A Democrat pushed for the legislation and signed it into lawthe ignorance is yours:
From Wikipedia:
Democratic Party: 152–96 (61–39%)
Republican Party: 138–34 (80–20%)
Cloture in the Senate:
Democratic Party: 44–23 (66–34%)
Republican Party: 27–6 (82–18%)
The Senate version:
Democratic Party: 46–21 (69–31%)
Republican Party: 27–6 (82–18%)
The Senate version, voted on by the House:
Democratic Party: 153–91 (63–37%)
Republican Party: 136–35 (80–20%)
Every number there shows the Democratic Party majority FOR The Civil Rights bill.
You said: But at the time that the civil rights act was passed most of the dems were opposed to it.
Jesus Christ.
Do not call me the name of our savior, Jesus Christ. I am not worthy of that name.
The facts show that a larger % of republicans voted for it than dems. Dems filibustered it, republicans passed it. LBJ tried to use it for political gain by lying about it.
you cannot change history as much as you would like to.
You said most Democrats voted against it.
You either lied or you can't read. Which is it?
Let me correct the record. A larger % of republicans voted for it than democrats. Democrats fillibustered it. Happy now?
LBJ? LOL. "I'll have them ni66ers voting democrat for the next 200 years". If you think LBJ was liberal on race, you are very naïve.
