Liberal Bigotry

What a pile of crap...

Racism and bigotry were hallmarks of the south... The 1964 Civil Right Bill is a great example...

The bill was introduced by a Democrat; President John F. Kennedy in his civil rights speech of June 12, 1963.

The Bill was pushed through by a Democrat; Lyndon Johnson.

He had help from northern Democrats and northern Republicans after a 54 day filibuster by the southern block, or Dixiecrats. Senators Everett Dirksen (R-IL), Thomas Kuchel (R-CA), Hubert Humphrey (D-MN), and Mike Mansfield (D-MT) introduced a substitute bill to attract enough Republican votes to end the filibuster.

The conference bill was passed by both houses of Congress, and was signed into law by President Johnson on July 2, 1964. Legend has it that as he put down his pen Johnson told an aide, "We have lost the South for a generation."

The original House version:

* Southern Democrats: 7-87 (7%-93%)
* Southern Republicans: 0-10 (0%-100%)

* Northern Democrats: 145-9 (94%-6%)
* Northern Republicans: 138-24 (85%-15%)

The Senate version:

* Southern Democrats: 1-20 (5%-95%)
* Southern Republicans: 0-1 (0%-100%)
* Northern Democrats: 45-1 (98%-2%)
* Northern Republicans: 27-5 (84%-16%)

Notice there was NO SUCH THING as a Dixiecan... 11 total southern Republicans in BOTH houses... ZERO votes...

Yea, the southern Democrats were bigots, and so were the southern Republicans and conservatives!

"Reading through the threads today, it occurred to me, liberals always tend to be bigoted in their views."

"Nope, not ALL anything is anything, that would be a bigoted viewpoint."


Is anybody besides me laughing at the irony of these two statements? :D

I've highlighted a fairly important word in the statement you are misinterpreting. There is no irony.

Actually, I think placing people in a stereotyped box is indicative of ingrained bigotry and prejudice. I don't automatically say, since you vote Democrat, you are going in the Pinhead box! There are a number of qualifiers which make someone a pinhead, and I only use it when it applies.

I admit, I do have a little bigoted prejudice toward liberals, I try to still keep an open mind about the individual, perhaps they can't help their pinheaded liberal upbringing? Not their fault, and it's not fair for me to blame them. They are just products of their environment. Some of my closest and dearest friends are liberal and more pinheaded than some people here! Yes, I know it's hard to believe, but true.

As for the Confederate battle flag, my ancestors fought and died under that flag, they never owned slaves or knew anyone who did, and my family has never advocated slavery or racism in any way, they were simply Southern people who were fighting for their homeland. They didn't get to pick sides, they didn't make a conscious decision to back racism and slavery, they just happened to be born in a Southern state. Yet you, and your pinhead buddies, have so stigmatized the Civil War, the Confederate Flag, and Southerners in general, through your own prejudice and bigotry. It doesn't matter how decent my ancestors were, doesn't matter that my great-grandparents fed and clothed many a black child, or that I have 1/16 African-American blood, nope... I'm from the South, I go by Dixie, and I have Rebel flag on my avatar, I MUST be put in the "Racist" box!

It's wonderful that your ancestors did the right thing for which you are now taking credit, they were not alone. Now it's time to add your voice in opposition to those using that flag and galantry to further their bigotry.
Physician, heal thyself.

But see, here's the thing, that flag represents something different to you than it does to me. What it represents to you, is something that was tied to that flag after the fact. To me, it represents honor to my ancestors who gave their lives fighting to protect their homeland. It's not my fault that racist people later adopted the flag as a symbol of their hate, I had nothing to do with that, and neither did my relatives. But, you don't care about that, do ya? Since you are a bigot who judges people based on such silly and superficial things, you've already prejudiced me, and it really doesn't matter why I display the Confederate flag, does it?

Here's what it's time to do... Stop judging people by stereotypes you've put on them. Stop assuming you know how people are or how they think, based on your bigoted prejudices.
 
Dixie you are why the republicans lost. It doesn't take a room temperature iq to call you out as a racist. Maybe the dumbest redneck to graduate bama.
Threedee you fucking virgin dork. Fuck u and your religion. Jah is the real god.
 
I admit to being bigotted about far right wingers.
I automatically assume they hate unions, taxes, abortion, welfare, and party above country.

Are you replying to my post? Why would you take exception to me suggesting that you oppose those who besmirch with their bigotry, the flag you say you love? Is it that your words don't match your reality? Maybe you truly can't see it.
You, accusing me of the bigotry so common from the people you align with, is laughable.

Oh, I didn't accuse you of it, you demonstrated it clearly in this thread. You ARE a bigot, plain and simple. You have formed an opinion based on a stereotype and a false impression of the Confederate flag and the South in general, and you have applied that to me, a person you don't even know. You don't know the first thing about my life or my story, yet you have cast judgment on me, based on your own prejudiced stereotypes. What is sad, is you don't appear to even realize you've done this, but such is often the case with bigots.
