Why Is There Controversy Over Confederate Monuments?

[Camp]

I do deny the past....because it is the past of racist southern culture and not political parties
Republicans in the south still opposed integration. Democrats in the north supported it
It was a Democratic President who signed the Civil Rights act

there was as much or more racism in the north as in the south. The absolute worst racism I ever saw was against native americans in the west.

the civil rights act was passed because republicans voted for it as democrats filibustered against it.

as is usual for you, you don't have any facts straight. you make shit up, repeat talking points, and reveal yourself as nothing but a puppet of your far left masters.

History shows that Northern Democrats and Northern Republicans passed the bill over the objections of Southern Democrats and Southern Republicans.

yes, but members of which party did the filibusters? stop playing word games and admit the truth.

A Democrat signed the bill
If LBJ wanted to kill the legislation, he could have

geez, dude. Democrats filibustered the civil rights act. Doesn't matter which state they came from. They were democrats, they were KKK members. None of your bullshit can change that.

What are the names of the Democrats who were KKK members as you claim in your post?

Robert Byrd, George Wallace, Lester Maddox, Hughey Long, Bull Conner, Al Gore Sr. Just to name a few.

Yes...that is the point you keep avoiding

Opposition to civil rights was based on where you came from not your political party

Both Democrats AND Republicans from the south opposed integration

black and white parents opposed forced busing and integration. It had nothing to do with party or geography, it had to do with the safety and well being of their children.

What all people wanted, and still want today, is the natural process of integration through interaction in everyday life. Forced integration of schools was, and still is, widely opposed by all races.

Actually, busing had to do with breaking down politically gerrymandered school districts to ensure access to all

It worked

no it wasn't and no it didn't. Busing 7 year old kids an hour each way in order to force integration did not work, parents of all races hated it.

What actually happened was that separate school districts were created in both black and white areas to prevent forced busing.

again, your political bias is all you have.

You were talking about a specific time, specifically when the filibuster for the civil rights act occurred. That is how you opened your post. So the question was, what are the names of the Democrats that belonged to the KKK in the time frame you were referring to?

It didn't destroy them. It did throw a damper in communities trying to segregate schools

It was easy to do. If you had four schools in your school district. The kids who lived in the mansions up on the hill all got sent to the new school that was just built. The working level kids who lived in the suburbs got sent to the two average schools and everyone who lived on the other side of the tracks got sent to the hundred year old school with the leaky roof

Busing fixed that

Blah, blah, blah, racism.

My point stands as you have NOTHING to challenge it with.

Once you get rid of the confederate stuff you don't like, get rid of all the mosques, because we don't like them.

"We" don't count. That's kind of the point.


Only lefties and their protected groups count.

I oppose the removal of all that confederate stuff too..

It needs to be there to remind us what unmitigated arrogant assholes the Confederates and their supporters truly were.

What are the names of the Democrats who were KKK members as you claim in your post?

Geez, dude. You honestly don't know Democrats were against the CRA of 1964? Did you read my link posted previously? Have you researched the subject at all or have you simply swallowed everything told to you?

Smart minds know there is a lot more to this subject than partisan assholes care to share. My humble suggestion is to research it yourself. Try to see all sides and to consider the times. Do most Americans want a better way, a better life for themselves and their children? Of course. Do most Americans support slavery? I doubt you'll find very, very few who do. So what are people trying to say here, in your opinion, other than push partisan politics?

....and how an Union President shredded the Constitution in order to preserve it thus setting the stage a hundred years later for a US Army Major to be quoted "It became necessary to destroy the town to save it".

Sherman's scorched Earth strategy, starving blacks and whites alike, exemplified the murderous intentions of the Northern invasion.

Interesting position

If the Democratic Party was against the CRA, why did southern voters retaliate against them once the act became law?
