In the past, it has always been Republicans who passed all civil and human rights legislation. While the Democratic Party started as a racist political party, the Republican Party started as the Party opposed to slavery. All Civil Rights legislation has been passed by Republicans. Rights for the disabled came under a Republican President, H Bush. The guarantee to medical care in crisis came under President Reagan. Even cell phones for emergencies to the poor came from W. Bush, not Obama. Now, again, like with Reagan, it will be REPUBLICANS who will give legal status and a path to citizenship to DACA immigrants. The Democratic Party does NOTHING but false talk and endlessly fostering racial segregation and social division as it has from it's birth. Democrats may be surprised if it turns out that Latinos and blacks increasingly realize that it is the rich white limousine class Democrats who are their enemies - and Republicans are their allies in every way that actually matters. Equality. Respect. Jobs. Mostly, the view that "we-the-people" has nothing not with a person's race or gender - while the Democratic Party sees, stereotypes and puts in their place everyone upon their race and gender.
All civil rights legislation has been passed by Republicans? Is that what Sean and Rush are telling you? You mean the Civil Rights Act of 1964 wasn't a civil rights act? Medicare is not "human rights"? Nor SS? Family medical leave act? Unemployment compensation? Voting Rights Act? Apparently, you have to have a very selective reading of history to be a conservative/Republican. Either that, or rely on RW propaganda for your world view.
Democrats; the party of the KKK, Jim Crowe, BLM, antifa. I wish I knew in my youth what I know now. I would have never voted for Kerry or Obama.
Most blacks appar From what polling I've seen, most blacks do not agree that their civil rights issues are the same as those of gays. Trying to link the two has backfired on Democrats in the past. The smaller the political body's population area, the more you are likely to get extreme legislation, laws and ordinances of just about any kind whether leftwing or rightwing.
I see. Suddenly it's only about race, despite your opening post also mentioning "human rights", the rights of the disabled, guarantees of medical care in crisis, DACA, Latinos, and gender. I did not suggest that the civil rights issues of black people and gay people are the same. They are not. So your response is attacking a straw man. But thanks for affirming that Republicans have no interest in the civil or human rights of gay people; that they don't want to be our allies in things that really matter, like "Equality. Respect. Jobs"; that they don't consider us to even be a part of "we, the people". Which is why I said, "unless you're gay." Here's the thing: It's not my job to convince Republicans of any of those things. It's up to them to convince me that they're worthy of my support. So far, you're not doing such a great job.
