Most blacks were Republicans before the Republicans opposed the Civil Rights Act.
Not only are you a LIAR, you insist again on wrongly portraying Republicans as racists. I challenge you to tell us where you got your reprehensible idea that Republicans were opposed to ANY Civil Rights Act. With such a statement, you owe the thread an apology if you have any sense of decency. Absent an apology, you can go to hell.
Here is a rundown of the sordid history of democrats vis-a-vis Civil Rights Acts.
Civil Rights Act of 1866 - Republicans supported; democrats opposed - passed by Congress twice, vetoed twice by Pres. Andrew Johnson (a democrat except for when he ran as Lincoln's V.P., later joining the democrats again after leaving office), but overriden by Congress.
Civil Rights Act of 1875 - Republicans supported; democrats opposed - passed into law only to be overturned in 1883 by a pro-democrat Supreme Court dominated by southern jurists.
Civil Rights Act of 1957 - Republicans supported; democrats opposed to the original bill. Only after democrats stripped out the enforceability provisions did the bill pass as a much weakened bill.
Civil Rights Act of 1960 - Republicans supported; some democrats opposed - passed only after the longest filibuster in history by democrats, this bill was to correct the 1957 Act's omission of enforceability. The Senate vote was 71-18 with all "No" votes being democrats.
Civil Rights Act of 1964 - essentially the same bill as the 1875 Civil Rights Act
House Republicans FOR: 138 (80%) AGAINST: 34
House democrats FOR: 152 (62%) AGAINST: 96
Senate Republicans FOR: 27 (82%) AGAINST: 6
Senate democrats FOR: 46 (69%) AGAINST : 21
The only thing Kenneth Phillips gets right is that most blacks were Republicans - before democrats finally got the message that they were on the wrong side of right and wrong, about 1964. Then, at the behest of Lyndon Johnson (who had a history of black denigration), democrats supported his "Great Society" welfare state legislation to buy off black voters. He saw that if he couldn't keep blacks "on the plantation" he could put them on the government "plantation" and he even bragged about it. In widely disseminated quotes, Johnson said:
"These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”
He is also quoted in Ronald Kessler's book, "Inside the White House" as saying, “I’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.”
The greatest satisfaction we can get out of all this is that so many blacks are finally realizing that they don't have to any liberals' "boy" and are now coming back to the conservative side of life. All it takes is self-honesty, integrity and a willingness to shed the corrosive "victimhood" showered on them by the leftists.
