I think there are shades of grey in this argument. After all Strom Thurmond Jesse Helms and Trent Lott were all democrats in fact most people in the south were. I remember my grandfather told me once that if you told my great grandfather you were a republican he'd tell you to get the hell out of his house (I'm from Tennessee btw). Ronald Reagan supported FDR and Harry Truman but I don't think he thought he supported a racist party. I think a problem was the republicans had almost no power in
I'm a Democrat, and I realize and accept that my party has a racist history. Let's deal with it. I don't like the idea that "Democrat racists would now be Republicans" because if that's so, then FDR would have been a Republican.
If the Democrats of today are not the same as the Democrats of the 1960s, then no Democrat can claim JFK, LBJ, or FDR. I don't believe in the "parties switch roles" idea. Democrats then and now have stood for populism, Republicans have historically been small government and individualism.
You can't compare today's Republicans to the 1800's Yankee Republicans who were a Northern Liberal Party Abraham Lincoln was a Liberal Republican who was against Southern Conservative States Rights
The South switched over to Republican 40 years ago after the Southern Strategy that's why today every Southern State is ran by Republicans and today's Southern Republicans defend the Confederate Flag
Republicans love to use overall percentages in this debate because that is the one metric that makes them look good. The truth is overall more Dems voted for the act the reps. In southern states no reps voted for the act. In the north dems outvoted reps both numerically and by percentage. It's what you know, now deal with it.
Ku Klux Klan? In 1872 congressional investigations, Democrats admitted beginning the Klan as an effort to stop the spread of the Republican Party and to re-establish Democratic control in Southern states. As PBS' "American Experience" notes, "In outright defiance of the Republican-led federal government, Southern Democrats formed organizations that violently intimidated blacks and Republicans who tried to win political power... the Ku Klux Klan, was formed in Pulaski, Tenn., in 1865."
How many blacks know that blacks founded the Texas Republican Party? On July 4, 1867, in Houston, Texas, 150 blacks and 20 whites formed the party. No, not the Black Texas Republican Party, they founded the Texas Republican Party. Blacks across Southern states also founded the Republican parties in their states.
Southern White Voters switched over to Republican 40 years ago after the Southern Strategy that's why today 90% of SOUTHERN WHITE VOTERS are registered Republicans and every Southern State is run by Republicans.The 2 parties have switched over ideologies the last 150 years that's why this video Propaganda bullshit.Today's Southern White Supremacists are republicans who having a Black President.
then you might want to look up Kansas-nebraska act of 1854
it pasted
Democrat from slave states 57-4
Democrat from free states 43-43
Whigs from slave states 13-5
Whigs from free states 0-41
free soil 0-4
this information is from A Century of Lawmaking for a New Nation: U.S. Congressional Documents and Debates, 1774 - 1875. the Democrat have been around a lot longer then GOP. U can see there track record.
"Blacks built the GOP in Southern States This created an opportunity for former slaves to return a tremendous act of kindness to their benefactors and help themselves at the same time. And they did it with great enthusiasm.According to Dr. Ronnie W. Faulkner, associate professor of history at Campbell University, one-third of the 147 founders of the North Carolina Republican Party were black. Among the black GOP founders were George Henry White, James Young, E.A. Johnson.." LOOK IT UP I COPIED
Respond to this video... There is nothing in this world worst than a republican. They have done more damage to this country than Al Qaeda itself. It will take decades to fix all the crap Bush and his cronies did to this country.
@codepinkeye1 Surprise Denial? All I see is typical right spewing hatred as always. If it wasn't for the left, I don't know how you guys on the right could live. It seems your only existence is to bash liberals all the while thinking your party is a study of self righteous perfection. You worship a party that doesn't care whether or not you live or die, or care if you have the basic necessities such as health insurance. Unless you have millions, than your party does care about you.
Everyone knows, that the democrats of yesterday are the repubs today. All of the racist people are now on the right. Democrats back in the day were not liberal, they were conservative. Even Reagan was once a Democrat.
Martin Luther King Jr was not a republican, his father was.
Indeed, his father even endorsed Richard Nixon who installed a fascist regime in Chile which murdered and destroyed the hopes of native mapuche people.
@emmettk I was being a bit sarcastic about the whole "empathy/compassion" thing, though lacking human qualities is a common misrepresentation of conservatives. My not believing that bloated inefficient federal government control is the answer doesn't mean I don't care. Conversely... I'd like it done more effectively than the fed is capable (as has been consistently displayed over the decades). Having the same end goals should unite goodhearted people to find an answer. I agree emmettk. God Bless
When I tried to identify positive aspects of liberalism and conservatism, it did not suggest those qualities were exclusive to that ideology. It merely identified a greater emphasis ma y be placed on that particular quality. If we are to identify when our adversaries take their ideology to irrational extremes at times,we must be honest enough to admit that there can exist an irrational extreme from our side as well. Denying that is tantamount to saying "your excrement stinks, but mine doesn't."
BTW emmettk, thank you for being polite and thoughtful, qualities that are seeming to vanish before our very eyes. We need a return to teaching character and integrity to the children. One of my favorites: MLK ,,,"not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character". We all need to get there and away from "group thought" and "identity politics", the biggest and most socially destructive weapons in the democrat arsenal. Love and truth shall keep us free (if it's not too late).
@gtrpnoman I respect even those I have disagreement with when they are able to advance their opinion without dismissing dissent as stupidity. We essentially agree on principle. That's why I make the distinction between honest philosophy and extremist philosophy. Group thought is exhibited on both sides.We must honestly love the truth. Extremists don't believe in the whole truth. We are hypocrites when we embrace only that carefully selected part of the truth that supports our opinion or agenda.
So... My family and I lack empathy and compassion, traits which apparently are only privy to liberals trying to force HUGE inefficient government programs down our throats. We'll keep that in mind the next time we help those less fortunate. Excuse my saying this, being an "evil white man", but the enemy of the black man is the man that thinks all blacks should think the same. Black conservatives are ALWAYS attacked as being a "house n*****" or "uncle Tom". Why no diversity of thought or opinion?
The enemy of the black man is neither liberalism nor conservatism. .Positive aspects of conservatism do include self-determination, responsibility etc.. Positive aspects of liberalism include empathy, compassion etc. -The enemy of the black man is both EXTREME liberalism and EXTREME conservatism. Each , presumes that blacks are incapable of thinking for themselves but disrespects blacks in different ways. The far-left sees blacks as babies and the far right sees blacks as animals." Moderation".
PLEASE... While there are racists on both "sides" and of ALL RACES, conservatives/libertarians promote self determination & personal responsibility while liberals/progressives would cease to exist if they couldn't feed off the continuous misery perpetuated BY liberal policies promoting the welfare state and destroying the family structure. Racists? How 'bout W. Wilson and Margaret Sanger (founder planned parenthood and proponent of eugenics, especially w blacks). Hope you're doing well. Love...
Liberalism is in no way exempt from racism & Conservatism itself has no DIRECT connection to racism. Most conservatives are not racist at all. But WHEN TAKEN TO EXTREME, the result is Elitism- Favoring the class in power socially and economically at the unfair expense of the class not in power.Racism is not necessarily the goal but a by-product. Part of a strategy. Depict them as undeserving of respect, equal rights and opportunity. Negate all positive traits and exaggerate the negative traits.
It's a common propagandist attempt to confuse people into believing the lie that conservatism is not the home of white racists. It's a known fact that Republican was originally the liberal party in America until the mid 20th century. The gradual transition began with the FDR "New Deal" policies and culminated with the Civil Rights era. Most racists gradually moved from Democrat to Republican. And that's where it sill stands today. The one constant is this: RACISTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CONSERVATIVE.
Poor people have been voting democrat for the past 85 years, and guess what: they're still just as poor. The democratic party needs people to be poor so that the party will continue to have a power base.
What people dont realize is that all of these states and districts that voted for for people like wallace and goldwater and elected these officals are the sameones that will Republican today. Black people have lived in the south for centuries and trust me southerns are not voting for Republicans because of civil rights and stuff for black people. Just see southern strategy for proof.
It wasn't a Left/Right thing. It was a north/south thing. The original House version: Southern Dems: 7–87 (7%–93%) Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0%–100%) Northern Dems: 145-9 (94%–6%) Northern Republicans: 138-24 (85%–15%) The Senate version: Southern Dems: 1–20 (5%–95%) Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0%–100%) Northern Dems: 45-1 (98%–2%) Northern Republicans: 27-5 (84%–16%) Strom Thurmond was a Dem back then, leading the filibuster efforts. He switched parties.
The Republicans DID switch places with the Democrats on Civil Rights in 1964. Barry Goldwater promised to seek repeal of the Civil Rights Act. Had Goldwater been elected and the act repealed, Jim Crow would still be on the books today,.
You can't claim to defend "states' rights" and still claim to be against racism. States' rights never meant anything but "segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever".
@KennBurch Goldwater knew the Civil Rights Act of 1964 replicated the Civil Rights Act of 1875, which was enacted by a Republican Congress over strenuous Democratic opposition. In 1883 the Supreme Court, knocked down the 1875 act as well as many other Republican measures passed during Reconstruction designed to aid African Americans. States have no rights to deny rights to others.
No, Jim Crowe woulod not have been reinstated, but Goldwater was wrong about opposing the Civil Rights act. Goldwater also said that the freedoms granted in the civil rights act already existed in the 13th and 14th ammendment, and for the federal government to mandate state behaviour, the federal govt was overstepping it's bounds.he had a point on there being "no need" for a special ammendment, for the 13th and 14th ammendment DID grant thosefreedoms, but due to democrat abuse, it was necessary
The Bill, which was drafted by Republican President Eisenhower, was voted down by democratic majority when Eisenhower was still in. The ony reason it passed in 1964 was because of the Republican vote, about 87 %.
@denalaurens It wasn't voted down by the majority of the Democrats. It was filibustered to death in the Senate(oh, and btw, Ike never had anything to do with drafting any Civil Rights Bill) by a MINORITY of segregationist senators who ran on the Democratic line. If the "Party of Lincoln" had agreed to vote for cloture, the Southern filibuster would never have succeeded.
Also, the Republicans had NO EXCUSE for not passing an Anti-Lynching Law when THEY ran COngress in the 1920's.
@KennBurch I erred. The civil Rights bill by Eisenhower passed in 1957 and a second one, declaring blacks the right to vote was passed in 1960. The only problem was that Eisenhower was too soft. Except he did Federalized the Alabama National Guard and sent federal troops to escort black kids to school. The members of the Commission he created did little.
In 1871, the Republican-controlled 42nd Congress passed a Civil Rights Act aimed at the Ku Klux Klan.
Guilty of murdering hundreds of African-Americans, this terrorist organization had also eradicated the Republican Party throughout most of the South. The law empowered the Republican administration of Ulysses Grant to protect the civil rights of the former slaves in federal court, bypassing the Democrat-controlled state courts.
The 1871 Civil Rights Act, along with the GOP’s 1870 Civil Rights Act, effectively banned the Klan and enabled Republican officials to arrest hundreds of Klansmen. Though the U.S. Supreme Court would eventually strike down most of the 1871 Civil Rights Act, the Ku Klux Klan was crushed. The KKK did not rise again until the Democratic administration of President Woodrow Wilson, who showed a KKK recruiting film. So the laws were already on the books before the 1920s.
I dont give a fuck about what anyone says about either party. Neither Dems nor Republicans can be trusted to look out for ANYONES best interest. It's all about profit. And yes, there are racists abundant in both parties. Don't kid yourself into thinking otherwise, it's two different sides of the same coin.
If people would stop this "gotta vote this party" garbage, and start looking at the candidates as individuals, maybe some of the corruption and stupidity can be gotten rid of. Like this myth about the "Republicans are racists" bs. The first two anti-racism laws after the civil war were created and passed by Republicans (Fair Housing laws.) The Democratic party has been cramming this garbage down everyone's throat for years. Jim Crow laws were passed by racists, of both parties, mostly Democrat.
If you go back and read that post again, I said "ABC News reported"... they have lots of time to study the issues and decide that the left has been moving further left (they get paid to do it, I don't.) I agree with your statement about republicans raise taxes too, and other things, but I would have to guess the study included a lot of other issues such as gay marriage, abortion, etc. Most of these issues, the conservatives have been consistent on, or even become slightly more liberal about.
To all the people who think this information is wrong or misleading... I found all this information on Wikipedia an hour ago, before I watched this video. The video producer left out something kinda funny... one of the Democrats who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a Senator named Albert Gore Sr., you know, the future-vice president's dad.
This is why "labels" are not good sometimes. Anyone who understands our current political landscape understands that there is one party in favor of civil rights, and it's the Democratic Party. The proof is in the pudding. Look at voting records. And look at the bigotry in evidence at most Tea Party rallies (although they've toned it down some).
Republicans favor the corporate elite. Dems favor the worker.
@demmmmm1 Liberals/progressives truly believe blacks are inferior. Republicans are too much like Democrats in many ways, but they're not racist. The Republican Party was founded in 1854 to oppose racist policies of the Democrats. Democrats founded the KKK, opposed all civil rights legislation from the 1860's through the 1960's and created all Jim Crow laws. Look it up for yourself. Every member of Congress who was ever in the KKK was a Democrat. The Tea Party is least racist of all.
@lakewood78 Untrue. Just ask yourself how many black members of Congress are Republican. Party philosophies change over time. Just in the last 10 years, the right has moved further right. To claim to be like Lincoln or anyone who fought for civil rights is odd because your party just doesn't do that anymore. They're against all things that mandate assisting those who can't help themselves. Everything.
We now know Rand Paul would've voted against Civil Right. Scary.
@demmmmm1 All that I said is true. Progressives have lots of noble words, but their actions speak louder. They don't think blacks are as capable as other people. But blacks are just as capable as whites, Hispanics, Asians and anyone else. I don't have a problem with "assisting those who can't help themselves". All good people do it on their own. I have a problem with "mandate". Progressives don't have a right to mandate who, when and how people help others. That's an individual right.
@lakewood78 First, it's not a "black" issue. It's a "poverty" issue. It's a "class" issue.
See, I don't see why you would even say "blacks are as capable..." That's weird. Of course they are. That's a given. And poor white people are just as capable as affluent black people.
The point is that we ARE NOT taking care of the needy in this country, yet most righties think we're doing too much.
@demmmmm1 Good point. Conservatives don't think we're doing too much. Conservatives think that when it's done by way of government force and progressive values, it gets done poorly, wastefully and unjustly. Americans should be free to own and control their own lives and property, including their acts of charity. Property taken from working Americans is earned by hours, weeks, months of their labor. Forcing one to work for the benefit of another is servitude and slavery. It's always immoral.
@lakewood78 As far as why I would say something as obvious as, "Blacks are as capable as whites": It's because most white liberal/progressives don't know that (they say it, but don't act like it), and need to be told. But you're right about it being more of a class issue. Conservatives believe Democrat and Republican politicians (the government) shouldn't have the power to make laws and regulations that give advantages to their elite friends and allies at the expense of working class citizens.
@demmmmm1 not true. ABC news radio a year or two ago reported the 'right' hasn't moved any further right, the 'left' has been moving further left. The 'right' has stayed in the same spot on most issues.
@jeffb2066 Please tell me one thing Democrats have done that indicates a move to the left. Can't use health reform, as the individual mandate was proposed by Repubs in the 90's. Can't talk taxes, as they've given tax cuts to 95% of Americans, and 8 different tax cuts for small business. Even if you could, Ronald Reagan, the God of the right, raised taxes - sometimes you have to.
Why are putting out bullshit like this? You know as well as I do that LBJ is regarded as having said to an aide after the signing of the Civil Rights Act: "We have lost the South for your lifetime and mine."
It is people like you that distort history by REFRAMING it in a flattering light to your political self-interests. You know as well as I do that the SOUTHERN states are republican states. Why? Because PROGRESSIVE whites were interested in Civil Rights...
"Conventional wisdom says the Republican Party won the South because the Democrats embraced civil rights. Now a pair of political scientists argues that the GOP takeover had more to do with economics than race."
- "How the South was won", Boston Globe, March 05 , 2006
@gorgorybmus ... You know that there is a big difference between partisan politics and personal politics. Why are liberal policies despised by conservatives?
@gorgorybmus Have you recently become this ignorant or is this a lifelong condition. I suggest you research the REGRESSIVE movement beginning with Woodrow Wilson, numbnuts! If you survive that and your head doesn't explode, then I will look for your apology to the world on being so amazingly stupid!
@theblacksphere01 lol i admit that there are racist democrats but there are also racist rpublicans to. Not only, that, but even though abraham linchon was a 'republican' he would be a democrat by todays standards. By the way, I wonder how much George Bush pays you to suck his dick?
@gorgorybmus Get a history book or go to Wikipedia and read the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It divides up the votes by North and South, Senate and House. For 99 years, every time Northern Republican-led laws were passed to end segregation and racial injustices, Southern Democrats made up new laws to keep racism going. I can't find a single reason Wikipedia would distort historic information for anyone's political agenda. There are racists in ANY group, including the NAACP.
@gorgorybmus Progressive whites like Robert KKK Byrd who in 1968 tried to commission the FBI to bring MLK on the Senate floor to publicly denounce him. Who also said in Feb of 68, 2 months before King was murdered that it was time for him to meet his waterloo. Or how about your progressive white Dems who 4 days after King was killed and John Conyers brought a measure for a holiday to named after King, voted it down and over again for the next 15yrs with Dems controlling the House & the Senate.?
@gorgorybmus 'Progressive' aka liberals created the reason why civil rights Act was needed. In fact, the dems have a long history of murdering blacks and white republicans.
@gorgorybmus -- You need some history lessons. Google the movie 'Birth of a Nation' -- this movie portrayed blacks as evil rapists of white women, and was also the inspiration of the uniform the KKK now wears today. It was also the first movie shown in the White House --- by none other than Woodrow Wilson, who was a big fan of the film.
I CHALLENGE anyone to find a flaw in what I just said. The republican party, instead of standing up against the voices of intolerance used them to get elected without saying a word. For 30 yrs they've shut their mouths taking money from the old dixiecrats essentially selling their souls to the devil. ANY TAKERS YET? Didn't think so. My God! I am better than ALL OF YOU COMBINED! The truth SHALL SET ME FREE! (insert battle hym of the republic). Anyone smart enough to challenge me? BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
The democrats who voted against the civil rights act are racist dixiecrats who along with their constituancies ditched the democrats for the republican party under Reagan. Johnson Knew full well that having signed the legislation,"We have just given the south to the republican party for 25 yrs." He was right and did the moral thing despite the consequences. The racist dems infiltrated the republican party and you scum used them to get elected instead of challenging them and their racism.
Speaking of 1964, I wonder which presidential candidate received the Deep South's electoral vote? oh yeah Republican Barry Goldwater!
Gee, if the South, especially the Deep South, had voted Democratic since the civil war, I wonder why the Deep South voted overwhelmingly for Barry Goldwater in the 1964 Presidential election?
Oh yeah, LBJ had passed civil rights legislation that year.
@TrySuckingLess he passd it sure, but you conversantly leave out that under eishower in 57 he was extrenly vocal against it and opposed it vehemtly, and you cant possibly flip history on its head with one presidential election, the facts are pretty damning aginst the dems when it comes to race, wilson, FDR, jackson and the indian removal act, the fact that democrats underwhemlingly voted for the 1964 civil rights act when republicans overwhemingly voted for it, history doesnt erase these thing
I grew up in Georgia and Alabama in the 50's and 60's and I've been trying to tell people for years that, for the most part, the racists back then were DEMOCRATS. Some of the nicest people I've ever met (black, white, green, red, purple, yellow) were from the deep south, Republicans, and because of Hollyweird they've taken a bad rap.
Thank you for posting this and I look forward to everything you unearth.
Even if this is true it doesn't matter because you've lost the black vote . . . forever. This is just sour grapes on your part and shows how DESPERATE the ANGRY ANGRY right really is. Right wing ideology is indeed a MENTAL ILLNESS(proven fact) and lying won't help you. Your stupidity is surpassed only by it's usefullness in exposing your vain efforts. You're a loser, you're always gonna be a loser and there's nothing you can do about it, but whine and complain like you always do.
First.. The KKK was started by white southerners unhappy with what was happening to what they saw as "Southern values" after the civil war. If they happened to be "Democrats" makes no difference. what it boils down to is Confederates still fighting a lost war. Thats like blaming Obama for dropping the bomb on Japan. or blaming the government of today for slavery. they werent even alive then.
@Brynngar1983 And with one paragraph you have completely and utterly destroyed their limp dicked arguments. The right wing paltroons are too easy to mock and ridiculed. I personally think that the fetus didn't get enough oxygen when they were in their mothers womb.
democrats are NOT liberals. liberals are freedom loving and for free markets. the democrats are neo-socialists. great liberal thinkers include jefferson and john locke.
@bonfirejovi "liberals are freedom loving and for free markets"
The only freedom most liberals cry for is Homosexuality and abortion. On average, they HATE the 2nd Amendment and are VERY Socialist. Not sure what you're thinking.
If you read the history books, and paid attention to what "you where taught in school" you would know that the democratic party was VERY DIFFERENT in the 1800's in Lincons time. For instance the south where the "blue" "democrat" states while the republicans where strongest in the NORTH. The exact opposite of today! If you can't. So what, Dr. Martin Luthur King was a Republican, dose not mean that their aren't dumbass racist on both sides.
@Roushfan5 You f'ing drunk uncle, you don't know enough about history to fill a thimble. You can't name 5 so-called racist Republicans who switched parties! And as for you racist Libs of TODAY, how about you check YouTube for Biden's "help" for blacks and his discussion of AIDS or Bill Maher's recent comments about Obama being "more black." You knuckledragging Guilter, who doesn't have enough sense to actually get off the talking points and learn something REAL!
@conservativesphere Your agression is so transparent to the sad lonely person, most likely thousands of miles away from me. Guess what asshole I am part of one of the smallest minorities in America. I am an atheist- and I have watched plenty of conservative talk shows and stations like FAUX News that are bigoted and vile ageist me as an atheist. If you want to split hairs and point out different shit that various parities have said over the years, thats fine just don't like through your teeth.
@Roushfan5 Or at least gain some basic understanding of historic events-
PS I am currently a Jr. in High School studying American history, unless you are going through a similar experience or are a professional historian. I highly doubt that you've even discussed American History in a civil manor in years if ever.
@Roushfan5 Ask me if I give a shit about your myopia! You enter my world as if you are a learned person, when you are an f'ing idiot. Know your facts, before vomiting your thoughts. Now get to stepin' Fetchit!
@conservativesphere You are a desperate phony, and are a symbol of everything wrong with the political system today. With this in mind-go fuck yourself.
@conservativesphere When have I ever been to YOUR YouTube page? 40 year old? Ouch that hurts, expect I am 17. Perhaps your projecting your feelings of failure on YouTube by picking on 17 year old int the form of political debate, AND STILL LOSE.
@Roushfan5 Hey 40-yo still in Jr High, if you learn to read for comprehension, I know that you said you are in Jr High, thus the skill of my quip. Nevermind! Whatever your age or where you go to school, it is obvious that you have the intellect of a baboon. It's not all your fault, however, likely breeding, and my bet is it's from your Mother's side. You can continue to learn here, however remember that I'm in charge. I will "cut off your lights," and end your welfare here!
@theblacksphere01 Its funny that you mock my reading comperhension when you seem to think that I am a Jr. in High school when I said Jr. IN High School. Not in Jr. High School. More to the point what suggests I am 40 year olds. You are more interested in insults then facts and thats OK.
Just shows that you have no talent other then cheap shallow shots, your ego is sickening and I pity what ever genes your mother passed on to you to make such a pathetic pitiful man. Go fuck yourself.
@Roushfan5 You seem to think that I care whether you are eight or eighty. Regardless of your age, you are a putz! LMBO. I bet you are a buggerer of young neighborhood boys, and a closet heroin user! And yes, I'm blocking your monkey ass again! LOL
@Roushfan5 Go read on Calvin Coolidge and how he pushed for civil rights. He stated that Blacks should have the same rights as Caucasians and he was a Republican in the 1920's. Pres. Woodrow Wilson brought Jim Crow to the federal level. That's a Democrat, not Republican. Democrats blocked anti-lynching laws in the 1920's & 1930's and fillibusterred against the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 & 1960 making them worthless. BTW, manner = behavior. manor = property.
Also, On September 9, 1957, Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1957. This first act and was followed by a second additional 1960 civil rights which instituted penalties for impeding someone's effort to vote. The fact that no one knows these FACTS and that it was Eisenhower who during the 1950's (a far less permissive decade than the 1960's) laid the ground work for both the 1964 civil rights act and the 1965 Voting Act is disgraceful.
@poldiddy and proudly voting NO on Eisenhower's civil rights act of 1957? None other than John F. Kennedy, the senator from Massachusetts, who was blatantly pandering to white racist Democrat voters in the deep south while trying to set up his run for president.
Kevin, it is fascinatingly that once you take away their only weapon, The ability to call you racist for contradicting their baseless, indefensible hypotheses, that they always proceed to spew blatantly fraudulent, absurd comments, as if simply stating such nonsense will trump reality and supersede the unequivocal facts of history. Then again, maybe the ones making comments are 12 and 13 year old kids and attending a school taught by delusional leftist teachers.
@poldiddy and sometimes, PD, they don't even wait for a black conservative to show before they start spewing blatantly fraudulent and absurd comments.
Guess what just about every single one of those republicans and democrats who voted against the civil rights bill was located in a southern state. Today those states vote republican heavily. Do you really think democrats are racist yet 90% of blacks are registered democrats. When the civil rights bill was signed the democrats lost the south forever.
@thecaliforniaknight When you vote for a candidate because he is white you are racist. It's also true when you vote for a candidate because he is BLACK!
@thecaliforniaknight Yes, unfortunately Blacks have been duped into voting Democrat and believed the Democrat propaganda, when the reality is that Republicans pushed for civil rights, while Democrats opposed.
Just about all of those Democrats and Republicans who voted no were located below the Mason Dixion line. Which now votes solidly republican. Look up the districts then and they were democrat then but now republican. Im black and currently live in the south. Why is it that in the republican south blacks are fleeing to the democrat north for jobs that they qualified for but cant get in the republican south.
@thecaliforniaknight Dem ideas and Repub ideas on economy, foreign policy, etc have switched. Go read Reagan's speeches or JFK speeches and you will find grave similarities. Regarding fleeing for jobs, people are fleeing to the southern states like TX and LA for jobs as CA and northern states are going bankrupt.
@thecaliforniaknight I call BS. There were a higher percentage of republicans who voted for the civil rights act than democrats. And the next presidential election, the white racist southern democrats did NOT vote for Nixon, but for Wallace.. a white racist Democrat who did not become a republican but ran as an independent.
Nixon was a moderate who desegrated schools, not a beneficiary of white racist former Democrat votes.
Be sure to check the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960. Both endured strong Democrat fillibusters. The CRA of 1957 was made worthless due to the Democrat fillibuster.
the truth is, the liberal left is the racist bunch, the 21st century version of redneck, this should be obvious. they use race as an argument for everything, even though race has nothing to do with it. they are artificially sympathetic to minorities, but would never be friends or treat them on the same level as they are, that is racism. Ask the jews who had simular anti semitism in germany with oversympathetic germans. equal is EQUAL, and liberals are not equal when they act as they do.
MLK was communist and believed in racial quotas. So by todays standards we would not be a republican. The politics changed over the time. Why cant people get that through their heads.
@magentawave During the Little Rock Nine incident, Gov. Orval Faubus was the Democrat who opposed President Dwight Eisenhower's desegregation order. Martin Luther King Jr. is commonly referred to as a "labor leader" not a Republican. And I saw on Pat Robertson's 700 Club an offer for DVDs ... there were black Republicans in American history as well. You don't hear these facts from the liberal media!
A little misleading. The democrats that opposed the CRA where southern Dixiecrats. Most changed there party affiliation during the next several years to Republican. Senator Long of La. told LBJ is you sign the bill the democrats will lose the Southern States for 2 generations. He was a prophet. For the most part, the South was heavily democratic up until this time. PS. Abraham Lincoln is now spinning in his grave at the path of the Republican Party

@MetalDetroit Source please you fucking asshole (In reply to:
"Democrats called Condoleeza Rice and Clarence Thomas
"aunt jemima" and "uncle tom""
.
It is inflammatory bullshit like this, without, SOURCES listed, that allows the party of ignorance, the republican party, to keep it filling its ranks...
@gorgorybmus Sources - go back and read some of the posts on democraticunderground (dot) com or how about the huffingtonpost (dot) com
There was so much hatred for Thomas and Rice that people were seething. Don't try to deny it. It was racist to it's core - and it was Democrat racism for two black people who dared to think differently than the majority of their race.
People forget the details of history. The democrats were controlled by the conservative even before the cilvil war, until 1968 when democrats decided to be liberal when LBJ the liberal democrats sign basic cilvil rights into law. In 1968, the conservative democrats, and white voter exodus took place over to the republican party. It is now the republican party who is now conservative, and democrats who is now liberal.
Though there is some validity to "conser v lib," in the end that argument is lame. LBJ was the PICTURE of racism. So the idea that he changed and was FOR blacks is ridiculous. Further the idea that racist Dems went Republican is equally inane, because MOST Dems were racist, and thus the entire party would have had to switch! The Dems were and continue to be the BIGGEST RACISTS IN HISTORY!
You have to study the cilvil war history, the candidate, the voting patterns of the southern states, and issues. It takes a lot of reading, and studying of political history.
Let me ask you; what first president put into law of desegregation of the cilvil rights act.
Heard that before, but still do not believe it. For one, I know two white guys who were skinheads. They are neither democrat or republican. They like neither party because they cater to minorities.
And if you are correct, explain why the RNC is ran by a man who is half Black? Explain why Black and Hispanic Republicans exist today.
Because republicans knew they had to sidestep the Barry Goldwater trap. I beleive the Skinheads are now separtists group now, and republicans are losing their conservative status now just like the democrats have long ago.
Of course race issue I beleive is no longer a concerned. I can say this as a hispanic/latino conservative.
Your must live in a good place, because as a good ole southern WASP, I still see racism everywhere. I have hope the youth of this county will cleanse this blight.
@1deadtoe What is a WASP? I know that a WOP stemmed from one being in America WithOut Papers, but I've never heard of a WASP. Apparently, I don't get out much.
Wow, maybe I'm the one who is not getting out much! WASP was a very common temn used in the 60s and 70s. It means White Anglo Saxon Protestant. By the way, there is no cure for stupidity, but knowledge is a cure for ignorance.
@1deadtoe@1deadtoe I'm sure that if I weren't such a mutt, I would have heard the term. Some ancestors were of English nobility; others were Native American slaves in the 1700s. I guess if reparations pushed through congress, I'd have to pay myself. I'm not sure how that would work, but I'm sure one of my people would try to get an awful casino out of the deal. Thanks for your time. =0) The more I learn, the more I realize just how ignorant I am. "If I could just go back to 1982..."
80% of congressional Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act. only 60% of Democrats did.
I still want the names of the Democrats who 'switched to Repub so they could stay racist'.
Byrd didn't switch. A KKK Kleagle should have 'gotten the word' that racists were Repubs now, right? BUT NO. Neither Helms nor Lott ever ran for office as Dems, so they didn't 'switch'.
If there was an 'exodus', surely it had a couple of Moses types to lead it. WHO WERE THEY????????
First off, you do not know anything. You just jump to conclusions. If White Racists Democrats switched to Republican, why are there still Black, Asian and Hispanic Republicans now and even then?
simple-
Democrats who were racists went somewhere else. The Democrat Party got hijacked by left wing socialists. Those Democrats who were also so called racists were also capitalists and patriotic.
Would you still be a democrat speaking down on our armed forces and prayer in schools?
None of democrats ever switch parties, It was the conservative voters that did, not congressional candidates. Liberals eventually took over the democratic party in 1968- 1972 by placing George Mcgovern as a presidential candidate. People were not ready for such a liberal candidate, and people voted nixon as president. Even George Wallace (D) gave his vote over to Nixon (R). so the conservative voter switch parties to the republicans even when many voters still were regestered democrats.
President Obama called his grandmother a typical white person.
President Obama sat in the Church of a black supremecist for 30 years.
President Obama appointed a woman to the supreme court whom believes one race can interpret the law better than another.
Where were the liberals speaking against this vile language? They weren't! They believe in racism as long it is against white people & they launch assaults of racial attacks on conservative minorities & women.
ATTENTION HUMANS: Google Tom Shelly's niggermania page for irrefutable, well-sourced facts about MOON CRICKETS. He has videos of niggers eating menstrual waste out of cow pussy and pictures of CANNIBAL PICNICS.

What a dumb video. Michael Steele, head of the GOP, uses the term "injun". Its a racial slur against Native Americans. Go talk to your own party about Racism.The Democrats broke through the racial divide in this country and put a Black Family in the WH. The Democrats get better. You all act like idiots..
@livelovebe1970 Barack is half white, and he isn't an american, you can ask harry reid about that , it is the only reason harry eid likes him, and way to skip over the good black american's for the office of president democrats. Dead democrats smell better than live ones, a message from the youth for a better future foundation.
Yes, everyone knows it was the democrats who promoted the slave trade in the 17th century. Oh wait, that was before the United States existed. Now take the Romans; they werent racist, they were equal opportunity slavers. The root of racism is fear and hate! Or in the case of the south, a justification by a Christians country for this horrible institution.
The only thing dumb in your statement is you! Yet another stupid ass comment that dismisses the FACTS of Dems racism then and now. You deserve your idiotic self!
You would think the facts in this video were self evidnet. The only person who filibustered the 1964 civil rights act was Robert Byrd a Democrate. He did it for 14 hours.
Racist, thos the few that still exist are scattered about both political parties. All we are trying to say is that Most Repubs are not racist. We don't vote based on race. We vote based on principles. There is no proof of any migration of racist people to the repub party. If so Robert Byrd would have joined a long time ago. Also Republicans openly did not back the very racist David Duke. Cont.
When he tried to switch parties. They even went so far as to back johnson the Democrate running against him. Also Republican Party Chairman Jim Nicholson remarked: "There is no room in the party of Lincoln for a Klansman like David Duke." So unless you have solid proof that they are all racists based on the non facts that you have or don't. Stop insinuating that they are unless you have solid evidence, and no being against socialism is not proof of this.
i don't buy that they're 'scattered among both parties".. let's try naming Republican racists and giving evidence. Plenty of evidence against Dems who are walking around RIGHT NOW, even the stupid TV guy Matthews can't stop thinking about how Obama is Black, Reid says he's a Negro, etc etc.. where are racist Repub comments?
theblacksphere01 then so be it but don't try and tie old racist Democrats to modern day Democrats! All I see since Obama became president is watermelon and fried chicken jokes coming from the republican party!! Go hang with people like Haley Barbour HUGE RACIST!! You either blind or to stupid to recognize the truth!
Change history! I'm proud of the Republicans past and present you buffoon! Go back to your porch or keep waiting on some Democrap to bring you your reparations! I wish I could slap the living crap out of all you silly Libs who come here with nothing but unadulterated ignorance!
"don't try to tie old racist Democrats to modern day Democrats!"
two words... ROBERT BYRD.
The worst of them. STILL a democrat. How do you explain this? Do you forgive him for being a Kleagle in the Klan? Why? Nixon desegregated public schools in 1970! Democrats OPPOSED IT.
I still don't get why Byrd has a free pass on this crap when some Republicans get called racist because they mention black ink on a budget bill.
Republicans have done more for Blacks than Democrats ever will. And let us remember that Blacks were given freedom from Republican Party.
Democrats were busy making sure Blacks stay dumb slaves with no rights. Now, Blacks stay dumb in ghettoes, today's plantations, and continue to collect welfare, the new slave master. Keep voting democrat and getting the welfare check. That is what the Democrats want because they think Blacks are stupid and lazy ni%$#rs.
@GodAndtheRepublic The republican party were controlled by liberals until 1968. The republican party was not always conservative. Remember, republicans wore the yankee uniform of the north, and the former dixiecrats were the conservative until 1968. after 1968, the domocrats were no longer the conservative party. and the republicans wore the stars and bars of the confederate south. Both democrat, and republicans were at one time a confideracy.
"don't try to tie old racist democrats to modern democrats" Nobody has to do that. Robert Byrd already ties them. He's old racist democrat who IS a modern democrat.
And please name a Republican who has told those jokes. All the "negro dialect" stuff I hear is coming from the Democrat side. Don't forget, you have to have an Indian accent to go in a 7-11, according to DEMOCRAT VP joe biden.
@12Annuanki12 And you are too blind or stupid to think that Obama or anyone in the modern Democratic Party cares anything about you. What have they done for you?
Issues facing parties and the United States after World War II included the Cold War and the Civil Rights Movement. Republicans attracted conservatives and white Southerners from the Democratic coalition with their resistance to New Deal and Great Society liberalism and the Republicans' use of the Southern strategy. African Americans, who traditionally supported the Republican Party, began supporting Democrats following the ascent of the Franklin Roosevelt administration, the New Deal. READ!
You wish you could prove the Jeff Davis would be a Republican, you ignorant monkey, Democraps demonstrate their racism to you daily, yet you choose to overlook it. They hung black people like laundry on a clothes line! The Raw Deal and The Great Society for Racist Democrat Whites is what they should have called those racist problems established by two of the biggest racists in history. But you don't have two brain cells to rub together to know that Jefferson!
Your history is weak. To southern Democrat racists, the Republican party was the party of black people, had been since 1865, and they wouldn't have been caught DEAD voting Republican. If the racists shifted to the Repub party, then their 'spiritual leader' Byrd would have led the way.
Jefferson Davis aka President of the confederate states was a DEMOCRAT/DIXIECRAT and supported slavery and states rights, now who does that sound like today???? If Jefferson Davis were around today he would be a republican, plain and simple!! The Northern republican Abe Lincoln wanted to abolish slavery. The republican party was a northern party formed in the north but Democrats were mostly southern! Do you think all those Dems moved north??? LMAO No they are republicans now!
If Martin Luther King was a Republican (which I am prepared to take your word for it), he was also a "socialist." By the way, I am a socialist myself. There is nothing inheritly evil about either the Democrats nor the Republicans, but former segregationist Democrats of the South shifted to the Republican Party over the years. Ever heard of Jesse Helms? While I might disagree with most Republicans on most policy issues not related to race, I do not trust southern Republicans in general.
Never forget, King came to his views from the perspective of a humble determined CHRISTIAN who rejected violence and only wanted this country to live up to the standards that it claimed from the beginning.
If he were alive today, his 'socialism' would be too damned conservative for him to be welcome in the REPUBLICAN party, let alone Democrat.

It is no coincidence that apologia for today's GOP racism is as duplicitous as was apologia for racism when Democrats ruled the south.
Trent Lott's Democrat employer in the early 1960s was Rep. William Colmer, a racist leader to make Thurmond blush.
Democrat Colmer voted for Nixon in 1960, Goldwater in '64 and Nixon in '68.
Colmer endorsed his protege when Lott joined the GOP and ran in '72.
In the 1990s, Republican Lott belonged to and raised money for a white supremacist organization.

Ku Klux Klan? In 1872 congressional investigations, Democrats admitted beginning the Klan as an effort to stop the spread of the Republican Party and to re-establish Democratic control in Southern states. As PBS' "American Experience" notes, "In outright defiance of the Republican-led federal government, Southern Democrats formed organizations that violently intimidated blacks and Republicans who tried to win political power... the Ku Klux Klan, was formed in Pulaski, Tenn., in 1865."

When I tried to identify positive aspects of liberalism and conservatism, it did not suggest those qualities were exclusive to that ideology. It merely identified a greater emphasis ma y be placed on that particular quality. If we are to identify when our adversaries take their ideology to irrational extremes at times,we must be honest enough to admit that there can exist an irrational extreme from our side as well. Denying that is tantamount to saying "your excrement stinks, but mine doesn't."

It's a common propagandist attempt to confuse people into believing the lie that conservatism is not the home of white racists. It's a known fact that Republican was originally the liberal party in America until the mid 20th century.

And that's where it sill stands today. The one constant is this: RACISTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CONSERVATIVE.

In 1871, the Republican-controlled 42nd Congress passed a Civil Rights Act aimed at the Ku Klux Klan.
Guilty of murdering hundreds of African-Americans, this terrorist organization had also eradicated the Republican Party throughout most of the South. The law empowered the Republican administration of Ulysses Grant to protect the civil rights of the former slaves in federal court, bypassing the Democrat-controlled state courts.

@KennBurch
The 1871 Civil Rights Act, along with the GOP’s 1870 Civil Rights Act, effectively banned the Klan and enabled Republican officials to arrest hundreds of Klansmen. Though the U.S. Supreme Court would eventually strike down most of the 1871 Civil Rights Act, the Ku Klux Klan was crushed. The KKK did not rise again until the Democratic administration of President Woodrow Wilson, who showed a KKK recruiting film. So the laws were already on the books before the 1920s.

@lakewood78 Untrue. Just ask yourself how many black members of Congress are Republican. Party philosophies change over time. Just in the last 10 years, the right has moved further right. To claim to be like Lincoln or anyone who fought for civil rights is odd because your party just doesn't do that anymore. They're against all things that mandate assisting those who can't help themselves. Everything.
We now know Rand Paul would've voted against Civil Right. Scary.

@demmmmm1 All that I said is true. Progressives have lots of noble words, but their actions speak louder. They don't think blacks are as capable as other people. But blacks are just as capable as whites, Hispanics, Asians and anyone else. I don't have a problem with "assisting those who can't help themselves". All good people do it on their own. I have a problem with "mandate". Progressives don't have a right to mandate who, when and how people help others. That's an individual right.
lakewood78 1 year ago
@lakewood78 First, it's not a "black" issue. It's a "poverty" issue. It's a "class" issue.
See, I don't see why you would even say "blacks are as capable..." That's weird. Of course they are. That's a given. And poor white people are just as capable as affluent black people.
The point is that we ARE NOT taking care of the needy in this country, yet most righties think we're doing too much.
demmmmm1 1 year ago
@demmmmm1 Good point. Conservatives don't think we're doing too much. Conservatives think that when it's done by way of government force and progressive values, it gets done poorly, wastefully and unjustly. Americans should be free to own and control their own lives and property, including their acts of charity. Property taken from working Americans is earned by hours, weeks, months of their labor. Forcing one to work for the benefit of another is servitude and slavery. It's always immoral.
lakewood78 1 year ago
@lakewood78 As far as why I would say something as obvious as, "Blacks are as capable as whites": It's because most white liberal/progressives don't know that (they say it, but don't act like it), and need to be told. But you're right about it being more of a class issue. Conservatives believe Democrat and Republican politicians (the government) shouldn't have the power to make laws and regulations that give advantages to their elite friends and allies at the expense of working class citizens.

Also, On September 9, 1957, Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

The fact that no one knows these FACTS and that it was Eisenhower who during the 1950's (a far less permissive decade than the 1960's) laid the ground work for both the 1964 civil rights act and the 1965 Voting Act is disgraceful.

People were not ready for such a liberal candidate, and people voted nixon as president. Even George Wallace (D) gave his vote over to Nixon (R). so the conservative voter switch parties to the republicans even when many voters still were regestered democrats.

Racist, thos the few that still exist are scattered about both political parties. All we are trying to say is that Most Repubs are not racist. We don't vote based on race. We vote based on principles. There is no proof of any migration of racist people to the repub party. If so Robert Byrd would have joined a long time ago. Also Republicans openly did not back the very racist David Duke. Cont.

When he tried to switch parties. They even went so far as to back johnson the Democrate running against him. Also Republican Party Chairman Jim Nicholson remarked: "There is no room in the party of Lincoln for a Klansman like David Duke." So unless you have solid proof that they are all racists based on the non facts that you have or don't. Stop insinuating that they are unless you have solid evidence, and no being against socialism is not proof of this.

i don't buy that they're 'scattered among both parties".. let's try naming Republican racists and giving evidence. Plenty of evidence against Dems who are walking around RIGHT NOW, even the stupid TV guy Matthews can't stop thinking about how Obama is Black, Reid says he's a Negro, etc etc.. where are racist Repub comments?
Not hearin' em.

"don't try to tie old racist Democrats to modern day Democrats!"
two words... ROBERT BYRD.
The worst of them. STILL a democrat. How do you explain this? Do you forgive him for being a Kleagle in the Klan? Why? Nixon desegregated public schools in 1970! Democrats OPPOSED IT.
I still don't get why Byrd has a free pass on this crap when some Republicans get called racist because they mention black ink on a budget bill.

Old Racists Democrats are historically tied with today's pathetic excuses for Democrats indeed.
Al Gore Snr, Byrd, well these are a few names of White Racist Democrats.

Republicans have done more for Blacks than Democrats ever will. And let us remember that Blacks were given freedom from Republican Party.
Democrats were busy making sure Blacks stay dumb slaves with no rights. Now, Blacks stay dumb in ghettoes, today's plantations, and continue to collect welfare, the new slave master. Keep voting democrat and getting the welfare check. That is what the Democrats want because they think Blacks are stupid and lazy ni%$#rs.

@GodAndtheRepublic The republican party were controlled by liberals until 1968. The republican party was not always conservative. Remember, republicans wore the yankee uniform of the north, and the former dixiecrats were the conservative until 1968. after 1968, the domocrats were no longer the conservative party. and the republicans wore the stars and bars of the confederate south. Both democrat, and republicans were at one time a confideracy.

"don't try to tie old racist democrats to modern democrats" Nobody has to do that. Robert Byrd already ties them. He's old racist democrat who IS a modern democrat.
And please name a Republican who has told those jokes. All the "negro dialect" stuff I hear is coming from the Democrat side. Don't forget, you have to have an Indian accent to go in a 7-11, according to DEMOCRAT VP joe biden.

@12Annuanki12 And you are too blind or stupid to think that Obama or anyone in the modern Democratic Party cares anything about you. What have they done for you?

Issues facing parties and the United States after World War II included the Cold War and the Civil Rights Movement. Republicans attracted conservatives and white Southerners from the Democratic coalition with their resistance to New Deal and Great Society liberalism and the Republicans' use of the Southern strategy. African Americans, who traditionally supported the Republican Party, began supporting Democrats following the ascent of the Franklin Roosevelt administration, the New Deal. READ!

You wish you could prove the Jeff Davis would be a Republican, you ignorant monkey, Democraps demonstrate their racism to you daily, yet you choose to overlook it. They hung black people like laundry on a clothes line! The Raw Deal and The Great Society for Racist Democrat Whites is what they should have called those racist problems established by two of the biggest racists in history. But you don't have two brain cells to rub together to know that Jefferson!

12annuanki12,
Your history is weak. To southern Democrat racists, the Republican party was the party of black people, had been since 1865, and they wouldn't have been caught DEAD voting Republican. If the racists shifted to the Repub party, then their 'spiritual leader' Byrd would have led the way.

Jefferson Davis aka President of the confederate states was a DEMOCRAT/DIXIECRAT and supported slavery and states rights, now who does that sound like today???? If Jefferson Davis were around today he would be a republican, plain and simple!! The Northern republican Abe Lincoln wanted to abolish slavery. The republican party was a northern party formed in the north but Democrats were mostly southern! Do you think all those Dems moved north??? LMAO No they are republicans now!

If Martin Luther King was a Republican (which I am prepared to take your word for it), he was also a "socialist." By the way, I am a socialist myself. There is nothing inheritly evil about either the Democrats nor the Republicans, but former segregationist Democrats of the South shifted to the Republican Party over the years. Ever heard of Jesse Helms? While I might disagree with most Republicans on most policy issues not related to race, I do not trust southern Republicans in general.

Never forget, King came to his views from the perspective of a humble determined CHRISTIAN who rejected violence and only wanted this country to live up to the standards that it claimed from the beginning.
If he were alive today, his 'socialism' would be too damned conservative for him to be welcome in the REPUBLICAN party, let alone Democrat.
