Not true. I provided a link to easily verifiable facts which you refuse to research on your own. That tells us a lot about you.

Really it don't matter if the racism comes from the south, or if it comes from the north or what ever, racism is racism. You may not want to accept that, since it seems you will do all you can to deny racism from your party.

Since you all are the ones that like to call us Uncle Toms, and Aunt Jemimas and house negroes etc... yeah.. no racism there from you all.
Absolutely there were indeed racists in the Democratic Party, so what are you talking about? You know, with all due respect, you just don't sound so much like a person of color who lived through the racial unrest of the 1960s but rather more like a stormfront person playing a role. Just my impression (considering how many personal attacks you have unloaded on me, seems only fair that I can give you my impressions). How old are you?

Awww.. I knew it, you just proved you were racist also, just like the rest of the Dems.. I love it, true colors shining through.

Sorry to tell you that not all black people think the same, or act the same, or have the same ideology, no matter what you want to think.

next time, you would do better to not show your outright racism towards us. But, since you now have, I do know that anything else you say or claim on this site, is based on your racist views.

If you think for one moment that I'm going to spend hours double-checking every entry on that web site, you're sadly mistaken. Why should I? I don't challenge the timeline at all. I'm challenging the mistaken impression it gives because it does not mention anything at all about the changes going on in the Republican Party during the span of that timeline. It LEAVES OUT IMPORTANT INFORMATION, therefore it is misleading.

I have also provided you with links explaining "southern strategy, etc., which you refuse to acknowledge as taking place. I don't see you displaying good research skills, but rather you are displaying your propensity to go straight to personal attacks. That tells us a lot about you.

Hmmmm......and how is that you know I'm not a black person? I'm sure all my friends will find this very amusing. Looks like you were just baiting for a "gotcha" moment. Interesting.

It's not misleading at all. Throughout the entire nearly 150-year time span of the timeline, it lists events and acts in which Republicans CONSISTENTLY supported civil rights. Even if there were changes in the Republican party over the years, the support of civil rights has remained CONSISTENT.

That should have been what you learned from the events on the timeline. I'm wondering why you didn't get it.

It took place during a timeframe when Republican support of civil rights remained CONSISTENT. See the timeline.

I know who published the timeline, and his background. Do you? I know of the events listed on the timeline. You seem not to. That seems odd given your claimed age, but let's continue...

Your contribution is a lot of opinion, a wikipedia cut and paste job , and a link that details the exploits of a very small handful of politicians. On top of that, you repeatedly and adamantly refused to research easily verifiable answers to your own questions.

I would love to debate the facts with you, but you refuse to learn them. Why?

The "southern strategy" explains why the Republicans supported civil rights.......as you well know.

If you know who published the timeline and his background, are you ashamed of that person, is that why you won't bother to put the information out there in a post? Again, I am not challenging the factual accuracy of the timeline; I'm pointing out that there is no indication of the Dixicrat movement in that timeline and therefore it is misleading about WHO the Republicans are........and were. But you can keep on playing your word games as long as you want. I don't even wonder why. Clearly you enjoy this type of dishonesty.

You left off nearly a century of support before then, as well. How do you explain the Republicans' CONSISTENT anti-slavery and civil rights support from 1858 up to the "southern strategy?"

You explain it this way: the Republicans have CONSITENTLY supported civil rights since the mid-1800s. The "southern strategy" did not change that, it continued that support.

I didn't post the info because after your wikipedia cut and paste job, I suspected that you weren't strong on either facts or research ability. Those suspicions were confirmed by your actions that followed.

You can still easily find that info. Have at it.

How is that relevant when there was no lapse in the Republicans' CONSISTENT support of civil rights throughout the entire ~150-year timeframe?

Word games? How is learning facts playing word games? The only dishonesty and petulant refusal to pursue knowledge that has been placed before you is yours. As it's willful on your part, I can't help you with that.

Because if you were black, you wouldnt hold the beliefs that all blacks are to act and think and behave the same.

People like you are so easy to read and pick out, since even though you try to hide it, you can't keep what is truly in your mind from coming out.
