it's a secret? I learned about it in history class in the 8th grade (during the 1960s)
Bullshit. The Republican party was created to end slavery. We're the same party. Democrats simply switched rhetoric, and like always, tried to blame their evil on their only competition.....Republicans. I know it seems confusing to a brain-washed Democrat, but there are still millions of racist Democrats in your party. Some are white and some are black. Many are Democrats because they hate white people.The SECRET history of the Democratic party?
Since when is it a secret that the modern day Republican party evolved out of the southern faction of the Democratic party of 60 years ago?
Repeating that lie over and over won't make it any less a lie.Demographics can only save Democrats from their racist strategies for so long....Exactly what is supposed to be 'secret' about history?
It's only secret to those who don't know it .. and its only relevant in the modern-era by comparing with how both parties have flipped.
The Republican Party began as an anti-slavery party .. but today, it's the home for racists.
Anyone up for comparing where both parties are today .. especially given the precarious position the Republican Party is in today BECAUSE of its racist strategy known as the 'Southern Strategy" .. which has put them on a path to becoming the Whigs. :0)
Anyone?
Your enemy is demographics.
Republican hate of everyone is back to bite them in the ass.. and it's only going to get worse for them.

What lie? :0) That changing demographics is your enemy?
That your ignorant sect of racist assholes is dwindling
.. or that it's only going to get worse for you stupid motherfuckers? Which is it?
None of it is a lie, nor my retelling of the history of both parties.
It doesn't go without notice that you failed to address where both parties are today and how they got there. Care to step up .. or is butt-hurt whining all you have?
the left has spent many years
trying to airbrush history
to make it appear as if the Republicans are the the slave holders
18 Democrats tried to filibuster it and prevent a vote.Bullshit. The Republican party was created to end slavery. We're the same party.

The Republican Party, which had never won the South since 1872, suddenly,
AFTER the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by liberal Democrats, has won the South almost every election since.
You'll never understand it. You can't even figure out which state to pretend you're from.
So are you saying that all of the evil Republicans who switched parties were originally Dummycraps...because that's what it looks like you're saying?the left has spent many years

NOBODY is 'airbrushing' history but you knuckleheads on the right. :0) Intellectualism is no where to be found in the minds of right-wingers. It just isn't there.
Start from here .. which party celebrates all the evil vestiges of slavery .. like the rebel flag?
See how easy that was? That alone destroys all the 8th grade bullshit 'logic' you knuckleheads have been spouting in this thread.
Here's the good news. :0) Even you braindead crybabies RUN from the word 'racist.' You know damn well that you clowns are racist .. but you RUN from it. :0) You Run like chickens. I don't see everything posted on this site, but I have no doubt that 90%, if not all racist shit said here comes from posters on the Right/republicans .. not the Left, not democrats.
When republicans employed the Southern Strategy, racism found a home .. and dixiecrats became republicans. Blacks who were republicans became democrats because the Republican Party no longer them. Racism became the driving force throughout the Republican Party .. and it was the Democratic Party that took up the challenge of Civil Rights. All the stupid shit republicans are spouting in this thread is pure nonsense.
Finally, it's not like planet earth doesn't know what's behind all this whining about your ugly ass history and black people. :0) Republicans are facing their own self-inflicted demise. You've already been reduced to nothing more then by-standers in presidential elections. :0) Can't elect a president, can't control the Supreme Court, can't stop democrats frpm progressive legislation .. America keeps getting browner. :0)
Republicans would have been much smarter to remain true to their roots and reject the evil knocking on their doors.

.
When the bill came before the full Senate for debate on March 30, 1964, the "Southern Bloc" of 18 southern Democratic Senators and one Republican Senator led by Richard Russell (D-GA) launched a filibuster to prevent its passage.[14] Said Russell: "We will resist to the bitter end any measure or any movement which would have a tendency to bring about social equality and intermingling and amalgamation of the races in our (Southern) states."[15]
The most fervent opposition to the bill came from Senator Strom Thurmond (D-SC): "This so-called Civil Rights Proposals, which the President has sent to Capitol Hill for enactment into law, are unconstitutional, unnecessary, unwise and extend beyond the realm of reason. This is the worst civil-rights package ever presented to the Congress and is reminiscent of the Reconstruction proposals and actions of the radical Republican Congress."[16]
After 54 days of filibuster, Senators Everett Dirksen (R-IL), Thomas Kuchel (R-CA), Hubert Humphrey (D-MN), and Mike Mansfield (D-MT) introduced a substitute bill that they hoped would attract enough Republican swing votes to end the filibuster. The compromise bill was weaker than the House version in regard to government power to regulate the conduct of private business, but it was not so weak as to cause the House to reconsider the legislation.[17]
On the morning of June 10, 1964, Senator Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) completed a filibustering address that he had begun 14 hours and 13 minutes earlier opposing the legislation. Until then, the measure had occupied the Senate for 57 working days, including six Saturdays. A day earlier, Democratic Whip Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, the bill's manager, concluded he had the 67 votes required at that time to end the debate and end the filibuster. With six wavering senators providing a four-vote victory margin, the final tally stood at 71 to 29. Never in history had the Senate been able to muster enough votes to cut off a filibuster on a civil rights bill. And only once in the 37 years since 1927 had it agreed to cloture for any measure.[18]

And it's pretty damned clear who is really racist here. You alluded to it when you said us, meaning white people, are dwindling. Meaning you hope you flood this country with non-citizens so you can push the dominant white culture that exists into history, never to be seen again. You forget that the only reason those non-whites are coming here is because 1. Democrats are offering them goodies and 2. Their own countries are total shitholes. Trust me, I've been in some of them. I wouldn't want you live their either.

I think your whole point is that the Republicans have NEVER done things to hurt the minorities as have the democrats. Yes, when LBJ saw that the blacks were gaining in numbers he saw that he had to give the uppity.....n......s a little something, and did, with Republican help.
Depends on what the definition of hurting them means to you. If you feel that hurting them is getting the same treatment everyone else gets instead of special treatment, then I guess so. If you think forcing them to vote only once instead of multiple times is hurting them, then I guess so. If you feel that making all lives matter is hurting them, then I guess so. If you feel that arresting them when they break the law is hurting them, then I guess so.18 Democrats tried to filibuster it and prevent a vote.Bullshit.

None or no one, that is who. Your implication is a complete left wing fabrication.
You are right, that the right is too scared to say much. But I find this interesting that you call out the right but ignore the left.
if not all racist shit said here comes from posters on the Right/republicans .. not the Left, not democrats.
Who call blacks "super predators." Democrat
Who said that blacks need to be brought to heel. Democrat
Who said that a few years ago Obama would be serving him coffee. Democrat.
Who implied that all blacks before Obama were not clean and not articulate? Democrat
Who made a joke out of working in a gas station and being from India? Democrat
Who made the comment about Obama: “light-skinned” and speaking“with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.” Democrat
Who asked a man with an Indian descent, if he were a member of the Taliban? Democrat
Who said that they wished Nikki Haley would go back to the country she came from because her parents are from India? Democrat
who made the joke about Dunkin Doughnuts and having to be Indian to work there? Democrat.
Who called his own grandmother, "a typical white person?" Democrat
There are lots more but you should get the point and if you don't I really don't see where more would do any good.

they were just bad pieces of legislation that served no purpose other than to score some political points...?????
Whew, that's at least honest.
I don't know what history books you read, but it's quite well known that the South was Democrat back then and continued to be heavily Democrat until the 1960s when they all abandoned the Democratic Party rather than lose their precious bigotry towards black people.the left has spent many years

WTF is wrong with your cognizant abilities?
The point is that EVERY civil rights act since the reformation passed because of Republican support. EVERY ONE. The value of those acts i will let you judge. But as to the 1964 and 65 LBJ had to drag his own party kicking and screaming to support.
it's a secret? I learned about it in history class in the 8th grade (during the 1960s)
and after the civil rights act all the cute little bigoted trash went over to the GOP....hence drumpf. voila!
but why are the idiots still writing about it? do they really want to pretend that they haven't taken over that distinction?
pathetic loons.
