MA Sen. John F. Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil Rights Bill. Civil Rights was part of the Republican party platform in 1960. Getting some very good advice, late comer JFK got his phone call into Corretta Scott King before Nixon did when MLK got arrested in Birmingham. That’s it. A phone call beat real reform and flipped the Black vote to Democrats.
And here it is 80 years later and the Republicans once again vote against putting a racist on the SCOTUS. The first time to stop against blacks and this time to stop racism against whites. The only common thread is racism and demonic-rats.
The black vote flipped in 1936, not 1960.

Thanks for the info! I seriously never knew that.
