In the 26 major civil rights votes after 1933, a majority of Democrats opposed civil rights legislation in over 80 percent of the votes.

By contrast, the Republican majority favored civil rights in over 96 percent of the votes.

 

The Civil Rights Act of 1965 was passed because of Republican votes.  2/3rds of Democrats voted against it.  2/3rds of Republicans voted for it.

 

If you want to play these little games and pretend an entire party is racist.....take a look at the terrible history of your own party when it comes to civil rights. 

Honestly if people would stop accusing others of being racist and would stop talking about race in every issue then this country would probably move past race.  Stop talking race and let the issue die so we can all move past it.  Race shouldn't matter.  We are all just people.  That is all that should matter.

HAAAAAAAAAAAA! this shows you hav no clue what you talking about. Political party's are very fluid, meaning they change. The republicans now are the democrates of the past. SO to say that something from almost a 100 years ago is relevant today is funny.


Haaaaaaah!and this shows you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.And you will never realize that the rich guys only use this stupid left/right game to tear people apart-the bad old divide and rule game.Do you really think both parties turned 180degrees at the same time?impossible.A party will never change the fundamental agenda,as the hardliners would never allow this.They only change just because of the show.

as former gouvernour,statesman and wrestler jesse ventura said."politics=wrestling.It's only show for the people"

Now lets take a look at 1965 when the civil rights act was passed thanks to the republicans.At that time the(former right wing) democrats already were the leftist.Remember Kennedy?bobby and jfk-so left,so democrats,pro black movement.

How could left kennedies become no1 of a right wing party?impossible.

And how democratic is a democratic party that oppose such a democratic thing as the civil rights act.

 

(last election:

official story:Romney opposing obamacare

reality:Romney was one of the inventors and was massively pushing the thing that is now called obamacare,but as soon as the election campaign started he was opposing his own plans?impossible.

 

GW bush took away rights from american people and started killing people in foreign countries=leftists protesting,

obama came and did the same,even worser(ndaa,drones)-No more leftists left to protest.though Nothing has changed.


There are major difference's. Do I agree with democrates more? yes. However they have been shifted over to the right from the money of the rich. I will agree with you there and that is why progressives right now are trying to take back over the democratic party. And this is how. I think you should have a look. You most likely will like what they do. http://www.progressiveparty.org/
