But it was a Democratic President who signed The Civil Rights Act of 1965. 🤔

@calicuz only after democrats resisted signing other civil rights legislation for decades. Great that you included LBJ in this. The guy who said that blacks (but used the n word) were getting uppity and that he'd have blacks (but used the n word) voting democrat for 200 years.

I don't doubt that, but that wasn't really what I was trying to get at.

@calicuz ok. What were you trying to get at?

@calicuz A bill he could not have gotten without the Republicans.
The longest filibuster was a Democrat Senator opposed to that bill.
