The original Civil Rights movement of the 50's and early 60's was a conservative Christian effort from the Republican party to kick start change for the better.

But liberal Democrats (who had been strongly opposed to the movement) soon saw that the change was going to happen, whether they liked it or not. So, they decided to use the movement's momentum in their favor. By exploiting it and establishing new governmental policies that have proven to be more harmful than helpful in the long run. This mostly started in the Lyndon Johnson presidency.

So, was that their purpose all along? Liberal/progressive Democrats often make false claims of racism against conservatives and Christians. But are they really only projecting?

Are they really that misguided not to see the negative outcome which has kept minorities under constant ongoing oppression for decades? Or was that their goal all along?

What do you think?

I think telling people , here we have to help you because you are incapable of doing it yourself, is the biggest slap in the face one can give a man.

Yep. It's the bigotry of having low expectations of minorities. Note the results...

Pre emptive strike time.

And some Democrat will come on here and make the false claim that racist Dems left for the Republican Party after the Civil Rights movement. Total BS.

93% of Democrats stayed in their party. That's ninety-three percent liberals.

And the South didn't turn to Republicans because Southerners are racist. Demographics changed.

Since 1975 13 million people left the South for other areas of the country. During the same time 19 million moved there from other areas. Democrats, that opposed the Civil Rights movement, left the South. Republicans, that supported equality, moved in. That's why the South turned Republican.

The Democrats always claim Dixiecrats (racist Dems at the time) left for the Republicans after the Civil Rights movement and therefore Republicans are racist. Does this make any sense when scrutinized. Republicans wanted equality for blacks. Why would people that didn't join them????

lmao. They wouldn't.

So far as fairy tales go on a Sunday morning, this is a fairly weak effort.

"Conservative Christians" did not drive the Civil Rights movement. Frankly, there was no such movement within American society at that time that could be described as such. Martin Luther King, Fred Shuttlesworth and other Christians leading the civil rights movement were anything but "conservatives." I will credit you folks for successfully rewriting certain parts of history, but this will prove to be a bridge too far.


But, please, feel free to provide historical documentation of this conservative movement that drove civil rights.

I think you are a bit ill-informed.

No. Every state that has the racist voter ID law is under GOP rule.
