Looks like the weekend slaughter is starting early this week

It was filibustered in the US Senate by DEMOCRATS, Al Gore, SR. , Robert Byrd, and John Connolly.


The FILIBUSTER was BROKEN BY EVERETT DIRKSEN, REPUBLICAN FROM ILLINOIS.


The GOP is who got the Civil Rights Act(s) to the President's desk.

The KLAN and JIM CROW ARE NOT "150 years ago", and BOTH CREATED BY DEMOCRATS, AS YOU ALREADY PROVED YOU WERE IGNORANT OF.

The KLAN was started in INDIANA, a NORTHERN STATE.


YOUR IGNORANCE OF HISTORY IS APPALLING.

You're cherry-picking your stats. But you do that frequently so why stop. .
JFK proposed the Civil Rights Act and LBJ signed the bill. You failed to mention that.
The KKK was most prevalent and flourished in the red Republican states. You failed to mention that, too.

I'm not surprised you swallow the right wing bullshit so easily. After all, you swallowed the bullshit that Trump won the 2020 election. Do you also believe Trump is still the president like many other MAGA morons?

You belong in this video with the other MAGA morons, Grokmasturbater.

Frothy-mouthed , childish attempted deflection, duly noted.


Sorry; I posted the entire HISTORICAL FACTS, not "stats", which you are now trying to pretend you weren't already busted being ignorant of.

You're now trying a desperate "word dance" to pretend otherwise; sorry, Junior, but that cat's already out of the bag, so to speak.

We all are now aware of your utter lack of knowledge...and you can never take it back.

This from a moron who thought Trump won the 2020 election. YOU are the one with ZERO credibility.

Read this and learn something for a change, Grokmasturbater.

It is mostly accurate that the Republican Party formed to oppose the extension of slavery, although*up until the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, Abraham Lincoln and other Republicans pledged not to interfere with slavery in states where it existed. And the first 23 African*Americans in Congress did belong to the Republican Party, due to the GOP's support of voting rights and the Democratic Party’s embrace of white supremacy.

Neither the Democratic nor the Republican parties of today are like their 19th century forebearers. By the late 1960s, the national Democratic Party had abandoned its former support for legal segregation and enjoyed strong support from Black voters, while Republicans had embraced a white backlash to voting and civil rights to build their party in the South.

“One has to wrap your mind around the fact parties evolve, and they change, and they have points of view and they’re not same in one century as they are in another,” said Eric Foner, a professor of history at Columbia University*who is considered the preeminent scholar of the Reconstruction period.

The Democratic Party for most of the 19th century was a white supremacist organization that gave no welcome to Black Americans.
“The Democrats were often called conservative and embraced that label,” she said. “Many of them were conservative in the sense that they wanted things to be like they were in the past, especially as far as race was concerned.”

But white Southern intransigence made it impossible to enact any meaningful protections at the federal level. That, combined with the rise of a new generation of white Republicans more interested in big business than racial equality, cooled GOP ardor for Black civil rights.

The devastation of the Great Depression, combined with the promises of programs of the New Deal, led Black voters into the Democratic Party. The vast majority of Black voters supported Franklin D. Roosevelt for president in 1936. The passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 and the Voting Rights Act in 1965 led to an even greater shift toward Democrats, who sponsored both measures.

Most Northern Republicans voted for both acts, but Barry Goldwater’s 1964 presidential campaign, and Richard Nixon’s later embrace of what was known as the “Southern strategy,” appealed to whites who resented or opposed demands for voting and civil rights, further boosting Black support for Democrats.

“Gerald Ford might have flirted with 15%, but since Gerald Ford, since Ronald Reagan, the party has solidified its embrace of what had been previously been the Solid South, the Solid white South,” said Vincent Hutchings, a professor of political science at the University of Michigan.
