Identity Extremists, a nonexistent set of groups according to experts in national security. This designation gave law enforcement the right to gangstalk, harass and imprison blacks who protest the continuing racist policies of this nation. We saw Hispanic babies being separated from their parents during this same Republican presidency. William Barr took the baton from Sessions and continued enforcing the racist Executrive orders of President number 45.
On December 6, 2019, The House of Representatives passed
H.R. 4, the Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2019, by a vote of
228-186. This bill was proposed to undo the damage caused by the Roberts Supreme Court 2013 decision. There were 187 Republicans in the House of Representatives in 2019. One Republican voted for this bill, Brian Fitzpatrick from Pennsylvania. In 2021, The John Lewis Voting Rights Act was opposed by every Republican in the senate.
Senate Republicans wouldn’t even let the bill come to the floor for debate. They filibustered the John Lewis Voting Rights Act like Dixiecrats did the Voting Rights Act in 1965.
Just stop. Go find Candace Owens, Kanye or some other mentally addled black person you can peddle this bs to. Because I'm not that person.
