APP - GOP consistent on race since its inception: equality.

Point of order: The title of this thread is "APP - GOP consistent on race since its inception: equality", which means that it is about race, not queers.

You wish to claim the thread is about equality when viewed under a very narrow and restricted subset. You want to discuss only the equality topics which make the GOP look magnanimous, and want to ignore anything that does not fit that very narrow viewpoint.

Sorry, I don't follow those sorts of rules very well.

Lets look at the line again: "Democrats have been consistent too, but for inequality".

But everyone should note, this entire thread is only about race. Any reference to any topic under which the GOP is shown to back inequality is just a diversion.

:good4u:

Glad I understand that the topic should only be as narrow as it can be, in order to make the GOP look grand the the Dems look evil.

The bill to renew the Act was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, 390-33, with support from Republican House leadership, led by Judiciary Committee Chairman F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr.. The U.S. Senate passed the bill 98–0. This bill renewed the Act for another 25 years.
President George W. Bush signs the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act as lawmakers look on.

President George W. Bush signed the bill in a morning ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House on July 27, 2006, one year in advance of the 2007 expiration date. The audience included members of the families of slain civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. Also in attendance were the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, NAACP Chairman Julian Bond and other prominent African Americans.

'After 1964 civil rights legislation Republicans and Democrats switched positions on race' is a staple of the Liberal interpretation of history, written in modern textbooks and taught by the national teacher's unions.

A good student of history, however, 'questions authority'. The question here is: "does that make sense?" The answer is, of course not.

To understand the history of America one must first understand the history of the Civil War. That came about due to the Republican Party's insistence that Southern Democrats abide by the basic tenet of the Declaration of Independence: "all men are created equal". Instead they attempted to secede from the Union, and war erupted.

In North Carolina the eastern counties were the seat of wealth and power. They were settled by folks of primarily English ancestry and their slaves. These contained rich bottom lands and the landowners become wealthy growing tobacco and cotton, and with wealth comes political power.

The Piedmont counties were settled later by Germans immigrants and the mountain counties still later by Scots-Irish. Slavery was relatively uncommon in these areas since the culture of these immigrants was quite different; independent folk, many persecuted themselves by others claiming superiority by birthright. The inhabitants of these areas had little political power in the state and hence no real say in the decision to secede. Many did not support succession and especially in the mountain counties, many sided with the Republican Party and the Union cause.

Southern culture is such that enemies are not forgotten and rarely forgiven. After the War political power still resided in the east and the path of reconstructed railroads reflected this, with construction in the western Piedmont and mountain counties largely ignored. Sons and daughters of Civil War veterans told their children and grandchildren of the seditious acts of the "traitors"; For Republicans those who attempted to secede from the Union and for Democrats those who abandoned their fellow Carolinians.

Stories and prejudices get passed down through generations and this division between the two sides is still seen today. Political power is still centered in Raleigh and funding for road projects is still relatively meager in the western counties. The railroads still bypass Winston-Salem, a settlement of Moravians from Germany. Noise barriers in Wake County are hand-laid brick walls fitted to the landscape while those further west are precast concrete slabs supported by steel sections driven by crane-mounted vibratory hammers.

The county-by-county presidential election maps from as late as 2004 still show this division.

Republicans and Democrats didn't switch positions on race. Democrats still believe that African descendants are inferior so require "Affirmative Action". Republicans still believe that all men are created equal and insist that they thus carry their own weight or face the consequences.

Yep, when they are running scared, they always use the race card.
 
Because the issue raised by the OP was about which party is fighting for equality.

Please cite ONE thing a homosexual is prohibited from doing on the basis of their sexuality, that every one else in society is allowed to do? If you fail to do this, you have not shown any "inequality" regarding homosexuals. Before you bring up Gay Marriage, it's important to note, no one in society can marry someone of the same sex, we are all treated equally.
