You know ,why don't you try to understand things instead of just playing a game of gotcha?

Doesn't it say something that the north and west didn't vote against it! That it was the south.

And it was totally conservative and liberal because at the time the Democratic party had conservative politicians and they voted against it. So like I said liberals voted for it.

After the 1964 civil rights vote the conservative Democrats became Republicans. That is why LBJ said: "we just lost the south for a generation.

And today the the two parties are two separate populations. The most liberal Republican is more conservative than the most conservative Democrat.

And no African Americans do not vote for Republicans because that is who has been making life hard on them.

It is not complicated. People who have been beaten down know who is their enemy.

Was it southern conservatives who marched with MLK? No it was liberals and the Democratic party is where we live.

You pick two liberals from deep southern states obviously conflicted by their history and political situation.

Because for the most part they were the one's who voted against it. Members of congress from the west coast or the north from either party didn't vote against it.

If you wanted to say it wasn't a Republican vs. Democrat thing in but a southern vs non-southern thing back in 1964 the Dems just happened to have most of the southern seats, then you would have a good argument. (About the vote at least, not perhaps to the extent you think more broadly, there was plenty of racism in the north, or just about anywhere in the country)

But that's not what you said, you said it was a conservative vs. liberal thing, and it wasn't.
