"From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that...but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats."
To complete the education of the liberal left.
BLACK POLITICAL HISTORY: THE UNTOLD STORY
NOTE: All answers are "b."
50 years ago, and going back quite a ways, a Southern conservative was likely to be a Democrat. They were big supporters of states rights, virulently anti-communist, waved a lot of Confederate flags around, hated big government, and oppressed minorities.
Today, a Southern conservative is likely to be a Republican.
"...the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans."
A Republican prediction.
Thus endeth the history lesson.
There is a reason you have to call Republicans support of minorities "history". And that is because they no longer do.
With the exception of a few lines, you just cut and pasted wholesale Wikipedia and Factcheck.It is amazing how the Republicans were the party that did the most for minorities, but the Democrats try and take credit for it.

Didn't even give them credit for using that information word for word.
Nice job.![]()
13th amendment: abolished slavery
100% republican support, 23% democrat support
14th amendment: gave citizenship to freed slaves
94% republican support, 0% democrat support
15th amendment: right to vote for all
100% republican support, 0% democrat support
Obamacare
0% republican support
100% democrat support
Need I say more?![]()
Those are remarkable statistics
They show when Republicans used to actually care about Americans
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, you are certainly on a roll today, have you considered stand-up?
“I’ll have those n....s voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” —Lyndon B. Johnson to two governors on Air Force One -
“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”—LBJ
Now obviously we live in a different time and if those words were spoken by a Republican the outrage would be nuclear.
But have things really changed? How about this statement:
4. “You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking!” – Joe Biden, Vice President
5. “I mean you’ve got the first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and nice-looking guy.” – Joe Biden, Vice President
6. “[Harry Reid] was wowed by Obama’s oratorical gifts and believed the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as a Obama — a ‘light-skinned’ African American with ‘no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.’” – Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader, as quoted in the book Game Change
6 Horribly Racist Comments from Obama Administration Officials
(On Clarence Thomas) "A handkerchief-head, chicken-and-biscuit-eating Uncle Tom." -- Spike Lee
"He's married to a white woman. He wants to be white. He wants a colorless society. He has no ethnic pride. He doesn't want to be black."
-- California State Senator Diane Watson's on Ward Connerly's interracial marriage
There are lots and lots more and I am sure you will come back with something some conservative might have said. But remember it is you accusing the right of being racist.
That all said, here is real scum making a racist comment that you approved of by your support. Too bad for you a Republican candidate for president didn't expose his racism so clearly.

Topics like this are for self-deluded fools who try to convince themselves what is no longer true for the Republican Party. Minorities don't swallow this piss. Only deluded ignorant white people do.
The actual actions of the Republican Party convince minorities of what the realities on the ground are as to who supports them.
So let's fire up some more darkies-behaving-badly topics and keep bashing Muslims and homos, shall we? And don't forget your Voter ID!
The fact is that the Civil Rights Act and Voting Act of 1964 and 1965 were passed by large majorities of northern and western Democrats (majority party) and Republicans (minority party) against the negative vote of the overwhelming majority of southern Democrats and Republicans.

Means nothing as the southern GOP voted almost unanimously against the acts; can't get away from that.

Grand Total: THREE REPUBLICANS.
THREE.
*note again this was compiled pre-2010 elections. Since then a few more added, including the one termer West, and the Senator that was installed by the Governor (not elected as Senator)
The fact is the Democrats controlled congress and the fact remains the Democrats were the majority party of NO on Civil Rights Act of 1964.

10 vs 87? Wow! That far left math is in play here again.
No matter which way the 10 voted it would not have countered the 87 Democrats (in the south) that voted it down, thus proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Democrats were the party of NO on civil rights.
