LBJ’s Democratic Plantation › American Greatness

there is a man who, according to a memo filed by FBI agent William Branigan, seems to have been in the Ku Klux Klan. This memo was only revealed in recent months, with the release of the JFK Files.


Lyndon Johnson opposed every civil rights proposal considered in his first 20 years as lawmaker

"He had been a congressman, beginning in 1937, for eleven years, and for eleven years he had voted against every civil rights bill –

against not only legislation aimed at ending the poll tax and segregation in the armed services but even against legislation aimed at ending lynching: a one hundred percent record," Caro wrote.


"Running for the Senate in 1948, he had assailed President" Harry "Truman’s entire civil rights program (‘an effort to set up a police state’)…Until 1957, in the Senate, as in the House, his record – by that time a twenty-year record – against civil rights had been consistent," Caro wrote.

The Party of Civil Rights

The depth of Johnson’s prior opposition to civil-rights reform must be digested in some detail to be properly appreciated.

In the House, he did not represent a particularly segregationist constituency (it “made up for being less intensely segregationist than the rest of the South by being more intensely anti-Communist,” as the New York Times put it), but Johnson was practically antebellum in his views.

Never mind civil rights or voting rights: In Congress, Johnson had consistently and repeatedly voted against legislation to protect black Americans from lynching.


As a leader in the Senate, Johnson did his best to cripple the Civil Rights Act of 1957; not having votes sufficient to stop it, he managed to reduce it to an act of mere symbolism by excising the enforcement provisions before sending it to the desk of President Eisenhower.


Johnson’s Democratic colleague Strom Thurmond nonetheless went to the trouble of staging the longest filibuster in history up to that point, speaking for 24 hours in a futile attempt to block the bill. The reformers came back in 1960 with an act to remedy the deficiencies of the 1957 act, and Johnson’s Senate Democrats again staged a record-setting filibuster.

In both cases, the “master of the Senate” petitioned the northeastern Kennedy liberals to credit him for having seen to the law’s passage while at the same time boasting to southern Democrats that he had taken the teeth out of the legislation.



Johnson would later explain his thinking thus: “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.”

Goldwater.....the Civil Rights hero.......

Barry M. Goldwater: The Most Consequential Loser in American Politics

Goldwater treated all people the same. As a private citizen, he flew mercy missions to Navaho reservations, never asking for recognition or accepting payment. He felt that “the red man seemed as much—if not more—a part of Arizona and America as any white or black person.”[20] Moreover, a few weeks after Goldwater was discharged from the Army in November 1945, Democratic Arizona Governor Sidney Preston Osborn asked him to organize the Arizona Air National Guard. One of Goldwater’s first recommendations, soon approved, was to desegregate the unit. Goldwater’s integration of the state’s Air National Guard took place more than two years before President Harry Truman integrated the U.S. armed forces.

Goldwater was an early member of the Arizona chapters of both the NAACP and the National Urban League, even making up the latter’s operating deficit when it was getting started. Later as a Senator, he desegregated the Senate cafeteria in 1953, demanding that his black legislative assistant, Kathrine Maxwell, be served along with every other Senate employee after learning she had been denied service.

In the mid-1970s, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, investigating improper operations of the intelligence community in the United States, proposed that transcripts of the FBI tapes about Martin Luther King Jr.’s alleged indiscretions be published. An outraged Goldwater declared he would not be a party to destroying King’s reputation and strode out of the committee room. A fellow Senator recalled that Goldwater’s protest “injected some common sense into the proceedings,” and the electronic surveillance transcripts were not released.[21]

That his opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was based on constitutional grounds and not political considerations was underscored in the final week of the fall campaign.

Speaking in Columbia, South Carolina, Goldwater condemned segregation and declared that government must treat “all men as equal in the arena of law and civil order.”[22] He pledged if elected President to implement all provisions of the act. His forthright pro-civil rights speech was televised on 87 stations throughout the South.

As for the Republican nominee's position on the Civil Rights Act, Goldwater had said he would vote for passage if Section II on public accommodations and Section VII on equal employment opportunity were removed. With his view reinforced by a detailed memorandum from Phoenix lawyer and future Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Goldwater felt these sections were unconstitutional, were unenforceable without a federal police force, and would lead to the creation of racial quotas and affirmative action.

"He was absolutely right about [the two sections of the Civil Rights Act] and they did lead to precisely what Goldwater and most conservatives were afraid of," said Tom Winter, then executive editor of Human Events, who would join Ryskind as its co-owner a year later. As for the "extremism in the defense of liberty" speech, Winter recalled watching it from a San Francisco restaurant "and cheering it because it was clearly about freedom and fighting communism. I certainly didn't think it had anything to do with race."

https://freedomsjournalinstitute.org/uncategorized/urban-legend-goldwater-against-civil-rights/

More specifically, Goldwater had problems with title II and title VII of the 1964 bill. He felt that constitutionally the federal government had no legal right to interfere in who people hired, fired; or to whom they sold their products, goods and services. He felt that “power” laid in the various states, and with the people. He was a strong advocate of the tenth amendment. Goldwater’s constitutional stance did not mean he agreed with the segregation and racial discrimination practiced in the South. To the contrary, he fought against these kinds of racial divides in his own state of Arizona. He supported the integration of the Arizona National guard and Phoenix public schools.[4] Goldwater was, also, a member of the NAACP and the Urban League.[5]
His personal feelings about discrimination are enshrined in the congressional record where he states, “I am unalterably opposed to discrimination or segregation on the basis of race, color, or creed or on any other basis; not only my words, but more importantly my actions through years have repeatedly demonstrated the sincerity of my feeling in this regard…”[6]. And, he would continued to holdfast to his strongly felt convictions that constitutionally the federal government was limited in what it could do, believing that the amoral actions of those perpetuating discrimination and segregation would have to be judged by those in that community. Eventually, the states government and local communities would come to pressure people to change their minds. Goldwater’s view was that the civil disobedience by private citizens against those business establishments was more preferable than intervention by the feds. He, optimistically, believed that racial intolerance would soon buckle under the economic and societal pressure.

So let me get this straight.....


The side who was pushing to get Civil Rights and Voting Rights passed were racist....

And the side who voted against Civil Rights and Voting Rights and basically any federal enforcement of constitutional rights for black people -- those are the heroes?


View attachment 781866



Guess that is why black voters all but abandoned the Republican Party after Goldwater was nominated...it's almost like policies matter.....

At least you are admitting what most other of you right-wing morons try to deny.....that Conservatives HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AGAINST CIVIL RIGHTS.....

You moron....you don't even know the fucking history........

The democrat party opposed all of the Civil Rights acts until the last one in 1964 when Johnson realized they had to finally get on board, or lose national elections.....you dumb shit.....

Again........

Johnson vs. Goldwater....

Gold Water was the Civil Rights hero.........blacks sold their children's futures to johnson and the racist democrats...

[jc456]

Can you explain to us then how Republicans went from being the party that gave us civil rights and voting rights to doing this to black people in Alabama

In doing so, the court — which has a 6-3 conservative majority — turned away the state’s effort to make it harder to remedy concerns raised by civil rights advocates that the power of Black voters in states like Alabama is being diluted by dividing voters into districts where white voters dominate.

the map violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act by discriminating against Black voters.

The new map created one district out of seven in the state in which Black voters would likely be able to elect a candidate of their choosing. The challengers say that the state, which has a population that is more than a quarter Black, should have two such districts and provided evidence that such a district could be drawn.

A lower court agreed in a ruling last January, saying that under Supreme Court precedent, the plaintiffs had shown that Alabama’s Black population was both large enough and sufficiently compact for there to be a second majority-Black district. The court ordered a new map to be drawn

So the same white racists we see in the movies when they turn away black people from voting, are using other tactics to not give blacks fair representation in the government.

The case in Alabama illustrates the Southern Strategy is real. White Republicans in the south are to this day still fucking with black people. Stop it.

Supreme Court backs landmark voting rights law, strikes down Alabama congressional map

The justices threw out Republican-drawn congressional districts that a lower court said discriminated against Black voters.

www.nbcnews.com

The Supreme Court only gave us liberals this because their image is very bad right now with Clarence Thomas and Harlan Crow, Clarence's wife, Roe V Wade, the EPA. This court is clearly a right wing court legislating from the bench. Something Republicans accused us of doing before Trump appointed 3 right wing nutjobs to the high court.

I do enjoy posting the facts unlike you!

www.nbcnews.com

Why was eliminating voting districts based on race the main motivation of Conservatives? and it has been that way for the entire history of this country......



even when your cult leader was lying about the election being stolen....why was it he only target majority black voting precincts and tried to have their votes thrown out??

"The past two days in Wisconsin and Michigan have seen two Republican efforts to dismiss or question the vote total in Milwaukee and Detroit, while trusting the vote count in rural, majority-white counties in both states."

Oh I know why...because that is what Conservatives have done going back to the days of Re-Construction..

"The tide, in terms of white society, was running in the direction of what we would later call the "solid South." Even if you were not political, and even if you were not officially affiliated with the Republican Party, you would have been pressured in some way or the other to be silent......Any association with blackness was deemed to be socially unacceptable in Southern society; that to be associated with black people, and to be associated with them politically, was enough to have you declared a "race traitor" or a "****** lover;" and that this was a very powerful psychological threat that could be mobilized against people who made any effort to ally themselves with black people."

Still can't refute a single word I said huh?

Please tell me why every policy initiative that came from the Civil Rights movement are all policies opposed by Conservatives then and opposed by Conservatives now??


Please tell me why Conservatives are the ones who just got their attempt to weaken the Voting Rights Act struck down by a 5-4 margin on a 6-3 Conservative court? And what decision did that ruling uphold??


"Under Supreme Court precedent, the plaintiffs had shown that Alabama’s Black population was both large enough and sufficiently compact for there to be a second majority-Black district."

I love it when Conservatives take credit for what the Liberal Wing of their party accomplished while condemning the actions of Conservative Democrats

The same guys today crying about Democrat Robert E Lee's statues and the confederate flag are the same people who gave us civil rights?

I clearly remember growing up it was Republicans who HATED celebrating that coon MLK's Birthday.

So Ida B Wells was a conservative?

Ida B Wells: the unsung heroine of the civil rights movement

The pioneering African American reporter counted, investigated and reported lynchings in America as no one had done before

www.theguardian.com

And if you ask "Who is Ida B Wells" -- you prove my point.....


Conservatives don't know shit about the people who actually fought for Civil Rights....but they definitely love praising the people OPPOSED it......which is why they can't slap that Confederate dick out their mouth...

Are you really this dumb?

Barry Goldwater was a Civil Rights hero.....you have been brainwashed by the democrat party to think he was a racist, when he obviously wasn't. The actual racist, and likely klan member, was LBJ........who literally voted against every single Civil Rights Act, and the anti-lynching law when he was in Congress......you dumb ass...

I know that's not true because I'm a Democrat and you racist Republicans are racist. And you try to pretend to be color blind. Meanwhile you murder 11 year old black boys, you are recorded saying you miss the days you could lynch blacks, you gerrymander blacks, you hate MLK day, you love confederate flags

You're a fool. Let me peg you

You also love assult rifles, want to build a wall, deny global warming, anti vax, pro trump the con man, hate trannies in bathrooms.

No....you fucking moron......

The democrats lynched blacks......the democrats created literacy tests and poll taxes.........You idiots voted for LBJ, the racist, and voted against the Civil Rights hero Barry Goldwater.....

You are the ones who allow the democrat party teachers to destroy the lives of black children when they refuse to actually teach them reading and math....

The democrat party President, barak obama, and the congressional black caucus hosted racist, anti-semite louis farakhan at a dinner.........obama sat in a racist, anti-semitic church for 20 years and called the pastor, jeremiah wright, a good friend, who actually married him and michelle and baptized his kids......and obama hosted racist, and anti-semite al sharpton at the White House and democrat party Presidential candidates have to go and kiss his ring....

You want men dressed as women in bathrooms with little girls?

Really?

You are an idiot.
