“the opposition to the civil rights movement were all democrats.”
They opposed desegregation up here in the north as southern blacks came up here for work 50 years ago as well. Yankees pointed fingers at southerners until those blacks came up here; then we built urban reservations for them and kept them out of “white” areas.
True in part, but most of the segregation was economic in nature. You simply don't live where you can't afford to live. The higher eaning blacks did move in to some "white" areas. The white flight that followed in some cases is on us.
