What part of "Southern Democrats were overwhelmingly against it" from my post didn't register? The south was a big fat bloc o' racists back then, Democrat and the few Republicans alike.
I don't see how posting actual, objective, incontrovertible facts about the CRA voting constitutes "not liking the subject matter."
I think you miss the entire point.
You do realize the republicans tried numerous times to pass a CRA and democrats denied them every time.
Don't sit here an pretend the democrats invented the CRA when they didn't.
Republicans tried numerous times to abolish "Jim Crow laws" yet when people say "Jim Crow" the uninformed think "Republican" - when in reality it was the complete opposite.
I have absolutely no idea how democrats get a free pass for being the biggest bigots and murderers in US history - or even worse - how they managed to blame it all on republicans.
