[QUOTE="Panin, post: 1416421, member: 52431"] [SIZE=4]You provided an editorial that was published on MSNBC. I would not consider that to be a factual source for anything.[/SIZE] 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. 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. 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.
