The Democrat party took a different tact with respect to race after LBJ took up the issue of CR. Democrats embraced CR, but not as a means to ensure people of color were afforded equality, but as a means of control over people of color. The Democrats have used CR as a way to enslave people of color as benefactors of government entitlement.
...and in a Machiavellian sort of way it has worked out brilliantly for them.
