Bullshit. I responded to your statement that Dems should apologize to African-Americans for (on Planet Penske) trying to prevent the Civil Rights Act from passing. When I pointed out how utterly full of shit you were, you had to look back another hundred years to try and say something else meaningful (try, but fail).
We might not have needed the civil rights act were it not for decades of Southern Democrats subverting the results of the Republican prosecuted Civil War and the intent of 14th and 15th Amendments. Can't have it both ways Sidd, your party is at least as complicit and probably more. Given my choice of low level associations, I'll take the party that once tried to block the civil rights act (with Democratic assistance, Senator Byrd) over the party that tried to perpetuate slavery and has a former Kleagle as its Conscience.
