“Independent fact checkers” can easily be mistaken for Democrats who don’t want you to remember Democrat History. USA Today threw a “False” flag at this Facebook meme, causing it to be fairly unreadable to people scrolling past it:
In 1964, on the floor of the U.S. Senate, Democrats held the longest filibuster in our nations [sic] history, 75 days. All trying to prevent the passing of one thing.
THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT
USA Today’s Rachael Riley admitted that southern Democrats filibustered – for 60 days, not 75. But not all Democrats filibustered.....so it was “Partly False.”
A June 20, 1964, New York Daily News article about the passage said 46 Democrats and 27 Republicans were in favor of the bill, while 21 Democrats, all from Southern or border states, opposed it along with six Republicans.
They listed Democrats like Strom Thurmond (who later became Republican), but left out some familiar names, such as Sen. Albert Gore Sr. of Tennessee. But this meme had to be flagged for fact abuse:

And people never remember the 1964 Democrat convention, at which there was controversy about the Mississippi delegation, because they were chosen in primaries and caucuses at which blacks were excluded, in violation of the national Democrat party rules.
It is not news that the Senators who opposed the Civil Right Act of 1964 were racists.
Here’s an interesting point. No Google search I run will actually list all of the senators involved in the filibuster. Just Richard Russell, Strom Thurmond and Robert Byrd.
To more recent college grads it likely is, and especially that it was a majority of DEMOCRATS
They choose Truth over Facts.
Facts are inconvenient and Truth is whatever you want it to be.
“Sheets” Byrd let the filibuster.
led = let
Since 40% of BLM is white Women it should be called BLMTWW.
It's up to us Keyboard Warriors.
Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!

Also Al Gore Sr. was involved too.
So the next time anyone blames “Republicans” for anything, make sure to say the claim is “partially false” because Mitt Romney would have opposed it.
The Democrats maltreatment of blacks during and since the Civil War has been pretty much glossed over and a great number of blacks still believe the BS fed to them by the party and lame street media.
Down on the demtation still.
Who cares
You guys worship the Civil Rights Acts
Ever studied where all that led
To now is where
Do any dumbasses here know who opposed it beside Dixiecrats
Reagan
Buckley
Goldwater
Check 1964 election map
Quit aping talk radio
They mean well but helped get us to where we are
And I’m listening to Rush right now
“Nazis killed 6,000,000 Jews during WWII.”
Fact Check: Partly true - not every Nazi killed a Jew.
Here is another interesting point... it was originally the Civil Rights Act of 1959, not 1964.. so what took them so long? Also, who voted in support of women voting? Here is a hint... it wasn’t democrats.. Who voted against blacks owning guns to protect themselves from the Democratic clan? It was Democrats.
