They sure did. In the South. You can't be that historically ignorant to not know that Northern Democrats voted in favor of the CRA by an overwhelming margin.

Support for the CRA was not divided on party lines; it was divided on geographic lines.

The original House version:

Southern Democrats: 7–87 (7–93%)
Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)

Northern Democrats: 145–9 (94–6%)
Northern Republicans: 138–24 (85–15%)

The Senate version:

Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5–95%) (only Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0–100%) (John Tower of Texas)
Northern Democrats: 45–1 (98–2%) (only Robert Byrd of West Virginia voted against)
Northern Republicans: 27–5 (84–16%)

This is really a flawed poll. Dems and Repubs are partisan and ergo their responses are partisan. Only a minority should be allowed to vote on this poll. If that followed National Election trends, it would be 8 to 1 that Repubs are rascists. Probably nonsense, what the hell do a group of minorities know anyway?

.......and 58% of voters with post graduate degrees vote democratic and 49% of all college graduates as well...

Straw Man Logical Fallacy.

Just because minorities, the poor and those without college degrees vote democratic does not mean that they do so because they are dependent on social programs...That is conjecture...

More like a pretty solid theory... people vote for what helps them. Fact.

You just will not admit that the platform of the Republican party is against almost everything that liberals believe in... Yes, it is definitely the Democrat party that is responsible for the safety net....

Safety net? That helps make my theory. Thanks... and I admit that the Republican party is against most that liberals believe in, why wouldn't I? The Democrats are against most that conservative believe in. So what?

I am certainly not misunderstanding you as you consistently spout conservative talking points without any proof whatsoever..

Except I gave evidence. :roll:

Actually a great, great uncle of mine lived with his boy friend in NYC in the 20s. They thought is was fine. They they had good jobs, got fed at good restaurants and invited to dinner parties. Of course, they did not run about looking like Xmas trees.

The Civil Rights Act wasn't exactly aimed at New York City, and it had nothing to do with gay people at all.
 
Why is it I'm not surprised this thread still has life?

Yes, he did. IN THE SOUTH.

Look at the voting for the 1964 CRA that I posted. That is proof positive that support for the CRA was largely divided on geographic lines.

But if I remember, we were talking about gays, where this thread departed from the main body.
 
I am surprised about the results of the polling....since DP leans so left you would think the right would be losing big time.

The only place I've ever really seen anti-white racism is in sports.

Or in Japan. But that doesn't count because this message board is 'merican.

You should go to Hawaii. They have a special day called kill Hali day (white people). No one actually get killed but there have been cases of white people being beat up.

Is that the Japanese doing it or the native Hawaiians (whatever they call themselves)?

I've heard the natives aren't too fond of us.

The results of the polling have already been explained. Many "lefties," myself included, have already said that we didn't vote in this stupid poll since there is no third option for "neither." The conservatives seem to be champing at the bit, however, to absolve the right of any racism and to pigeonhole "the left" as The Real Racists.

If you are going to call yourself a 'leftist' you should first familiarize yourself with its history, and its lengthy history of failures.

I don't think the results of any poll in DP actually mean anything I just find the wide difference interesting. I would have thought it would be the opposite..I think its good to see.

You think it's "good" that there's more righties out there wanting to pin racism on lefties than vice versa? Okay.

I guess you have a reading comprehension if you look at it that way.

That's the wrong thing to do. What you've gotta do is whip their ass and not let up, then they'll respect you forever. It's Asian culture. Mercy is a sign of weakness to them.

Just like the Japanese... we had to nuke them to win the war. Once we did that, though, they treated Macarthur like a god for years.

I guess what I'm saying is those cultures only really understand and respond to strength. They're not like us. We're raised on mercy because we have Christian roots and that's the core of Christianity. They don't have that, so you have to have a firm hand when dealing with them.
