republicans then and now .. NOT the same mindset,, Republicans were the 'liberals'

Miss Harmony this is why I and others lump you in with the Democrats
2) Democrats cannot be honest even with their smear tactics.
3) my point, you cannot compare 1956 America to 2018 America, different issues then and now
and if you want really nitpick Miss Harmony I can provide proof that the Republicans then cared more about the Black folks known as "Negroes" back then.
Look at the Republican and Democrat Platform of 1956
The republicans actually mentions helping "the negroes" and "negroes" are not mentioned once in the Democrat Platform, as a matter of fact the Democrat opposed using force to enforce the Supreme court decision of allowing Segregation
Care to explain that?
Proof just incase you think Im full of shite

XI. Civil Rights
Recent decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States relating to segregation in publicly supported schools and elsewhere have brought consequences of vast importance to our Nation as a whole and especially to communities directly affected. We reject all proposals for the use of force to interfere with the orderly determination of these matters by the courts
And they were praising Woodrow Wilson's policies, you do know that Woodrow Wilson was a huge racist right?

Civil Rights
The many Negroes who have been appointed to high public positions have played a significant part in the progress of this Administration.
Segregation has been ended in the District of Columbia Government and in the District public facilities including public schools, restaurants, theaters and playgrounds. The Eisenhower Administration has eliminated discrimination in all federal employment.
hmmmmmmm, seems like the Republicans were out to help us black folks while the Democrats didn't really care.
So which party is the racist party?
my point was also that you cant compare then to now, so whats the issue?
Republicans seem to love making the point of how their party IS the party of civil rights, backing it by referencing what their party USED to stand for.
