Thanks for pointing out that Republicans of 50 years ago used to actually support civil rights
Many people don't remember that
It shows how great the party used to be
the GOP still supports civil rights-----------in the form of equal opportunity. Equal, not special.
Those of us living in the USA today are not responsible for slavery, we cannot change history, but if we fail to learn from it we are doomed.
every great civilization in history has fallen when it began to adopt liberal progressive policies, when the citizens became able to vote free stuff for themselves the economies collapsed. We are following that pattern, our destiny is certain if we continue.
