Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans[W:466]

Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

Geezuz. She keeps talking like that she may obviate the need for a runoff with Cassidy.

Or she could gracefully withdraw. Gracefully. I understand she's not a high jumper, but even if she's just pulling a tractor it can be done with an element of grace.
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

Lets see...

Women dont get respect in the south...said woman that has been elected several times by state constituents who worked with numerous other elected women from the south including their woman governor.

Southerners...well...they dont like black people and thats why Obama has had a hard time with them, says the woman who is on record as trying to distance herself from the many Obama policies she has stated she disagrees with.

Why is anyone even seriously considering her words as credible?
Well, she is a southerner, so I guess she is a racist as well. She doesn't oppose the leader of her own party on principle, so she must oppose him simply because she is a hateful racist southerner who cant see past the color of his skin. Glad she cleared that up for everyone.

Now that you mention it, there's a lot of Hillary to see in Mary.

There is, and I hate myself for noticing. Hate myself. I'm making a note to myself to not even look in the future. Maybe just risk one eye.

Because Libbos have to reinforce the notion that all Southerners are racists and sexists. They have to keep black folks scared. If black folks aren't scared, they might not vote Democrat.

Really? Did Mary set out to destroy the lives of women her husband has raped, sexually assaulted, sexually harassed, or just plain abused, too?

Thats the truly comical part...the image of Hillary Clinton...HILLARY CLINTON...going on a national stage and discussing the 'war on women'.

Black folks are starting to see the folly. Well...some of them. A good number of them REALLY like their token status and are committed to the plantation and false promises.

It's mostly fear, IMO. When Charlie Rangel says the GOP believes in slavery, it's to instill fear.
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

You realize Jim Crow and segregation were a Democrat creation right ?

And it was the Democrats who filibustered the 1964 voting rights act.

And no they weren't " Conservative " or " Dixiecrats "

They were the same party that led to the creation of places like Cabrini Green, Robert Taylor Homes and South Side Chicago and Detroit.

Modern day slavery under the guise of " equality " care of Barack Obama and the modern day progressives.

No, they were conservative Democrats. They were people like Strom Thurmond who switched to become Republicans when they realized where the rest of the racists were headed. And African Americans are, contrary to your beliefs, smart enough to figure that out.

Nah. Fear isnt the right word. That is as wrong as using the word 'homophobe'.

Its not fear...its anger.

Both could be used.
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

The history of the Democratic party disproves your assertion. I don't have to. :shrug:

Funny, you won't show any of it though. ;)

Well, in 1866 (the first civil rights act) The Republicans had 75% of the Senate and 69% of the house and they enacted it over a Democratic presidents Veto.The 1870 enforcement act was due to a 83% Republican Senate and 70% Republican house. Signed into law by Grant (R) no veto.
The 1871 KKK act, same number, signed into law by a Republican.
The 1875 Civil rights act, again Republican majorities...signed into law by a republican.

So you have no voting record of any of them? Hmmm. Interesting. I wonder why? Well, let's see:

http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Northern_Democratic_Party?rec=2121

By the late 1850s, the Democratic Party was split over the issue of slavery. Northern Democrats generally opposed slavery's expansion while many Southern Democrats believed that slavery should exist across the United States. In the presidential election of 1860, the Democratic Party split in two, with Stephen Douglas running for the Northern Democratic Party, and John C. Breckinridge representing the Southern Democratic Party.

Alright, so we have that as early as the 1850s, the Democrats had split in two over... well you guessed it race. This lasted until AT LEAST 1860. Strike one for the claim that it was a homogenous movement of anti-civil rights within the Democrats. So now, let's address the fact that Republicans passing civil rights act shall we (well aside from the fact that you have no voting records):

The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow | PBS

Jim Crow effectively began after the election of Rutherford B. Hayes. There was a great deal of political confusion as the country continued to recover from the war, and at first, many white Republicans and Democrats were split over the issue of black suffrage. Blacks had begun to participate in politics, holding positions in local government and voting, but during the 1880s, civil rights and political access for blacks were rapidly rescinded, as Northern and Southern politicians agreed that white solidarity on the issue of race was more important than civil rights for blacks.

Compromise of 1877 - U.S. Presidents - HISTORY.com

As a bipartisan congressional commission debated over the outcome early in 1877, allies of the Republican Party candidate Rutherford Hayes met in secret with moderate southern Democrats in order to negotiate acceptance of Hayes’ election. The Democrats agreed not to block Hayes’ victory on the condition that Republicans withdraw all federal troops from the South, thus consolidating Democratic control over the region. As a result of the so-called Compromise of 1877 (or Compromise of 1876), Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina became Democratic once again, effectively marking the end of the Reconstruction era.

Alright, so what do we have. We have, Northern and Southern Democrats being split before the civil war. We have Republicans handing back control to Democrats in the 1870s and we have this:

THE DEATH OF RECONSTRUCTION - Heather Cox RICHARDSON - Google Books

View attachment 67175290

Well! My oh my! We have Northern Democrats courting black voters, we have Southern Democrats attacking them. Hey, the pattern doesn't seem to change much and look, I got all my sourcing. Do you? ;) Well, I know you don't but do you know what all of these things put together mean? They mean that the Democratic Party wasn't the united force you keep presenting it as EVEN in the 19th century.


All of these introduced and sponsored by republicans. Want me to go on with the rest of them?

There are more than 6 civil rights related acts they aren't all labeled "Civil Rights Act".

Please do, they'll display your ignorance on this topic to an even wider extent.

It's not a racial thing ... it appears 40% or so of everyone still aren't.
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

And how many Southern Republicans were there in the Senate where the bill was hardest fought by Southern Democrats? Let me help you with that one. There was ONE senator.

How did he vote? ;)

##Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5–95%) (only Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
##Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0–100%) (John Tower of Texas)
And you are going to base your entire argument on ONE Southern Republican senator? Got it!

Oh no, I based it on the available evidence. There were 11 Republican Congressmen in the South. Guess how they voted? ;)

Libbos think black folks are stupid, so it's no surprise you believe that.

Oh please, they were DEMOCRATS.

The Democrat party has DEVOLVED to insulting its own supporters.

Landrieu apparently thinks voters are dumb enough to buy into her false narratives.


Hell, the entire Democrat party thinks their supporters are stupid.
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

If he adds this part of history to his argument, he has to admit that by 1964, the lack of Republicans in Congress made Democratic support for the CRA'64 essential to its passing. If Democrats become essential in its passing, then how can they be painted as the big bad racists he says they are? Hell, your numbers show that within 3 years, the near the middle split of the Democratic Party had turned to a majority of Democrats voting in favor of the act. So how can mac get away with saying Democrats as a party opposed it? I think you just made his simplistic narrative a lot more complicated.

In 1964 there were only 33 Republicans in the senate of those 27 voted for the civil rights bill and 6 against it. Democrats numbered 67 which 46 voted for, 21 against. The House was about the the same, out of 248 Democrats who voted 152 voted for it, 96 against. The Republicans in the house broke down to 138 for and 34 against.

Slightly over 80% of Republicans in the House and Senate voted for the bill, the Democrats were 61% for the bill in the house and 69% in the senate. Just be thankful back then there wasn't party line voting like today.

Malcolm X warned them in 1964 that they were chumps for voting Democrat, and expecting their lives to get better. Have they remembered what he said 50 years ago? Not so far, it appears. :screwy:

No matter how many times you parrot that, it still doesn't make sense.
