Democrats made the black community an offer they couldn't refuse in the 1960's; end the century-long campaign of sadistic terrorism AND give cradle-to-grave welfare... if they'd vote Democrat. Thus began LBJ's era of #PlantationPolitics – drugs, broken families and re-dependence.
Lyndon B. Johnson, so-called "Master of the Senate", was outmaneuvered by Republicans on the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 & 1960. By desegregating schools in the lawless Democrat south, Eisenhower rallied bipartisan support from northern Democrat senators despite LBJ's vile racism.
John F. Kennedy continued Dwight D. Eisenhower's legacy of Civil Rights until that fateful day when the Bush-owned CIA assassinated our President and a complicit LBJ assumed figurehead power. But it was too late... by 1964, the national momentum was irreversible: veto-proof bill.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed the House & Senate with veto-proof majorities, forcing notorious racist LBJ to once again capitulate and reluctantly sign it. But it was the 1957 & 1960 Acts, passed with near unamimous GOP support and signed by Ike, that laid the groundwork.
The most important thing to remember about the Civil Rights Acts and Voting Rights Act is that they were only necessary because Democrats violently refused to obey the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments for nearly a century.
If President Trump really wants to send chills down the spine of the Democrats, the first thing he'll do with his super-majortity is finally close the 13th Amendment loophole & abolish slavery in this country once and for all. Let the Mockingbird Media chirp against THAT! #13th
Democrats all the way from the Reconstruction Era to Hillary Clinton herself have exploited the 13th Amendment prisoner loophole to keep & use black slaves, aided by the fascist Bush cabal post-1963 using the #DrugWar for #MassIncarceration. currentaffairs.org/2017/06/the-cl…
