I've posted civil rights history truth before. Fact is, Democrats have not been THE civil rights leaders the past 200 years as they claim on their website's history page. Not even close. They've been dragged, kicking and screaming to the Black and other civil rights tables all along. It's true that they've finally caught up with Republican support in the past couple of decades on Black civil rights but to think they've led the fight all along is nothing short of delusional assuming of course that historical facts are relevant.
Case in point: The roles of John and Bobby Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson. Just because they finally, grudgingly signed civil rights legislation into law does not mean they or other Democrats were the primary leaders of those accomplishments. Here's a more honest explanation of what actually happened which even Bill O'Reilly treats incompletely if not wrongly.
The liberal re-write of their Black civil rights (lack of) support is interesting in the context of the narrative that a large majority of Americans have been led to believe. Truth is an illusive and inconvenient thing any more where powerful political agendas rule over reason and even common sense. Does truth matter? Can we have a truly "honest" ... much less fair and respectful ... conversation about race as the president insisted a couple of weeks back when the party most demanding honesty can't muster it themselves on this subject?
