Actually the 1964 Civil Rights act was passed because of Republican
support. The biggest hindrance to the passage was Sen. Gore. Yup, Al's
racist daddy.



Most southern Democrats opposed the bill. That's a fact. It's also a fact
that southern Democrat Congressmen/women are no longer racists; whereas,
most of the southern Republicans are now anti-minority. So, what you're
saying is that a segment of Congress grew up, and another segment regressed.

and no question that southern dems became southern republicans. as LBJ
said when he signed the bill "i think we just handed the south to the
GOP for the next generation'.

and he was right. if the GOP supported the bill, southern racists
didn't see it that way.

The Democratic racists simply switched parties in the mid-1960's and
became Republicans. It began in earnest at the 1964 Democratic national
convention, when the all-white delegation from Mississippi was not
allowed to be seated. Nixon developed what came to be called the
"Southern strategy" to take advantage of the former Democratic racists
moving to the GOP.

You need no further evidence of GOP racism than to look at the faces at
the GOP conventions every four years. It's a virtually all-white party.

Reality is not something much appreciated by the likes of McKee,
Ingerslob, flajim, herring, and the rest of the right-wing assholes who
crap here.

You must be plume. Your thought processes are identical. When you write
as her you dumb it down to throw off suspicion. Nice try.
