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

@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!

@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.

LBJ would refer to the bill as "The Nigger Bill" so yeah he was racist.

[hotstimuli]

This is just a ploy to say the republicans aren't racist. Anyone who knows history knows the republicans and democrats truly switched roles.

the south until the mid to late 60s.

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

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.

Roosevelt's son moved to Calif. after the war and supported Reagan for Governor in 1968!

So yes it is a possibility that FDR would have been a Republican today.

My grandfather was a die hard FDR Democrat and an elected official of the county for a long period of his life.

Virtually everyone of his descendants are Republicans.

The Democrats of today are not the same as the Democrats of even the 1960's.
