Where did he ever claim Goldwater said that?My parents and grandparents were Republicans back in the 50's and early 60's.
They gave the middle finger to that party when Barry Goldwater opposed the civil rights act of 1964, which contributed to Johnson winning by a landslide, then he further insulted the intelligence of black voters by justifying his position, claiming that the civil rights act was a "government overreach".
They are all politicians and are dirty on both sides, and black citizens would be far better off just focusing more on local elections that have an immediate impact on their self interest.
There will never be another black POTUS in America again.
After what Obama endured, what sane black person would even want to be president of this country?
Why do you assume that Barry Goldwater was not sincere in his concerns about government overreach?
Where did I state that I didn't think he was sincere about his concerns?
It appears that you "assumed" what I think.
Obviously he was more concerned with "government overreach" than he was the rights of people.
Funny how the government was not overreaching when it was making laws to segregate and provide whites with extra rights.
Show me where Barry Goldwater said that, or admit that you are a filthy liar.
Goldwater did say let the states decide on their own Civil Rights
We were talking about Barry Goldwater and the republican party. No republican I know of, opposed the Civil Rights Bill that we were talking about, as "overreach" while supporting segregation and/or Jim Crow.
It was certainly never the platform of the Party.
If he was not talking about Goldwater, then who was he talking about, and why? Perhaps he should have explained if he was completely changing the subject and why.
If he was.
