Zone1 "White privilege" does not exist, it is a lie.

You mean other than Civil rights, voting rights, and improving the economy?

There was more Democrat opposition to the Civil Rights act than Republican. “Voting rights” is steeped in liberal-racism. Them dumb black people don’t even know what a computer is.

The poverty rate dropped from 20% to 10%. I would call that pretty successful.
Again, look at the trend prior to the Civil Rights Act. You didn’t do anything. You are just crediting yourself with something you didn’t do. You we’re the main opposition to the Civil Rights Act.

And he ran on a platform "We don't care what you do in the South anymore". That was the point, he should have kept things going, but he didn't. The GOP realized that civil rights weren't an important issue and moved on to other things.
I tried to find what ever you are talking about and couldn’t. Citation please.
The thing is, after Grant, you really can't name a single Republican who was "Good on Civil Rights"....
