No... I wasn't making it up. If you consider "today" to be the recent history within the memory of living and voting blacks, Democrats get credit for all the significant civil rights legislation if the last half century, and Republicans were hostile to it.
You mean like the Civil Rights Act?
Oops,nevermind....
I've done ok...don't really need much of anything. However, i'm an FDR Democrat, and everything that comes along with that (well, 99% of it) is what i stand for.
the North American Review in 1934, the progressive writer Roger Shaw described the New Deal as “Fascist means to gain liberal ends.” He wasn’t hallucinating. FDR’s adviser Rexford Tugwell wrote in his diary that Mussolini had done “many of the things which seem to me necessary.”

[b]Although the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) and its agency the National Recovery Administration (NRA) were among Franklin Roosevelt’s proudest accomplishments, they were also among the New Deal’s biggest fiascos. To call the NIRA and the NRA bizarre would be a severe understatement.
If you were really familiar with FDR, and the New Deal, you would realize it was a Raw Deal for Blacks in America. But go ahead and believe in your fantasy, don't let me stop you since I am not fit to examine Blacks, Black History, and Black issues since I am not Black.
WAKE UP

A higher % of Northern Democrats voted for it than any other group, and the GOP campaigned to appeal towards southern whites angry at the Dems over the Civil Rights Act.

And that is due to southern CONSERVATIVES. The voting block the GOP aimed for in the aftermath of the Civil Rights Act.
I asked about Democrats...LOL.
Does it make you squirm a little to know your party embraced racism,segregation and slavery?
