Happy Anniversary, Bobby!

Every good thing that has happened in this country was because of the work of liberals.
Conservatives always fought them tooth and nail.
That's why I'm a proud liberal. View attachment 133489

You quote a tv show and expect us to take you seriously.

Democrats held a greater majority in the Southern States and while their percentage was small the Republicans in those states voted against it as well. Most of the no votes on both sides came from those 11 states.

It took the Republicans voting for cloture to end the filibuster. The Southern Block didn't have enough votes to block cloture. So they must have has support elsewhere. 83 days you say?

Ooooh, fun with fractions shows that a smaller percentage of Dems voted for the Act than did Reps. Period.
How many days was that Democratic led filibuster trying to keep the act from coming up to a vote? Oh, that's right, 83 days!

Speaking of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, let’s review (since they don’t teach this in schools): The percentage of House Democrats who supported the legislation? 61 percent. House Republicans? 80 percent. In the Senate, 69 percent of Democrats voted yes, compared with 82 percent of Republicans


"The gallery was packed on June 10, 1964, as all one hundred senators were present for the climactic moment of the longest filibuster in Senate history. Late in the morning Everett Dirksen (R) rose from his seat to address the Senate. In poor health, drained from working fourteen-, fifteen-, and sixteen-hour days, his words came quietly. "There are many reasons why cloture should be invoked and a good civil rights measure enacted. It is said that on the night he died, Victor Hugo wrote in his diary substantially this sentiment, 'Stronger than all the armies is an idea whose time has come.' The time has come for equality of opportunity in sharing of government, in education, and in employment. It must not be stayed or denied." After Dirksen spoke for fifteen minutes the motion for a roll call vote for cloture was heard. As each name was read, members of the press and spectators in the gallery kept tally. At 11:15 a.m., Senator John Williams (R)of Delaware replied "aye" to the question. It was the sixty-seventh vote; cloture had passed, opening the way for the Civil Rights bill to be passed. After successfully defeating the eighty-three-day filibuster, Dirksen, when asked how he had become a crusader in this cause, replied, "I am involved in mankind, and whatever the skin, we are all included in mankind.""

Ooooh fun with fractions huh?

By party and region[edit]
Note: "Southern", as used in this section, refers to members of Congress from the eleven states that made up the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. "Northern" refers to members from the other 39 states, regardless of the geographic location of those states.[23]

The original House version:

• Southern Democrats: 8–87 (7–93%)
• Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)
• Northern Democrats: 145–9 (94–6%)
• Northern Republicans: 138–24 (85–15%)

The Senate version

• Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5–95%) (only Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
• Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0–100%) (John Tower of Texas)
• Northern Democrats: 45–1 (98–2%) (only Robert Byrd of West Virginia voted against)
• Northern Republicans: 27–5 (84–16%)

Civil Rights Act of 1964 - Wikipedia

Looks like the North was imposing it's will on the South again. But looks can be deceiving, it was really the rest of the country verse the South (Confederate States).

"The Democrats have been sedulously rewriting history for decades. Their preferred version pretends that all of the Democratic racists and segregationists left their party and became Republicans starting in the 1960s. How convenient. If it were true that the South began to turn Republican due to Lyndon Johnson’s passage of the Civil Rights Act, you would expect that the Deep South, the states most associated with racism, would have been the first to move. That’s not what happened. The first southern states to trend Republican were on the periphery: North Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Tennessee and Florida. (George Wallace lost these voters in his 1968 bid.) The voters who first migrated to the Republican Party were suburban, prosperous “New South” types. The more Republican the South has become the less racist."

A few days late, but time does fly.

On This Day in 1964, Democrats Filibustered the Civil Rights Act

BBbut they were really republicans don't ya know? Somewhere...I think about 1966 dems became republicans and republicans became dems....or so the leftist clowns try to make you believe

Goddamnit why do conservatives keep brining up the fact that Dem's were racist Klan members and voted to keep the black man down? I hate it when the right expose Dem lies and hypocrisy.

What party controls the southern block of states?

Which states legislators tried to block the Civil Right Bill?

Civil Rights was a North/South issue

When the Dems sold out on Civil Rights, the South went Republican for good. Since that time, it is Republicans who have opposed affirmative action, busing, minority set asides and defended the Confederacy

Multiculturalism is an invitation for a divided society. It's fine to be proud of a person's culture, but to come here they left it. We have an American culture and people need to assimilate into it. Learn the language and traditions of their host nation, otherwise will cause them to be isolated from the greater (larger) society. Look how multiculturalism and isolation has worked in Europe (France, Belgium, Germany, anyone?).

America always was a "melting pot" where we all become one people. Multiculturalism is contrary to that ideal. If we have a thousand different cultures (societies), we become a fractured nation and turmoil can, and will, eventually ensue.

People should come to America to be Americans.

Who the hell are you to tell people how to live?
