Educate us on all the conservatives that led the civil rights movement.
6) This was all before the brilliant Republican southern strategy based entirely on racism which turned the south into a Republican racist stonghold. So, at the time (1964), there were more southern racist Democrats than southern racist Republicans - so, yes, there were more southern racist Democrats to vote against the Act. Of course, you have since corrected that so that the GOP has a stranglehold on the southern racist vote.
Oh yeah, and how and why was the GOP so successful in taking over the racist south? Oh, primarily by playing off of racist resentment over the '64 and '65 Civil Rights Acts. So, yeah, it makes all kinds of sense for the GOP to try to take credit for the Civil Rights Acts. ROFLOL[/quote
Lol wrong again bud. Couple flaws in your southern strategy argument.
1. There were 21 democratic senators in the south before the civil rights act how many of those seats changed to republican after the civil rights act was passed?
The answer is 1
2. Also the south didn't become majority republican in the senate till 1994. Did it take the racists 30 years to figure out what was going on?
Your argument has been debunked
