‘I think that we are going in a new direction when any Mid Eastern teror group WILL not brag about taking credit, so as to keep everyone guesing.’

Didn’t LBJ make some comment concerning blacks voting for Dems for 100 years or something?

tater, I remember my parents paying “Poll Tax” in the 1950s and early 60s. That tax also kept poor whites from voting.

In the 70s I used to go to a doctor’s office that still had black and white waiting rooms.

Dusty, I think LBJ said that after he appointed Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court.

LBJ said when he signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that he had just written off for the Democrats the South for a hundred years; not true. Obama still won in VA and FL. Clinton won half of the South both times.
