No, I don't think the people who did those things are racists. Any of them alive today?

Why is Jeff Foxworthy there? :hmm:

Oh I see, 'you might be a redneck'. Lame.

The comment is formatted like one of his "you might be a redneck" jokes.

How exactly did Republicans "pass the Civil Rights Act"?  They did vote in favour of it, but it was a a Democratic bill that was supported by President Kennedy, and then Johnson.

Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

The Republican southern strategy happened in our lifetime (well some of us  :)).  But facts don't seem to matter anymore.

Barry Goldwater voted against it. The implications of that, and what followed, are pretty significant.

Notice that Jeff Foxworthy did not mention anything AFTER the Civil Rights Act in his quote -_-

By voting for it? They also voted in greater percentages than Democrats in support of the bill.

Not that the CRA has anything to do with modern Republicans being racist or not. Are there even any people in Congress left that had the option to vote on it?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Well yeah. But it was a weird vote.

The Republicans were all over the place. Republicans from New York, California, Arizona, Wyoming, North Dakota, and all sorts of weird places voted nay.

And while there were not just a ton of Republicans in the southern states, only the ones from Maryland and Missouri didn't vote against it. I mean in Texas a few Democrats voted for it, none of the Republicans did.

I wasn't around back then so I have no idea why, it does kind of look like the Republicans in the South were already trying to look more conservative than the Democrats.

Odd that nothing is mentioned past 1965.  Was the issue of race solved that year?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I don't know. Well back in 1965 in Georgia interracial marriage was illegal. Is that still true? :hmm:

Weren't those laws abolished due to Civil Rights Act?

Civil Rights act of 1968 (this is a touchy one since Donald Trump was sued for violating it.  Twice).

Ok. Was there a significant shift between 1965 and 1968? Also the Foxworthy meme doesn't specify.
