Quote:but the fact that the US passed the Civil Rights Act to me demonstrates that they were at a point of societal change,
Um...we had a president who championed the Act and who had just had his fucking head blown off and STILL the bill was fillibustered by members of his own party. Yes, Johnson got it passed but could not have done so without the help of Senator Everitt Dirksen a republican. Johnson noted when he signed the bill that he had just lost the South for the Democrats for 50 years. His time is up and the whites in the south are getting worse, not better.
So much for "societal change."
