The Voting Rights Act would be a start

There was a Voting Rights Act passed in 1965.

And the GOP and the Tea Party would like to repeal a good deal of it. They also would like to repeal parts of the Civil Rights Act, hate crimes legislation, and are pushing for voter ID laws. All of these positions are the opposite of the NAACP's, and black people in general.

That is a good thing. They don't support candidates based on their race, instead it is the candidate's positions on the issues that matters.

LOL....

Yeah who would ever think the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People would pay attention to race.

What is with all these white liberal defending the indefensible? Is that 90% bloc so precious as to sell out your integrity.

does the term 'useful idiot' ring a bell?

Which has what to do with the Republicans.....?

"Colored people" can vote in the USA, last I heard. Where are they being prohibited from voting?

ID. Here were go again.

Texas isn't the entire USA. If Republicans changing the voter laws in Texas is going to appeal to the "colored people" who apparently can't get an ID and make a huge difference, then they sure don't have much need.

Republicans think the laws black people want are not important and then they wonder why the NAACP and black people don't vote for republicans

That's usually because someone on the right believes in a set of laws that apply to everyone equally. What does a "black law " look like exactly?

Maybe you know some exceptional people but there's no doubt that the NAACP and black people support hate crime laws, the Civil Rights Acts, and the Voting Rights Act and oppose Voter ID laws, while the GOP as a whole takes the opposite position.

I'm aware that the GOP seems to support Voter ID.

But I was unaware they wanted to tone down/eliminate those others. That seems a bit crazy to me....

Yes, it is crazy IMO, but even some of the last round of republicans running in the GOP presidential primaries expressed opposition to the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act so it's not like I'm talking about ancient history. If I wanted to talk about ancient history, I would have mentioned the GOP's opposition to making MLK a holiday amongst other things

And then there's the right wing and republican habit of dismissing the black vote as if all they care about is continuing or expanding welfare programs when the obvious truth is that there's a whole range of issues black people (and the NAACP) care about and the GOP takes the opposite position.

The GOP mouths off about how much they care about black people, but the fact remains that they are committed to the opposite position on nearly every issue black voters are concerned with.

Was it opposition to the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act as a whole? Or was it specific clauses/parts of said acts?

Because the last would make FAR more sense, if still being a bit crazy, depending what parts were targeted.

No, not all of it. Just the most important parts.

They oppose the section of the Voting Rights Act which allows the DOJ to review proposed changes to the voting laws in states that have used the laws to restrict the voting rights of blacks in the past. There was a recent SCOTUS case that addressed this.
