In what was yet another obvious attempt by those on the left to simply rewrite those periods in our history that, upon closer inspection, would reveal them to be less what they portray themselves as being, we now have three over zealous 'journalists' at the LA Times doing their best to portray the Republican Party as being the political party possessing a history steeped in racism and slavery. This most recent case in point stems from a statement in an article written by these three, that has no basis in historical fact: "Since Democrats led the passage of civil rights legislation that marchers pushed for in 1963, Republicans have struggled to recover with black voters".
Now had these three geniuses behind this article cared to do even the slightest amount of what's normally referred to as being research, they would have found out, and pretty quickly, that it was only 64 percent of the Democrats in Congress who actually voted in favor of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The actual numbers were, 153 voting for and 91 against in the House, while 46 voted for and 21 against it in the Senate. But it was 80 percent of Republicans, or 136 who voted for the 1964 Act with 35 against in the House; and 27 voting for, 6 against in the Senate. So, exactly which party is it that can be said to have led the passage of the legislation in Congress?
Now I know I was educated in New York, but the last time I checked my math, 80% is greater than 64%. That would indicate, to me at least, that it was the Republicans who were actually out in front and leading the way on this issue. And without their overwhelming support, despite the fact that Democrats held majorities in both the House and Senate, this legislation would never have been passed, since Democrats were far, far short of the 218 they needed in the House (65 votes to be precise) and four votes short of 50 in the Senate despite commanding 67 seats. Now if I can find out this information, why is it that these so-called reporters could not?
Despite the fact that it was the GOP who played the bigger role in getting both the Civil Rights Act in 1964, and later the Voting Rights Act in 1965 passed, 99 percent of those blacks who vote in this country, gladly go out at every election and vote for members of the very same party that, had it been able to have its way, would have been quite content to keep blacks segregated and sitting forever in the back of the bus. But the Democrats, have been able to execute one of the greatest heists of all time, because in a sense, Democrats were able to have their cake and eat it too, as they have succeeded in keeping blacks on their plantation courtesy of a monthly check.
With the creation of the 'Great Society', which was enacted in February 1964 under LBJ, came what amounted to something that was really nothing more than a new kind of slavery. It was a plan to keep blacks forever indebted to the Democrat Party, even though its impact on the black community was nothing short of devastating. And I've always thought it kinda sad how nearly an entire community of people could be convinced to remain loyal to a political party that has caused them to experience so much misery. Whether we're talking about the ruin of the black family, the number of black males in our prisons or the 70 percent of out of wedlock births, blacks have been made to suffer greatly at the hands of Democrats. And yet...
