The Obamanation

Every civil rights bill since the 30s has had the support of the minority of Democrats

You can change the words...you can't change the numbers....Democrats introduced and 2/3 of Democrats in Congress supported the first civil rights act.

The 1964 act:

153 Democrats (63%) for and 91 against in the House.....7 southern Democrats voted for it and zero southern Republicans voted for it.....94% of northern Democrats voted for it as opposed to 85% of northern Republicans.

46 Democrats (69%) for and 21 against in the Senate....1 southern Democrat voted for it and zero southern Republicans voted for it....98% of northern Democrats voted for it as opposed to 84% of northern Republicans.

Majority of Democrats in both cases.

What part of 2/3 in your fuzzy math does not equal a majority?

History shows that Democrats fought to expand slavery,....

And history shows that all the southern framers of the Constitution were slave-owners.

So what? Both parties have checkered pasts. Do you really believe the Republican party of today resembles the Republican party of Lincoln?

Your straw man has little meaning in terms of 20th century movements that helped establish the Black middle class.
