Dear Democrats,
Please name an example of legislation which improved black freedom, economic improvement or educational improvement that had more Democratic support than Republican.

I will wait.
The fact that you need to ask shows just how uneducated you are.
And if you're trying to say that Republicans are on the side of improving the lives of black Americans, then why is Trump currently receiving a 0% approval rate from blacks.
The people who vote democrat are the uneducated ones.
And yes, Republicans have always been better for the black community than the Democrats. It's a fact.
The people who vote democrat are the uneducated ones.Ironic coming from a Trump supporter. He makes fun of disabled people yet he's more brain dead than they ever were.
And yes, Republicans have always been better for the black community than the Democrats. It's a fact.No wonder this country's IQ has gotten significantly lower in the past year, the moral process of a Trump supporter. share
No answer to the question: FAIL
You can't even help your democrat friends with an answer can you.
Democrats stand on the backs of every color and race they can. They parade mothers of victims for us to pity. They support countries and religions who honor murder their own women, who throw homosexuals off of roofs, and will not even allow any other ideals but their own.
Yup...too stupid to know all of this, I guess I better vote for who the media tells me to!
Since you refuse to do research for me because I'm too lazy and/or partisan to do it myself, I must therefore be right.
Google "onus probandi" if you don't understand why you're being dishonest.
@mrjgman
Oh, God I know, tell me about it. There's people that think the Democrats won the civil war. Yes, the education is very poor in America's public schools.
Curious,
When did Trump make fun of disabled people? Last I checked, he was flailing his arms around while referring to a flustered Sergi Kovaleski. It is a physical impossibility for Mr. Kovaleski to flail in that same manner. If Trump wanted to make fun of him, all he would have to do is hold his hand down in a rigid and fixed position similar to Mr. Kovaleski's condition.
Knowledge is a useful thing.
Stop making yourself look like a tool.
As for my IQ, I'm in the top 2% of intelligence.... in the world. #MENSA
The whole world observed him making fun of the disabled reporter, mocking the way he moves in his disability. And that is just one example of Trump's juvenile personality. You can ignore it and pretend it was something it wasn't, but anyone who is not part of the Trump cult saw that for what it was - it was the same as you see school children doing.

Because Hillary and these democrat elitists are con artists. There are actually many blacks waking up and realizing how full of sh** the Democratic Party is and switching over. The democrats just use blacks and other minorities to pander for votes. It's all a a facade. Seriously, check out the DNC Leak about how to "treat Hispanics like a brand". They gave a detailed outline and treat them more like a product than a person. All the democrats see are votes not people.

Trump's black support explodes in biggest battleground state

Your source is fanatical right wing conspiracy theory nutbag site. Well I can see why you are so deluded. You people take everything that your party does and attribute it to the 'other' side - it's called 'projection.' Do you think there's a reason that the KKK and other white supramicist groups support Trump? Is it coz he and his party are so kind to those of other races? Seriously, you people are so far gone into alt-reality that your spin doctors and shock jocks can say literally anything without facts to back them up, and you believe them. This "documentary" a case in point.
If you want real, unbiased fact checking, check this site. http://www.politifact.com/subjects/
And here's an answer to the original question posed by the OP. Minorities do better under democratic leadership, as do whites. Try learning facts instead of believing propaganda.

That's all you can say to discredit a site is that they are nutty? I'm sorry but the truth can only be seen when you open your eyes and mind to everything. I know this film is right wing propaganda and I'm not a Republican, so why are you saying I am? Oh, that's right, you've been brainwash by the media into believing I am out of your own ignorance.
Those fact check sites are known to be bias, in fact most media is left leaning bias. It's how they control your mind. Wikileaks released info about how Hillary said she has two sides to every issue or policy, a public side and a private side, meaning she'll say one thing and believe another just to have the power over her voters. So pretty much SHE LIES a lot. Another leak from the Clinton campaign email says this:
“And as I’ve mentioned, we’ve all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an UNAWARE AND COMPLIANT CITIZENRY,” “The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking – and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging.”
So like the good and compliant unaware sheep that you are, she's "got you by the p***y"
So what? All politicians have a public and private face, and if you think they don't, you are living in lala land. When do we get to see the Wikileaks of the Trump campaign? Oh that's right, Assange wanted Trump to win so he wouldn't have to face his charges.
And if you source your information from a ridiculous sight that trades in misinformation and conspiracy theories, how do you expect anyone to take you seriously?
Politifact use fact checking and real stats. If they seem left wing, it simply means that objective reality has a left-wing bias.
I simply am not there...
"So what?" That is the problem, you accept it like it's okay because all politicians are like that. It's not okay, people need to hold them accountable and in Hillary's case it seems like hey did, so bravo to that.
shareOf course, but she was witch hunted like we've never seen before. The Bush administration deleted millions of emails over the falsified reasons for invading Iraq and we hear barely a whisper over that. We do need to weed the political gardens of all the rotten fruit, and that includes the current administration, which is filled with billionaires and deeply corrupt officials before it's too late.
I simply am not there...

There is nothing more racist than to point out someone's color and say they need help or special treatment because of it! That puts them down! We have to stop seeing, saying, acknowledging, pointing out, making exceptions for, helping just because, feeling guilty because we are not, any race, color or CREED!!
We are Americans...nothing more, nothing less.
Someone wrote something like that down somewhere didn't they?
You mean like Diamond & Silk, two lovely African American ladies who love Trump and are a YouTube sensation? Or like ALL of the people at the Trump headquarters in my capital city who were African American making calls to undecided voters?

Voting reflects little on facts.
And if you're trying to say that Republicans are on the side of improving the lives of black Americans, then why is Trump currently receiving a 0% approval rate from blacks.
The fact that you actually believe what you post shows how uneducated you are. Zero approval rating from blacks? Just exactly how obtuse are you?
shareLogical fallacy.
shareThe first black president was impeached in 1998 for messing with a young white gal and lying about it. He didn't do one dadgum thing to improve blacks.
Likewise, Obama, who is 50% black, has done nothing for blacks, except for his wife and kids. And Obama doesn't even have a slave heritage to relate to or use as a scapegoat.
Sen. Robert Byrd and Sen. Al Gore, Sr. both were well-known segregationists who led the Democrat Senate in filibustering the Civil Rights Act for over 7 weeks.
When it was finally passed, LBJ (who frequently used racist epithets in his private conversations) thanked the Republicans at the signing ceremony for helping to get it passed over Democrat objections.
It's sad that you had to go back nearly 60 years to find the last time your party helped the blacks.

@profbrane
Depends, how much time you got? It started around a war were the democrats lost then that trickles on down through history.
You'll still be waiting after you're dead.
shareWhat a ridiculously easy question to answer. Learn some history!
Civil Rights Act (1964) - passed by 196 Democrats & 165 Republicans
Voting Rights Act (1965) - passed by 266 Democrats & 141 Republicans
(Source: Wikipedia)
Other federal programs that passed into law by a majority of Democrats which increased freedom, health, educations, standards of living, etc include:
- Medicare,
- Medicaid,
- Social Security (FICA),
- OSHA,
- Clean Air Act,
- Clean Water Act,
- Superfund Law (RCRA),
- Americans with Disabilities Act,
- Family and Medical Leave Act,
- Fair Housing Act,
- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP),
- Children's Insurance Program,
- Affordable Care Act,
- Head Start Program,
- Affirmative Action Programs,
- Federal Guaranteed Student Loans,
- Consumer Fraud Protection Act,
- Fair Labor Standards Act,
etc., etc., etc.
You can look up the exact names of the bills that enacted these programs and the numbers of Democrats versus Republicans that supported each yourself! When you do you will see the GOP's sad track record of opposing social progress and greater freedom and better health for the poor and victimized of society. (I got better things to do than educate rightwing Kool-Aid drinking dittoheads like you.)
Of course most of these bills helped improve the standards of living for everyone, but environmental protection and worker safety laws, etc always have the greatest positive impact on poor and minority communities, because they are the ones most likely to live in polluted neighborhoods or to work in dangerous jobs, or be unable to pay for care for a sick child, etc. No greater diminishment of freedom than to be sick or dying, but be denied access to affordable health care (or to be forced like the people of Flint, MI to live in an area where poisonous water comes out of the tap).
There you go. That's all I could think of off the top of my head. You want more? Or, have I embarrassed enough already? I think that should be sufficient.
Nice attempt. Using your own examples and source let's present that actual numbers and percentages of support. That was the question asked, not which party had more people in the house and congress at the time. You can't just claim it was a Democrat accomplishment because they had more numbers, you have to look at the percentages of both support and rejection by each party.
Civil Rights Act 1964. A straight copy/paste from your source.
By party
The original House version:[20]
Democratic Party: 152–96 (61–39%)
Republican Party: 138–34 (80–20%)
Cloture in the Senate:[21]
Democratic Party: 44–23 (66–34%)
Republican Party: 27–6 (82–18%)
The Senate version:[20]
Democratic Party: 46–21 (69–31%)
Republican Party: 27–6 (82–18%)
The Senate version, voted on by the House:[20]
Democratic Party: 153–91 (63–37%)
Republican Party: 136–35 (80–20%)
Those numbers in parentheses indicate the percentages. In every case there was a higher percentage of Republican support and a higher percentage of Democrat rejection of the legislation.
Voting Rights Act 1965. Passed with 333-85 vote (Democrats 221-61, Republicans 112-24). So of these two groups, 27.6% of Democrats and 21.4% of Republicans were against passing. Likewise a higher percentage of Republicans supported and passed that legislation.
Do yourself a favor next time you attempt to be condescending and try to "school" someone about history. First I suggest you actually read the question and second get your facts straight. In both your examples the evidence is clear that a higher percentage of Republicans supported both of these acts and a higher percentage of Democrats rejected them.
So much for the "GOP's sad track record of opposing social progress and greater freedom and better health for the poor and victimized of society." Hopefully those "better things" you have to do other than "educate rightwing Kool-Aid drinking dittoheads" include going back to school. If you do, just some friendly advice from an MBA grad, drop Wikipedia as your "go-to" source if you want to be taken seriously. Now, do YOU "want more or have YOU been embarrassed enough"?
@westrumjr-10960:
Dear God, but that was beautiful.
Guarantee you we won't be hearing from Mr. Condescension any further on this thread.
Don't you think you need a little historical context to make the comparison? Like acknowledging that in 1964 a large percentage of Democratic congress members were Dixiecrats (roughly equivalent to today's conservative Republicans)?
As I said in my "Republican KKK is okay?" thread, it's revealing that D'Souza neglects to mention the support of Trump by the KKK today.
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/richmond-kkk-leader-endorses-donald-trump

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/03/19/former-kkk-grand-dragon-explains-why-racists-like-trump.html
I notice that D'Souza never directly comes out for Trump in the film. I'm guessing he wants "deniability." In other words, if Trump does anything distasteful, which he does almost every day, he can say "I didn't really endorse him." That's his cowardly strategy. But if the whole message of the film is how evil the Democrats are, D'Souza is endorsing Trump by default. He is saying he's willing to support the candidate of the Imperial Wizard of the Klan. Anybody who isn't a Democrat is okay.
@tgemberi
People can vote for whoever they want. Has nothing to do with Trump. I'm not going to associate Obama with black panthers because they endorsed him.
All you have done, westrumjr-10960, is prove that numbers can be manipulated to say anything.
shareWow, great rebuttal, westrumjr.
share@tompage1
Well said Sir
At least in my country we only need to tolerate the Donald through Golf Clubs.
I really do worry for the sanity of people who vote for him.
And.. as yet his rhetoric has been just that...rhetoric
Hillary, undoubtedly is not perfect but apart from a hard cell Bernie Sanders just didn't get the votes.
Nb
Bernie for President and Dr. Cornel West for his running mate
That should get the Trump voters riled
(Note I said Trump voters and not republicans, coz' Abraham Lincoln would be spinning in his grave with Trump's candidcy)
I read all the blog responses written here to this subject. Only one Democrat voter had something tangible to say in response to a Republican voter's statement. The rest of the Democrat supporters, such as your post, deflected (a growing skill among Democratic supporters), used plenty of words, yet said nothing, and focused on Trump's language and behavior that one often sees on the news as their reason to not vote for him.
I have never voted for a Republican candidate for President, but I will this year and it has nothing to do with Trump. I find it so ironic that Americans now find words to be more criminal than actual criminal actions. The foulness of a person's words are more unacceptable than acts against American security and lying to a Federal Council. This is what I see from Democrats today.
There's an old saying, "Actions speak louder than words." To the portion of people that apply common sense to their voting choices, they are applying that old saying. For the many voters that overlook all the criminal behavior Hillary has exhibited because they don't like the language the opposing candidate uses, they have tossed this old saying to the wayside, along with common sense and common decency for all American voters.
As I said above, I read all the posts here and only one Democrat supporter had something tangible to say, and it was manipulative. I've read many other posts about political news articles and find the same thing consistently: Democrats insult and berate but rarely support their thinking with tangible information. They regurgitate what they've heard on the news instead of actually investigating what they are opening their mouths to support.
Don't get me wrong, all party dogs display such behavior, but, honestly, and sadly, over the last year I have noticed Republican voters, on an average, are more informed and more aware. Read the posts with an open mind and be honest to yourself. You will see this is true.
There you go. That's all I could think of off the top of my head. You want more? Or, have I embarrassed enough already? I think that should be sufficient.
Cuter guy?
