You provided an editorial that was published on MSNBC. I would not consider that to be a factual source for anything.
At one time, the Democrats were controlled by the Southern block who were racists, the Northern wing, not so much. If anything, you acknowledge that Southern Whites were, and still are racists, the old Dems are the new Republicans...see the 'Southern Strategy for proof of that. Twisting words is not validating anything, other than desperation.
If I had provided an editorial from MSNBC that's content was counter to what I actually did post you'd take it and run with it. You know you would have.
I didn't acknowledge that Southern whites were racists nor will I now. Be careful about which foul words you put into other people's mouths.
Your hatred of Democrats blinds you. Republican's were not primarily responsible, it was the liberal policies of the left wing of the Democratic Party, led by Truman, that came to fruition in the CRA of 1957. That law was ineffective, but provided a base for the CRA of 1964, which was passed and signed into law by Democrats. The vote was mostly along geographical lines, not party lines, except more Northern Republicans opposed it than Northern Democrats. Southern Republicans were almost non-existent at the time, and all of them opposed, every last one of them. A few Southern Democrats actually supported the CRA. The only 'Northern' Dem Senator in opposition was Robert Byrd (KKK-WV), the man the right likes to use to typify all Dems. If anything, LBJ lost the South to the Republicans after the 1964 CRA, and that still holds today. It might lead one to believe the South is still pretty darn racist.
Wrong again on both highlighted lies. Your argument is not sound hence the accusation of hatred towards democrats. And your statement about liberal policies of the Democrat party being primarily responsible for the CRA (any of them) is either a lie or an innocent mistake due to ignorance. I'll let you medicate on that one.
I've used actual historical record to support my conclusion, you've used bloggers. That's a fact.
Read "Race and Racism in the United States: An Encyclopedia of the American Mosaic", think about what you've read for awhile, try to formulate an opinion based on fact rather than ideology, and get back to us. Bering a self described 'thug' I doubt that will happen.
Good day.
You say you are using historic record but you apparently skipped the part where you should have looked at the voting recordings pertaining to CRA. Otherwise you wouldn't still be embarrassing yourself and your fellow democrats by continuing to make these ridiculous statements. It is a fact that democrats where the primary roadblock in every attempt by our government to end racism. This whole thing started with you defending LBJ, which history shows was, in fact, a racist but you have nothing to offer to
ATTEMPT to prove otherwise other than claiming that blogs and editorials written on other websites aren't good enough and that I hate democrats (which isn't true either). Well, then why don't you go out there and dig up what supposedly claims proves that LBJ and the democrats collectively weren't staunch racists and opponents of the CRA? Because you can't.
And this nonsense about republicans and democrats flipping roles on racism is just another pathetic ruse by democrats that has no historical basis and should never be taken seriously by anyone. The only flip flop was the democrats politically driven decision to support fair treatment of blacks for their voting power. There hasn't been even one piece of legislation by republicans, nor is there any political belief or platform that they go by, that advocates racism towards blacks. Nothing. Nada. In fact, every since the democrats started pretending to be champions of the civil rights movement their policies have done more harm than good for blacks. So, to me it looks like their racism never ended after all. It's just hidden in their policies and subsequent legislation.
LBJ was a racist. Deal with it.
