Keep in mind that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 would have never passed without Republican support, although they by no means were unanimous in that support.

This is really all part of the highly successful tactic of Southern Strategy started by Nixon. I just hate it when people say things like "But the Democrats supported slavery and the Republicans ended it!" because it shows such an ignorance of basic history and political realignments. There's a reason why 90% of blacks vote Democratic and it's not because Democrats are the real racists.
