The utter irrelevance of "more Republicans than Democrats voted for the CRA"

[Kingpoleon]

Consider the other historical fact that Senator Barry Goldwater - who Ronald Reagan quite famously endorsed for the Republican presidential nomination with his keynote address at the 1964 Republican National Convention - voted against the Civil Rights Act.

Today, white Southerners are the single largest and most loyal bloc of Republican voters, particularly at the presidential and congressional levels. But I am sure that none of these historical and political trends are related to the Civil Rights Act's passage in 1964.

YOU LIE! - Joe Wilson

Ronald Reagan did not keynote at the GOP convention in 1964. He did not speak. He did not even attend. Once again, lying to serve political purposes.

Also, if 1964 Goldwater makes one a racist:

Tbf Gerald Ford was perfectly fine with letting open housing provisions get torn apart.

Tbf Gerald Ford did want to boycott a game because of the opposing team's racism. You know, Carter went to a church/denomination which was segregated.

Insult the others as much as you want, but Gerald Ford was not a racist by any means. Even if the South always votes for the most racist candidate, Ford lost the South overwhelmingly.
