Since 1933, Republicans had a more positive record on civil rights than the Democrats. In the twenty-six major civil rights votes since 1933, a majority of Democrats opposed civil rights legislation in over 80 % of the votes. By contrast, the Republican majority favored civil rights in over 96 % of the votes.

Since you didn't respond to my previous post, where I challenged the 2/3 against and 2/3 for claim that you made, I'm going to challenge you again, here.

Prove it with actual, verifiable figures. It should all be publicly available. Otherwise, I'm just going to assume you got the claim from Breitbart's blog, and I have no reason to trust Breitbart's claims at all.

26 "major" civil rights votes is a challenge, though, so I'll be kind to you - find three such votes where Democrats opposed but Republicans supported, where Democrats weren't opposing because it wasn't strong enough. Given the percentages provided in your claim, 76% of such legislation (that's 19 or 20 out of 26) should satisfy this requirement, so it shouldn't be hard to find them.

Until you can back up your claim, I'm inclined to assume that it's just false propaganda on the part of certain conservative talking heads.
