NO Twaddles, you made an absolute statement. I would have re-quoted it here but you just did it for me directly above. And I showed you where ZERO Southern Republicans voted for CRA 1964, zero being fewer than the six Democrats who voted for it.
So you're wrong, and you can't face it. Which is par for this coarse. You've carried the same inability throughout this pointless exercise.
Oh, sorry, I couldn't event tell what you were trying to say with that.
Southern Republicans, of that time, were a tiny faction of the party. They certainly did not define the party. I'm not sure what the story was with them and their relationship with the larger national party, but the Party, as a whole, was solidly behind the bill and was in favor of civil rights before, during and after that vote,
YOur attempt to focus on one small faction of the Party and ignore what the vast majority were doing and what the stated party platform was,
is stupid.
You notice how lefties always claim how Democrats of the past are not the same Democrats of today. Party of slavery, KKK, segregation, lynching, Jim Crow laws, party of opposition to civil rights, somehow they evolved, changed, switched, they are the good guys, but for some reason always kept the same name.
On the other hand... Republicans, who were since the establishment of the party always supporting civil rights and party that opposed everything that Democrat stand for in the past are in minds of leftists always somehow bad guys, conservative Southerners incapable of change and acceptance.
You notice how the right wing loves to try and take credit for Civil Rights legislation, but today they are the party that is anti-minority.
Also it is the right wing who want to honor and defend the very Democrats that they claim were racist.
1. Our commitment to equality has never been stronger.
2. Southern whites have the same right to celebrate their heritage as any other group.
They have no right to force their heritage of hate on to others
Why aren’t they celebrating the good ole days of Jim Crow?
They could have a day where everything is segregated and they beat blacks for being uppity
I see what you did there.
You made a strawman about what they are doing. THen you supported it, by saying inflammatory shit.
That, ironically, is demagoguery.
You lose.
