More "Conservatives" opposed the Civil Rights Act...Ok, let me type this slower. MORE DEMOCRATS OPPOSED the civil rights act, than republicans. Only a few republicans opposed it. There was almost as many democrat NEA votes, as their was republicans in the House. As in ALL of the republicans.
Apparently not. You can't even understand a simple vote count.
Yeah right, whiney. Tell that to the rich black folks who worked hard, within the system, didn't whine or cry about oppression, and made their fortunes.
My my, you're turning into a crybaby.
There is a reason dumb asses like you never back up anything you say with any evidence....
But I do....
Number of Democrats in the House who voted yes for the Civil Rights Act....152......votes against....96.....Total number of overall House votes in favor... 290.....Total number of overall House votes against....130...
In the Senate......Number of Democrats who voted yes for the Civil Rights Act....46.....Total number of overall votes in favor... 73.....Total number of overall votes against....27....
What did most people who opposed the Civil Rights bill give as a reason to oppose it? They said it was too radical...they claimed it violated states rights....as in states rights to discriminate against people of color.....they even called it Communism...everything under the sun...

And the rhetoric hasn't really changed all that much, since.....Same shit Conservatives call everything they don't like now...
