[@stephenbryant5251]

You’re wrong. LBJ was a racist. The only reason why LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was due to the fact that he did not want to be considered a racist for not signing the bill into law. His logic: “If blacks are going to vote, they might as well vote for Democrats.” This isn’t taught in schools.

So It is not surprising to me that whites in the south tried to hang on to their hateful racist policies that they gripped African Americans with for 100 years after the emancipation proclamation. They did everything they could to oppress blacks until President Johnson finally had to desegregate their schools and voting places by military force. All people are now free.

[@jb-vb8un]

@@jgiza8888 agree ... adding to that - - - REPUBLICAN Eisenhower proposed, fought for and signed the Civil Rights Act of 1957-the first civil rights legislation in 82 years. The president presented the comprehensive bill in his 1957 State of the Union address. Contrary to the popular myth that Senate majority leader Lyndon B. Johnson’s backroom dealing saved the Civil Rights Act from defeat, the bill was not Johnson’s triumph; it was Eisenhower’s. Johnson led Southern senators in a fight against a provision that empowered the attorney general to sue in federal court to protect a broad range of civil rights, including school desegregation. DEMOCRAT LBJ forced Eisenhower to capitulate or face the prospect of passing no bill at all. Johnson and the Southerners also added an amendment guaranteeing jury trials for civil rights violators, a requirement that, given all-white juries in the South, made conviction unlikely. Ike pushed back and won a compromise that softened the amendment. Thanks to Eisenhower’s leadership, 37 Senate Republicans supported the final version of the 1957 bill, but the “Master of the Senate,” Johnson, could muster only 27 Democratic votes. The legislation established the Civil Rights Commission and the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, which have publicized and prosecuted civil rights violations ever since. Eisenhower had broken the Southern stranglehold on civil rights legislation and, with passage of a voting rights act in 1960, set the stage for the groundbreaking legislation of 1964-65.

[@jb-vb8un]

@@jgiza8888 Johnson and the Democrat plantation The New Deal Coalition began to fracture as union and religious leaders demanded support for civil rights, upsetting the party's traditional base of Democrat segregationists who themselves became dependent on government largess. In 1948 the party platform for the first time in its history showed some support for civil rights. The Republicans passed civil rights legislation with the 13th Amendment, 14th Amendment, 15th Amendment, Emancipation Proclamation, the Civil Rights Act of 1875, and first passed anti-lynching legislation in 1922, which Democrats killed by filibusters. The party's reversal on civil rights culminated with Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson finally signing the bi-partisan Civil Rights Act of 1964, which he called "the N****r Bill." In lobbying fellow Democrats for the bill, Johnson said, "I'll have them n*gg*rs voting Democratic for two hundred years." Democrats tried to block passage by filibustering for 75 hours, including a 14-hour and 13-minute speech by the Exalted Cyclops, Sen. Robert Byrd, who later became Senate Democrat Leader in the Reagan era. The filibuster failed when the Senate invoked cloture for only the second time since 1927. The law was intended to block Republican gains in the South followed by buying off Blacks with Great Society welfare and affirmative action programs. According to LBJ biographer Robert Caro, Johnson told his chauffeur: "Let me tell you one thing, n*gg*r. As long as you are black, and you’re gonna be black till the day you die, no one’s gonna call you by your g*dd*mn name. So no matter what you are called, n*gg*r, you just let it roll off your back like water, and you’ll make it. Just pretend you’re a g*dd*mn piece of furniture."

[@alexandernahan6768]

@@jb-vb8un That bill didn;t do jack shit and everybody knows it.

[@jb-vb8un]

@@alexandernahan6768 ya got no facts regarding "everybody" - - - When the first Brown ruling was announced, REPUBLICAN Eisenhower immediately ordered the District of Columbia commissioners to develop a desegregation plan for the city’s schools; that was accomplished within a week. In a press conference, Eisenhower made a soldierly pledge to enforce the decision without commenting on the merits of the case-a move that many have misinterpreted as disagreement with the ruling. But in addition to Earl Warren, Ike appointed to the Supreme Court four stalwart supporters of desegregation: John Marshall Harlan II, William Brennan, Charles Evans Whittaker and Potter Stewart. REPUBLICAN Eisenhower also refused to appoint known segregationists to the lower federal courts. In an attempt to depoliticize the appointment process, the president and Attorney General Brownell moved it from the White House to the Justice Department and instituted American Bar Association assessment of potential nominees. When Brownell left office in 1957, Eisenhower continued to appoint pro-desegregation judges in the South. DEMOCRAT KKK SUPORTER President John F. Kennedy, in contrast, returned to appointing segregationists. As a result, the civil rights movement migrated from the courts to the streets. On September 24, 1957, Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne Division into Little Rock, Arkansas, to enforce a federal court order by one of his own appointees to desegregate Central High School. Governor Orval Faubus had deployed the Arkansas National Guard to bar nine black students from attending the school. After meeting with the president and agreeing to change the orders of the Guard to protect the black students, Faubus instead withdrew the troops, leaving the students at the mercy of the mob. That is when Eisenhower acted. In a televised address to the nation on the night of the 24th, Eisenhower vowed, “The president and the executive branch of government will support and ensure the carrying out of the decisions of the federal courts, even, when necessary, with all the means at the president’s command.” For decades, historians have assumed, thanks to the important legislation passed in 1964-65, that John F. Kennedy and Lyndon V Johnson were the era’s great civil rights leaders and that Eisenhower failed to “speak out” on the issue. But Ike’s record speaks for itself. JFK and LBJ did not commit to the cause until 1963, when horrific violence in the South compelled them to. It is time, finally, to bury the myth that Ike did nothing on civil rights. In the 1950s, Dwight Eisenhower was more progressive in advancing African-American civil rights than Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy or Lyndon Johnson.

People will try to tell you that the draft during the Vietnam war & the assignments into combat roles was disadvantages to blacks, but that’s not true. Only 25% of troops were drafted into the services, 75% were volunteers. Of troops who served in combat roles (infantry, artillery, armor & aviation) only 12.1% were black with the African American population being 13.4% of the overall population, so blacks were slightly under represented in combat in Vietnam. Of combat deaths (58,600), African American were only 12.5% with whites suffering 86.3% and Hispanics?at 5.1%. Folks that served in a particular unit that may have been assigned many African Americans but that was likely to be only in rear echelon roles, away from the fighting.
