Hmmm, besides Thurmond since the start of the civil rights movementThey died off and/or were replaced by racist GOPers DUHHHH. 1966-1980....Oh, THAT CRA. And of course LBJ and the Dem CRA of 1964 was what sent all the racist Southern conservatives over to the New BS GOP where they are today. Read some history ferchissake...CRA was proposed by Dems and signed by Carter. It tried to end redlining by banks so WORTHY minorities in bad areas could get mortgages. It wasn't until 2003 that unworthy clients were able to get loans from corrupt GOP crony private lenders under corrupt crony Booooshie regulators. Great job!
That's what you get if your main source of information is Comedy Central. Republicans were fighting for Civil Rights since Republican party, while Democrats were always on opposite side).
Every single CRA proposed by Republicans was to eliminate racist Democrat's policies (slavery, segregation, lynching, voting rights, Jim Crow laws).
Civil Rights Act of 1866 - proposed by republicans, vetoed by Andrew Johnson (D).
Civil Rights Act of 1875 - proposed by republicans, signed by Ulysses Grant (R). Overturned by SCOTUS in 1883 and led to Jim Crow laws enforced by democrats.
Civil Rights Act of 1957 - proposed by republicans, signed by Dwight Eisenhower (R). (House vote: Republicans 167–19, Democrats 118–107; Senate vote: Republicans 43–0, Democrats 29–18)
Civil Rights Act of 1960 - proposed by republicans, signed by Dwight Eisenhower (R). (House vote: Republicans 132–15, Democrats 179–93; Senate vote: Republicans 35–0, Democrats 47–18)
Civil Rights Act of 1964 - proposed by Kennedy (D) (extension of CRA from 1957 and 1960), signed by Lyndon Johnson (D) who opposed every previous CRA act. (House vote: Republicans 136–35, Democrats 153–91; Senate vote: Republicans 27–6, Democrats 46–21).
Since you know history, it wont be a problem for you to name five racist Democrats who switched the side to racist Republican party.
I asked you that earlier, but you either ignored it, or you can't find five names. Which one is it?
You said: "CRA of 1964 was what sent all the racist Southern conservatives (democrats) over to the New BS GOP where they are today."
