Yeah, Art, everything you say is true except for the minor detail that it
was the republicans who pushed and supported the Civil Rights Act(s) and the
Democrats who opposed them . . . the south didn't flip republican until
much, much later.

And you of all people should know better. you were there (so to speak).

If this were a democracy no "Negro" would ever have become an
African-American, and women would probably never have been given the
vote. For sure, the Civil Rights act would have been an impossibility in
the mid-sixties.


The civil rights act turned the "Solid" southern Democratic states into
the
"solid" Republican states. The South deserted the Democratic party not
because
they believed in Republican principles,but because they were furious at
the
Democrats for standing up for Civil Rights..
