And you know this how?

Are you really arguing that Democrats didn't try to keep blacks from voting? If you have evidence that they weren't, then maybe you should present it to the rest of the country, because the Voting Rights Act, among other things, was specifically created to address Democrats oppressing Black voters.

I’m asking how you know this?

Were you there in real time experiencing it or did someone teach you?

How old are you and where were you raised

I’m 55 and raised in Mississippi during that time.

I am prepared to relate to you a first hand observance of those events having been there and raised in a moderate political family..

Your assumptions are partially correct but skewed

So stop accusing me of arguments I did not put forth and answer me or remain uninformed...its your choice.

Just because a body of socially liberal democrats and Republicans passed all manner of black rights and redress in the mid 60s does not mean it was all good or that their intentions were noble or their grounds ALL honest and sound

But if you are young and ignorant or simply the latter then that may be all you’ve ever been told

Consider me a helping hand with personal knowledge

I actually met or knew as a boy....Charlie Evers....Vernon Dahmer....Pat Derian.....Hodding Carter...Jr.....Aaron Henry......James Eastland.....John Stennis and Sonny Montgomery amongst others

That era in the South is not something I just read about

You can look up those names if need be
