Betelg defies Zeit, oh-my, "The "Equal Rights Amendment" never passed. If you meant to refer to the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, then I'm sure you are aware that most Southern Democrats became Republicans in the wake of their passage as the Republicans employed the Southern Strategy and secured the old racist Democratic vote in the South."
Sorry for using the wrong term, but you got the idea. However, you just had to lie about it, in order to slavishly support your party over reason.
The Southern Democrats DID NOT join with Republicans to pass the civil rights amendment. If they joined the Republican party, afterwards, then I wonder why Robert Byrd is considered a Democrat?
Can you explain that to me, Mr. Ivehadthewoolpulled?
Of course, the liberal press tried to change the reality of the Civil Rights/Voting Act and to infer that it was racist Republicans who were the bigots and segregationists - not the Donkey/Ass party who were the real white-sheeted bigots and racists, and still are in their hypocritical fashion.
Come on, show me the statistics where Democrat racists flocked to the Republican party ... come on, liar! And, even if they did, aren't they still racists hiding their ancient Democrat bigotry behind being Republicans, now?
Yes, the racism was spawned in the political interests of Democrats, and who promoted a war that killed millions of Americans to save slavery, and still try and keep that slaves down on the plantation. Only now, they call it Welfare Housing ... Welfare Food ... and which I call Welfare Slavery.
