Great Moments in Democrat Racist History-- the 1964 vote Count

Liberals often insist that somehow, magically, between the 50s and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the racist Dems and the reforming freedom-loving Republicans 'switched places' and Republicans were now the evil racists. This video addresses that goofy notion. Be sure to check out the blog at http://theblacksphere.blogspot.com

The preceding quote was made by Dr King during the early days of the Civil Rights movement. It attests to the fact that there were Conservatives in BOTH parties working against equal rights for Blacks. At the very same time, there also were Liberal and moderate members of BOTH parties who supported equal rights for Blacks.

Once you said that David Duke is a Liberal, it rendered everything else you said irrelevant. I suggest you learn some 20th Century US history from historians who have no political agenda rather than from right-wing propagandists.

Why don't you contact Duke and ask him if he wasor is, a Liberal? lol

Theres a big difference from the 1960s and now. Dems back then weren't liberal, they were Dixiecrats and kkk members just like in the 1860s. LBJ was a moderate racist. Nows its different. Most Democrats are ultra liberal ex hippies who smoked pot and dropped acid.

That was trashy. You threw numbers into our faces the whole time. And the definitions of democrat and republican have changed several times in history. It was a racist group that started the kkk. Abraham lincoln was a liberal. Now props to the republicans in senate who voted yes on the act. But you shared to little facts. st

Staunch Republican?

It's funny that Kevin Jackson is such a shameless fact manipulator that he ignores that Martin Luther King repeatedly said he never was a member of either party and his wife& children have reiterated the same in the years since his death.

Jackson also ignores the fact that the Conservative Republican presidential candidate that same year, 1964, Sen. Barry Goldwater was one of the Senators who voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Deal with THAT.
