And every time a conservative points out the truth, as the OP does, all the Dems can do is lie and deflect, lie and deflect.
Why do YOU choose to ignore the fact that so many Democrats were in favor of civil rights? Is it just so you can pretend that racist Southern Democrats represent the "real" Democratic Party, and ultra-liberal, anti-racist Democrats were somehow Republicans in disguise?
If so, then you're the one who's lying. No matter how many times you repeat the lie and mock those who point out historical truths that make you uncomfortable.
The Democrats are fighting for their lives, on this and other subjects.

YOU tell ME why it goes on so long and gets so repetetive.
Who's fighting for their lives? All your thread suggests is that you don't understand the history of what was going on at the time. I would suggest you buy some books on the civil rights era to help learn more about that topic. It is a very fascinating time in history.
Same way today's Democratic party tries to tie in the extreme Tea Party with the regular Republican base.
When a tea party candidate wins a GOP nomination, whose base nominated him or her? I've seen it happen here: An establishment Republican losing to a tea party candidate. Seems like the same base to me. If I'm wrong, please explain.
To the OP: Roll calls from 50 years ago do not amount to "...have always..."
As if racist Democrats were going to flee to the Republican Party after the GOP supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
You believe a myth.
Yet that is exactly what happened when Lyndon B Johnson a Democrat signed the Voting Rights Act. Bother to read my post detailing the GOP southern strategy which is an admitted GOP tactic to recruit racist southern whites in huge numbers.
Democrats have consistently been discriminatory racially....when discriminating against blacks got more votes, they favored racial discrimination of blacks, then when they got more votes by discriminating against whites, they went that way.
Repubs have always favored racially neutral policies.
