A few more notes for those holier than thou progressives about racism....
"The Democratic Party has been stellar at spinning a revisionist history where the righteous among their ranks fought “tirelessly” to further the cause of Civil Rights, women’s rights – indeed human rights – throughout time immemorial.
In fairness, progressives have had one lynchpin to their argument: Then-President Lyndon B. Johnson did sign into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The fact that the crux of the bill was drafted and pushed through Congress by Republican Senator Everett Dirksen, and the fact that LBJ staunchly opposed the passing of Civil Rights legislation in the decades leading up to his presidency, bears little relevance on the left’s present-day narrative."
Now I think that most of the Villagers who are professing progressive ideas were alive at this time....they MUST know this, don't they ? The Democrats have just been good at managing the black vote.
Oh, I mentioned a few difficult racist comments made by Democrats over the years...this is a classic by Lyndon Johnson...in discussions before the civil rights bill......
"“Get ready to take up the Goddamned nigra bill again,”
That quote has stuck with me over the years. All the while being called a racist by his party !!!

The Democrats have done a good job in managing this group, and in order to keep the votes they have had to push further left away from the LAW.
