No, The Parties Didn’t Switch Sides!

The Claim:

Blacks switched from Supporting the Republican Party to Supporting the Democrat Party immediately after passage of the 1965 Civil Rights Act.

Why?

Because Immediately After Voting on the CRA of 1965, Civil Rights Republicans became Democrats, and historically racist Democrats became Republicans. Blacks responded, running from the racists.

The Facts

The black community did not switch to voting for democrats after 1965. They switched in the 1930s, 30 years earlier. The first Democrat presidential candidate to receive a majority of the black vote was FDR in 1936.

“From 1865 to 1936…approximately 90 percent of blacks voted Republican and only 10% voted Democratic.”

“By 1936, 75 percent of blacks became Democrats. This trend has only continued since then…” Hillary’s America

All total, 126 Congressmen voted NO, only 4 switched parties, 96.8% DID NOT.

  • 21 Democrat Senators Voted Against the CRA of 1964, Only 1 Switched Parties
  • 46 Democrat Senators Voted For the CRA of 1964, NONE Switched Parties
  • 6 Republican Senators Voted Against the CRA of 1964, NONE Switched Parties
  • 27 Republican Senators Voted For the CRA of 1964, NONE Switched Parties

NOTE: Republican Senators voted in favor of the CRA of 1964 in greater percentages than Democrats did (81.8% vs 68.7%). Republican Senators also broke the Democrat Party’s 75 Day filibuster of the CRA.

  • 94 Democrat Congressmen Voted Against the CRA of 1964, Only 4 Switched Parties
  • 35 Republican Congressmen Voted Against the CRA of 1964, NONE Switched Parties
  • 136 Republican Congressmen Voted For the CRA of 1964, Only 3 Switched Parties: Two became Democrats, One became an Independent. 98.8% Remained Republicans.
    • Far from leaving the party, some also became national leaders within the Republican Party (Donald Rumsfeld, Gerald Ford, Robert Dole).

A much more comprehensive list solidifies the fact that that parties did not switch. Dinesh D’Sousa, in his movie Hillary’s America, details a list of 1600 racist democrats including:

  • Leaders of the KKK
  • Leaders of other racist groups
  • Democrat Congressmen from 1860-2000
  • Democrat Senators from 1860-2000
  • Democrat Senators and Congressmen who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964

The total that switched parties to become Republicans…

only 14 out of 1600, less than 1%.

Redefining Racism

Today’s Democrats can’t open their mouths without calling President Trump, conservatives, and Republicans in general racists. The meme is so old and warn out that they’ve destroyed its impact. Now Democrat politicians at every level of government stretch their imaginations for new and more hard-hitting phrases. The charges are insulting to the core, but for the sake of exposing the absurdity of the charge, let’s assume that they are true.

If the President, and Republicans are racists, we are truly terrible at it. We would have to be the most incompetent racists on the planet. I will suggest a new way, the best way to improve on the outcomes that any TRUE racist would desire for their targets.

Republicans should adopt and champion the Democrat Party’s agenda!

1. True racists would attack God, Judea Christian values, and religion in general. Republicans should deny God like the Democrat Party, and that we are made in his image. By breaking this common creation, it would be easier for Republicans to raise one race above another. Republican defense of God, and that we are all His children is just incompetent racism!

2. True racists would champion increasing the minimum wage. Democrats like Elizabeth Warren call for $15/hour. Regardless of the increase, the result will be what it always is, the loss of jobs, hitting minorities the hardest. If Republicans can raise the minimum wage, we could ensure fewer minorities found employment, and get opportunities to gain experience, prove themselves, and strengthen their resumes for better, higher paying jobs later in life. Republican policies grow the economy, spur businesses to expand and hire, returning manufacturing, lowest unemployment for minorities and women in American History, empower inner cities through Opportunity Zones. That’s just incompetent racism!

3. True racists would champion enclaving minorities in inner cities. Clustering them in slums controlled by corrupt local, one party governments. Clustering minorities in atrophying neighborhoods would enable the spread of drugs, minority on minority violence and shootings and high mortality rates. Republican policies of Opportunity Zones incentives which are expected to spur $100 Billion in long-term private capital investment in 8,764 underserved American communities, reducing regulations on businesses, encouraging their movements into these communities, and calling out the impoverished nature of these democrat strong holds is just incompetent racism!

4. True racists would champion Planned Parenthood, ensuring tax payer funding so this abortion business could expand. Since most Planned Parenthood clinics are in/near minority neighborhoods, their exploitation would ensure millions of minority babies would be aborted, minimizing their numbers across the country. Republican policies of defending every unborn child, fighting for their God given right to live is just incompetent racism!

5. True racists would support the takeover of Americas education system, and instill an agenda driven curricula that denigrates Americas founding, her founders, and blames our Great Nation for the worlds problems. By blaming America, we could convince minorities that they are victims, powerless to help themselves, and that they should be content with the scraps politicians throw them. Republicans could so destroy the education system, as Democrats have, that no inner-city minority students would be able to read and write when they graduated from high school. Republican policies demanding schools get back to teaching facts, math, history etc. and away from the America hating agenda only serves to prepare minorities for strong futures, and empowers independence required for successful lives. That’s just incompetent racism!

6. True racists would support the Green New Deal. The Democrats GND will massively raise taxes on every American, eliminate fossil fuels, aircraft, cows, crash the economy and eliminate the ability for farms to mass produce food, let alone distribute it to supermarkets, and open us up for conquest by communist China. Republicans could ensure the mass starvation of minorities by adopting the Democrat Party’s GND instead of sticking to their pesky economy, job and prosperity growing policies which expand Americas clean energy production, and inoculate us from Global oil shortages. That’s just incompetent racism!

7. True racists would support open borders, allowing drugs, human traffickers, drug cartels, gangs, and vast numbers of unskilled laborers to flood the country. These scourges prey on minority communities, fill low wage jobs, and directly compete with Americans and legal immigrants. Democrats support no borders, let alone just open borders. Such Republican policies would minimize minorities abilities to influence their elected officials, as Republicans would instead coddle support from the millions they allowed into the country. Instead, Republicans fight for legal immigration, secure borders, opposing the influx of drugs, violence, and human trafficking, in efforts to make all Americans safer, including minority communities. That’s just incompetent racism!

8. True racists would consolidate governmental power into the hands of a few, all powerful agencies and people making minorities dependent upon them. Democrats constantly push socialism/Marxism as the solution to the American problem. Socialisms defining traits are that it demands: All powerful rulers, Society divided into castes or classes, All things in common, All things regulated, Compliance is forced, Control of Information, and NO unalienable rights. Source: The Naked Socialist. Each trait would enable the denigrating minorities within an All-Powerful Government. The bigger the Government the smaller the People!
True Racists would go beyond consolidating power within the hands of the Federal government, as democrats do, they would fight for a global governance centered in the UN, which would have the power to subordinate the US Congress, let alone state and local governments, as Great Britains Parliament is ignored by the European Union. Consolidation of power at this level would allow Republicans to fulfill the Marxist/Socialist objective of global world government. Republican policies extoll the virtues of Americas founding and Constitution, which limit federal power, divide it among competing interests at the federal level, and reserve all but the enumerated powers for State governments, which are closest and most answerable to the people they serve, including minorities. Under President Trump Republicans also instituted Criminal Justice Reform. That’s just incompetent racism!

9. True racists would increase taxes under the guise of promising everything Free via government programs and funding. Like Democrats, Republicans could claim that only the rich would pay more, while knowing the tens of $Trillions these programs cost will require massive taxation on every American, including minorities. As money is taken via taxes, Liberty and Freedom diminishes, along with opportunities and choices. Republicans champion lower taxes, and the smaller, less intrusive government that results, providing greater freedom for Americans to work, start or expand their businesses, hire employees and employ capitalism which provides the greatest opportunities to the greatest number of people in the world. That’s just incompetent racism!

10. True racists would attack, undermine and try to eliminate the 2nd Amendment. Democrats have a long history of going after it, and Republicans could assail the right of Americans to own firearms for self and family protection as well. Eliminating the right to bear arms would ensure minorities were defenseless and easy prey. Republicans, however, fight for the 2nd Amendment rights of all Americans. As they said in the old west, God didn’t make men equal, Smith and Wesson did! That’s just incompetent racism!

Racism is as racism does! President Trump and Republicans are either the most incompetent racists in history, or they are effectively doing everything possible to lift up all Americans, including minorities! We all know the truth! One must then ask, what does this make Democrats?
