Oh lord......you’ve been misinformed

A majority of Dems supported the civil rights bullshit legislation which btw opened Pandora’s box of POC preference and white demonization

A liberal to moderate block of GOPe supported it

Conservative GOPe were against it

Goldwater and Magnus and so on opposed it...they and the Dixiecrats...who were a minority in the dem party and who either moved GOPe or left or replaced by GOPe in the south by the end of Carter largely

There is a reason Goldwater carrier the cotton states in 1964

Leftist northeastern GOPe supported it

Moderates...some...led by Dirksen voted for it

You’re an example of how talk radio has not served is well but being inaccurate on history to suit their narrative

No offense

The 1964 Civil Rights Act essentially set up courts of racial thought crime. The administrative agencies created by the act could, and did, charge virtually anyone of criminal racism simply based upon numbers. The accused were assumed to be guilty and had to prove their innocence. This is still the case.

SCOTUS tossed gasoline on this fire in 1971 with the Griggs v Duke Power decision. There have been others in succeeding years.
