One place they were amazingly (and sadly) right was their warnings about what America would look like in (their) future (now).
Out of wedlock marriages
Breakdown of the American Family
Rampant Street Crime
Poverty and Illiteracy
Rampant Drug Use
The list goes on and on of things they predicted that have come to be. You can argue the causes but not their accuracy.
IF Blacks EVER woke up to how the DEMOCRATS have DESTROYED THEM, Katie bar the door!! There would be Blood in the Street!
I did not experience racism and bigotry in real time until DD dated a black kid. Some family members totally overlooked that he came from a solid Christian family, active in his church, on track to graduate college. All they saw was his outward appearance and that canceled out everything.
Bigotry is not always about race. It’s that one characteristic that cancels out everything else.
For some people, if they saw Jesus Christ heal the sick, feed the hungry and raise the dead while wearing a MAGA hat that would cancel out every good thing about Him.
Good article!
Hogwash! The Republicans didn't suddenly become 'racists' because of the CRA, the 'Rats changed tactics from overt to covert racism.
...But the South didn’t switch to GOP control until 1994, and only 2 elected Congressional Democrats actually switched parties in the years following the Civil Rights Act.
The only one that comes to mind is Strom Thurmond, even then he "evolved" his position (something most 'Rats claim to do, but deep down don't.) As for switching to GOP control, that was on the federal ballot level. The state legislatures remained firmly under 'Rat control for quite some time. Not sure about most of the other Southern States, but it took NC 50 years since the CRA to become majority Republican, a position they hadn't achieved since Reconstruction.
