I can't believe a thread based on such a stupid premise is still running. Then again, given that it was started by city-data conservatives, I guess I can.
Liberals did not oppose civil rights; they were the ones who out-voted conservatives to get it passed into law.
It is something some conservatives seem to struggle to understand.
The main point that should be taken from this thread(in Harrier's opinion - since he wouldn't want to step on the OP's toes) is that the Democrats are not the party of civil rights.
There is no "party of civil rights".
The Civil Rights Bill of 1964 was a bipartisan effort.

Yes, the civil rights act was a bipartisan effort of northern politicians.
Even though Democrats were in the majority in both houses, they would not have been able to pass it at all, unless such large majorities of Republicans also voted to pass. Fortunately the Republicans came through and saved the bill from the defeat Democrats alone would have given it.
Democrats have always supported racism. From their founding of the KKK, to their current majority membership in it, to the majority support of racist legislation in Congress even today.
If I were a Democrat, I'd try to fake as many excuses for not associating racism with Democrats as I could, just as the leftists in this thread do. The truth is just too painful for Democrats... as usual.
How in God's name is voting FOR the 1964 Civil Rights act supporting racism?
I put this in another thread but it applies here as well
If you break it down by north and south, and it WAS a north south division regardless of what the cons try and tell you, northern Democrats voted yes at a higher percentage than northern Republicans did and southern Republicans voted no at a higher percentage than southern Democrats did
And all of a sudden Democrats did a total change and were not racist <sarcasm>
Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Democrat, who founded the Ku Klux Klan.
Woodrow Wilson segregated Federal Buildings and jobs after 50 years of integration under largely Republican administrations.
It was the Democrat Party in the South that instituted Jim Crow Laws.
It was the Democrat Party in the South that instituted "separate but equal".
It was the Democrat Party in the South that supported the Ku Klux Klan.
It was George Wallace and the Democrat Party in the South that said "Segregation Forever".
Orval Faubus and the Democrat Party that wanted the Arkansas National Guard to enforce segregation
No, there was no sudden change. They voted for the 1964 CRA
