And these are the same people who are ready to say "well, let's not rush to judgment" anytime a Republican is caught doing something wrong. Some Conservatives care nothing about justice when it comes to persons of color or people they don't like.
As much as I hate that there are people in my party like this they aren't even close to being a majority. Without us evil Republicans the Civil Rights Acts never would have been passed.
That was decades ago. If the Civil Rights Acts had been set to expire in 2019 and were up for renewal today, it's unlikely they would pass through the Senate and get signed into law, at least without some major watering down.
Are you seriously suggesting that there would be less support for civil rights 55 years later? Both parties are way less racist than they were in 1964.
No, all the racists just left the Democratic Party and slowly became outright Nazis instead. At this juncture, it's only a matter of time before Fox News anchors start routinely dropping racial slurs to the tune of thunderous conservative applause.
