I don't think you could be more utterly obstinate if you tried.
Support for civil rights was largely based on geographic lines, not party lines, as has been illustrated to you numerous times by the regional voting for the CRA. Northern Democrats and Republicans voted overwhelmingly for it; Southern Democrats and Republicans voted overwhelmingly against it. These are facts, this is actually what happened. I do not know why this is so difficult for you to understand, except that for you to admit it would be for you to admit that all Democrats are not pure evil, and you're incapable of that.
I've explained this to him several times. It's partisan hackery. One becomes so wedded to the "us vs. them" mindset that it is impossible for them to see facts.
