    Democrats voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in much higher numbers than Republicans.

    LBJ killed and maimed friends of mine. Way too many. It got real personal.

    True.

    "The Civil Rights Act -- which is best known for barring discrimination in public accommodations -- passed the House on Feb. 10, 1964 by a margin of 290-130. When broken down by party, 61 percent of Democratic lawmakers voted for the bill (152 yeas and 96 nays), and a full 80 percent of the Republican caucus supported it (138 yeas and 34 nays).

    When the Senate passed the measure on June 19, 1964, -- nine days after supporters mustered enough votes to end the longest filibuster in Senate history -- the margin was 73-27. Better than two-thirds of Senate Democrats supported the measure on final passage (46 yeas, 21 nays), but an even stronger 82 percent of Republicans supported it (27 yeas, 6 nays)."

    https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/may/25/michael-steele/steele-says-gop-fought-hard-civil-rights-bills-196/​

    I wonder how the party of Trump would vote today.

    Yes, and Republicans have taken up the cause.

    I'm half Puerto Rican. Funny how your side is afraid of a Republican who's been dead 15 years.

    You are part of the way to truth. By saying Yes Democrats authored racism.

    My party? I never voted for a Democrat in my life. Never.

    Trump is dog whistling racists in his party. How did you miss it?

    yes, back then the white racist southerners belonged to the democratic party, now they belong to the republican party - Republican can keep them

    just like now, the black racists belong to the democratic party

    it's just the reality of things - wish everyone could just stop being racist, regardless of party

    Right. Republicans took up the cause of white racism.

    The dirty little secret no one mentions is that there are plenty of black racists. They should, of all people, know better. Oh, well...

    I guess all those improvements for blacks made since Jan 2017 by Trump prove he is racist. See we have a new definition for racist. Helps a race of America. Sure Trump did that.

    Amen to that.

    We're going backwards in some ways. Would the Jeffersons TV show be made today where Jefferson gets ragged by his wife for saying racist stuff? I wonder. I can't remember the last time blacks were called out for racism.

    We've been over this. The economy is growing about as fast as it did in the middle of Obama's second term and real wages are flat.

    can you list the improvements Trump made for minorities? what policies did he implement to help a race as you say?

    Obama brought unemployment down about 10%, Trump brought it down another percent

    Well, if your mom is in this thread posting, by all means, listen to her.
    Otherwise, finger pointing is pointless.

    Actually the SOUTH is the authors of racism. No matter what party they were at the time.
    Most every state that wanted secession stated SLAVERY as one of the main reasons for the civil war.

    Meanwhile, you attempt to make false accusations and don't even bother to reply.
