Saturday on MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” host Joy Reid disagreed with chairman of the Black Republican Caucus of Florida Sean P. Jackson when he said that if it was not for Republicans, African-Americans would still be enslaved.
“Sean, Abraham Lincoln is long dead. Let’s talk about the current Republican nominee,” Reid said. “I think the reason African-Americans have civil rights is because African-Americans fought for them.”

So she’s telling a black GOPer that GOP is all white?
When a liberal is losing an argument, they change the narrative or move the goalposts.
They are intellectually bankrupt.
Well, she’s just full of crap.
Ditto! demons still rewriting or another attempt to rewrite history by the demonrats.
A libtard named “Joy”...? Hey Joy, take a look at the vote counts for the legislation, you moron; its called reality, check into it.

Hense hilldabeast falls on her face and they all pile on and accuse trump of not releasing his medical records. Despicable parasites
"We'll never forget you Everett Dirksen!"
Or just LIE! No wonder the Media is plummeting in trustworthiness!
Neither are exactly right as the Civil Rights votes were primarily along regional and not party lines.
Most all the Democrats in the South voted against the Civil Rights Acts, and the few Republicans that represented the South voted against the Civil Rights Acts.
In 1964, the Republican nominee for president had voted against the Civil Rights Act.
Great!
Now I can tell all my ancestors who shot at each other in a war 160 years ago that it really never happened!
All those white Northern Republicans...were just out shooting one day, happened to see some white Southern Democrats, thought they’d take a pot shot!
700,000 dead men later, they stopped..no one knows why
Especially Joy Reid
Yes, they fought for them and the Republican Party orchestrated and aided them. The party of slavery, the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow and segregation opposed them. So pick up some serious history books and educate yourself Joy Reid. Idiot.
No, the reason is that the white majority had sufficient good will towards blacks to pass the laws.
That good will, thanks to certain parties, is eroding.
It’s eveident, she sure didn’t learn a bit of American History or of Politic’s by Democratic party, in the last 1012 years.
Not seeing it.
Irrespective of whether the Democrats or Republicans have helped blacks. The above statement is complete BS.
Twisting the truth. The 1964 Civil Rights Act passed with 73 votes: 46 Democrat and 27 Republican. So no, the Civil Rights Act would not have passed without Republican votes. Over two thirds of Democrats voted for the bill - 46 to 21, so no, the Democrats did not oppose the bill. As it turns out, every Democrat in a former Confederate state except one - Yarborough of Texas - voted against the bill. Every Democrat from a non-Confederate state except one - Byrd of West Virginia - voted for the bill. The sole Republican senator from a former Confederate state - Tower of Texas - voted against the bill as did 5 Republicans from non-Confederate states - Goldwater, Hickenlooper of Iowa, Cotton of New Hampshire, Mechem of New Mexico, and Simpson of Wyoming.
“A libtard named “Joy””
Nope ! It’s REID....One from the N.E.,one from Nv.and this munchkin of CNN ll named REID...
The name comes with a congenital disorder regarding anatomy...
What comes out of these three mouths should come out of their anus !

Good research.
And to add to what you wrote, in 1964 the Republicans nominated Goldwater who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Democrats nominated LBJ who signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act into law.
