Lyndon Johnson gets credit for signing the civil rights act. But the fact is he killed the civil rights act three times while he was in Congress throughout the Eisenhower administration who pushed very hard to get it passed. And it passed with almost universal Republican support, and very few Democrats voted for the civil rights act.
To be fair, it’s hard to explain anything to certain people. They don’t have the intellectual wherewithal to grasp complex concepts. Only 30% can comprehend a basic graph. 15% or so can read at grade level in 12th grade.

Bravo, on this conversation guy's. All fact's , I am black man who grew up in America and have had this conversation to plugged ears for years. Until now, our people are waking up finally.
I just don't think black people care enough about politics sadly and I think it's because they've been beaten down by the Democratic party and given up any hope. The most amazing thing is the Democratic party knows it and they take advantage of it. Sadly African American demographic is the one demographic who has suffered the most the last 60 years yet it's been all under complete Democrat control. You would think more people would wake up. I do believe black men have woke up especially younger men but the women is a different story it's bad like 95% bad
As a black man to another black man what did this even inform you on. Stephen A rambles about almost nothing and my take away is that He considers voting republican but literally never will despite acknowledging the conditioning affecting black culture and that in his OWN experience in the last 8 years he would have vote for Clinton...he voted for Biden and now WOULD have voted for Haley who is not in the race and was never going to be the Republican nominee. So what did we learn. Basically: "Yeah we're brainwashed. That's bad. Anyways I'm gonna keep voting Dem"
Stephen A Smith has always talked this way in front of other republicans....i use to listen to his radio show and then go home and watch him on TV. My biggest problem with him is he seems to change how he feels based on who he's around
it’s more so he agrees with some republican talking points and agrees with some democrat talking points. If he’s around republicans he speaks about talking points he agrees with. he’s not changing just showing different sides
On cable news they interrupt the targeted guest mid-sentence and ascribe to him some crazy narrative that they made up, and then keep interrupting him when he tries to explain that he never said such a thing. That is how they gaslight, and unfortunately people fall for it...shame on them. Viewers need to also be thinkers.
Boom. I was watching the Lemon - Musk interview. You can tell Lemon came from cable news. The amount of times he interrupted Musk was insane. I know time constraints but its honestly annoying. Jim Cramer also does this. He did this with Jensen Huang it was kinda annoying I can't lie.
I agree. PBD listens and lets people talk. That is a show of respect because you shouldn't hate an uninformed person, you should try to get them to let you educate them. He knows how to sell an idea and that is extelremely admirable.
He only allows his guests to speak when he agrees with them. If he's in disagreement with his guests, he interrupts or is very combative. I've watched several of his interviews.
Everything Stephen A Smith said was spot on. And everything he said will go out the window on election day. Stephen A Smith will vote blue, no matter who, no matter what, no matter why. They still have 140 years to go.

You can't focus on community because black persons are not a nation of people. It's a collective of individuals with no nationality. When as a nation so-called black Americans learn who they are everything changes. EVERYTHING.
Why can conservative podcasters have a sane interview with a liberals, but a liberal Podcaster cannot have any type of sane conversation with conservatives?
because democrats are generally more emotional by temperament. Also, democrats believe they're morally superior so the other side is "evil," or " racist."
Because conservatives are largely sane , good people, contrary to popular media opinion. Liberals absolutely despise conservatives and they can’t hide it. Look at MSNBC, CNN and the View. Vile human beings!
He lives in NJ and did say in the past he voted for him as Governor. I live in NJ and Christie was super popular and could have beaten Obama in 2012 if he ran. Then he got arrogant in his 2nd term and Trump just overshadowed him in 2016 in terms of being brash.
@@kevinh3979The dumb comment was the guy who mocked SAS for considering voting for Christie. I guarantee the comment was made by a Trump voter. They demean anyone who doesn’t bow to their lord and savior Donald. If you like any candidate other than Trump, you are ridiculed, called a RINO, or a traitor. I saw this happening all through the primary. Then you’ll be the same one’s complaining when Trump loses again as to why the Republican Party can’t coalesce in the general election?
Imagine your enemy telling you exactly how they defeated you and shaking his hand for it then going back to continue to lose… that’s exactly SAS. I can’t comprehend it.
I have known about that quote from LBJ my whole life. It makes me so angry that most people think it’s an urban legend. LBJ was racist. If Kennedy were in politics today he’d be considered a republican. And it was the republicans that carried the civil rights act.
thats how dumb and delusional the left is. theyre like a cult and its more sad than frustrating. All you have to tell them is the parties switched and they believe it even though that lie has been thoroughly debunked
I grew up in N. Central Texas. I'm 71 y.o. I remember the white/"colored" water fountains. I couldn't understand why. My parents never used the "N" word or vocalized any prejudices. I have never looked at the color of a person. Yet, I am very tired of being called a racist because of the color of MY skin.
@@albergeron5341 No need to apologize brother, if anyone judges you for the actions of others then they arent worth apologizing to anyways. Plus, most of the "all white people are racist" claims come from other white people lmao!
While I understand your feelings, as Blk man, understand the majority of us do not look at you that way. Something is happening in the media that is creating this narrative, and it's not coming from a Blk consensus. With that being said... how you feel, is how Blk men have felt for decades. Portrayed as lazy, shiftless, over-sexualized, brutish, angry, violent, aggressive, and deviant. To watch it being portrayed in various racial tropes over and over in Hollywood. *It doesn't feel good to called something because of the color of your skin, does it?* You're not my enemy, and I'm not yours. We need to recognize who IS, band together, and do something about it. The system has been pitting us against each other since the Jamestown rebellion of 1676.
Hello sir. Im a black man in his 30s and I am a little curious. What were the conversations like surrounding the conditions of black ppl found themselves in. Did your parents have conversations with you about there feelings surrounding segregation. Do you have any stories about being around ur parents and seeing discriminate acts perpetrated against black folks either in person or maybe in the media. If so can u express the sentiments that were felt by your family in these moments? Ps I believe you have a good heart, I just know it would be a rare circumstance for anyone like my father who grew up in Alabama and is a little older than you to be present to see how the general public felt about issues that may not have directly impacted them.
I agree but, there’s a superiority complex that comes with liberals. They just assume they’re always right. So you have to expose and discredit some of those talking points before you can think about policies. I’ve never gotten there.
I honestly don't even care if a single black vote goes to Republicans or not. Republicans, Libertarians, heck, vote for the Greens for all I care. Better yet, vote for people on a case by case basis regardless of party (I agree with Washington who warned against parties and said they were a bad idea). The only thing that gets my goat is that a significant plurality of black Americans stjll vote Democrat with all of the knowledge at their fingertips and somehow genuinely believe the totally obvious bs line that they "care" about them. They don't have to vote for Republicans if they don't want to. Heck, I often don't like them all that much sometimes either. Just don't vote for the blatantly racist and increasingly communist mafia disguised as a political party...
My father back in the early 70’s gave me one of the worst beatings of my life after I found some food stamps and went to the store and tried to spend them! I remember the lesson of that experience even until today and I’m turning 60 in may?
I beg to differ SAS! If you know real history “The Civil Rights Movement” and/or “Integration” was devastating for the Black communities. Hence LBJ mentioned “Uppiditty”. The establishment didn’t like Blacks consolidating economic power (e.g. Black owned Banks, Black owned LLC’s, Black Wall Street).
Wonderful point that is never spoken. Common people uniting for benefit of each other is not something that is acceptable by those greedy for power. Racism and inequality will always exist in all its forms. Most common people love and respect their neighbors and members of their community. This doesn’t help keep the division and distraction that those in charge need to strip all our rights. We are all on people!!! Just my thoughts.
@SwaggerLikeUz You’re wrong. Black & white folks in the South already lived around each other so it wasn’t about integration. The Civil Rights movement was about desegregation of the public sector. Just look at the 1954 Brown vs Board decision. The plaintiffs in that case wanted their kids to go to the schools close to their home instead of being bused miles away.
@@werewolfoffroadequipment8553 Practically no one wants to live in crime riddled inner-city/urban communities. The actual “black communities” are down south in the country. City black folks, particularly northern and west coast city people, hijacked the Civil Rights Movement.
People forget that Black Wall Street was rebuilt after the 1921 race massacre. It was "destroyed" by Integration. And now the average BLK dollar stays in our communities for less than 7 hours. Before the ink dries, most of our paychecks disappear to other communities. The average Asian dollar stays in their communities for 21+ days.
Yes, but everything is done to keep them there. If they try to better themselves, they are punished. Very frustrating for those who want out of that system
Man I don’t get how people can be so smart and still not see how hard the machine is fighting one person so hard it’s not even hidden anymore and still think that person is the enemy of the people
It's the constrained vs the unconstrained vision Thomas Sowell talks about. It's a world view. Some people are so fragile, if that world view crashes and burns, they have nothing left because it's literally the only thing they know and is used in making 100% of their decisions in life.
@@mothurmanI think that’s it. At the end of the day he still works for someone so he can’t have an unapproved narrative. He’s being careful. Like Kanye said where all on the plantation
Democrats this day look at black people as people they can manipulate. Leading up to every election the democrats give the black population plenty of attention, Getting them emotionally charged over some racist event that is blown out of proportion. After the election they are ignored for the next 4 years. What black Americans don't realize is that they are quickly being replaced as millions of hispanics are flooding across the border and democrats are redirecting resources that once went to black Americans now being given to foreigners.
Yes, you absolutely can. They’ve always been smart politicians. Like LBJ being blatantly racist but pretending otherwise when he saw opportunity. Biden being clearly racist until he realized he had to hide it. Hilary and Obama voting for the Iraq war because it was popular, then pretending otherwise. Obama being anti gay marriage his whole career, until he saw the tide of public opinion turning. LBJ is very similar to modern day democrats.
I'm Black and I vote Democrat because I live in a Republican state and it's shit ! Infrastructure all broken, corruption everywhere ......... I live in Alabama and when I go to Delaware everything is working no potholes , I feel safer ......
My old pastor was in Salem during the marches. 10-12 black pastors asked him to come and share a “word” with him.he showed up and said “open up ur bibles” they all looked at him like he was crazy. He looked at the pastor who invited him to come and asked what is going on? He replied. “We need u to give us a word, like a sermon because we don’t know how to read and write.” For the couple of years he would preach to the pastors in the area and they’d use his sermon. Nobody else knew this was going on until many years later. It’s a story I don’t think I’ll ever forget. Not bashing or praising anyone. Just find it fascinating, America was more united than the politicians want us to be. If there’s no division there’s no “helping” which means no votes.
black churches were weaponized by politicians to keep Black people in line by focusing on the “pie in the sky” salvation. As long as you expect your reward when you’re dead, you won’t demand more from the government while you’re alive. They are the politicians first like of defense. Because some of them get money under the table from Washington. They preach the democrats message from the pulpit.
@peartfaldo when white america takes accountability for how the past shaped the future. It's hard to assimilate when the neighborhoods are still affected by redlining and black wealth has been affected by the targeted dismanteling of things like the freedmans bank and black wall street etc which contributed to a lack of key institutions in the black community that would've been key for creating access to wealth for us I agree though. I think we should definitely be one and be an american community. But it's going to take some uncomfortable conversations and actions on both ends for that to happen.
@@marcuspickens25 why dont "successful" people... oprah.. obama..smith...etc tell America...or "black" america since we have to constantly divide....how they did it.

@justskot What you say seems right. 2 things though. 1. You don't win elections running as independent, Trump is not a Democrat of today, so he would have to be independent. 2. Maybe he is a new Republican. I don't think he is a Republican, definitely not a Republican of old, maybe the new Republican. Democrats are not Democrats of old, if they were, I'd vote Democrat maybe.
Lyndon knew what he was doing. 1965, in TN, AFTER signing Civil Rights, he said _”If you can convince the lowest wht man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Give him somebody to look down on, he’ll empty is pockets for you.”_ With the War on Poverty in 1965, Lyndon turned the Blk community from a strong patriarchal structure with self-reliant married parents, children, into a matriarchal structure with households lead by women with children, no man in the house, and dependent upon the system.
No matter what, you keep separating yourself by race, gender or whatever. Things will never change. We are Americans. No hyphens, no slashes, no commas. Americans.
Thank you. I have been trying to preach this for years. Once we start acting like AMERICANS then we can finally move forward and surpass all countries. The biggest advantage and disadvantage is how different we all are.

That's when the great switch happened, but it wasn't the parties who switched it was the American black who switched parties. Such a tragedy.
LBJ purchased the black vote for cheap. super cheap. also white liberals was able to get black people into aborting their babies keeping their population low. we all know whites even white liberal hates seeing more black people.
Incentivize fatherless homes. All went Dem when FDR implemented The New Deal. They had to in order to survive. Neither do squat for blacks but tell you how much they do every 4 years.

The Civil Rights Act was never for the "black" community. It was a revolving door to push marxist and communist acts. Civil Rights crushed the Moorish People and succumbed them under the displaced person/14th Amendment U.S Statutory nom de guerre of black/African American.

Not United Statians superimposing themselves as Americans.

Regarding the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the actual voting record for both Houses of Congress shows that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed the Senate on a 73-to-27 vote. The Democratic supermajority in the Senate split their vote 46 (69%) for and 21 (31%) against. The Republicans, on the other hand, split their vote 27 for (82%) and 6 against (18%). Thus, the no vote consisted of 78% Democrats.

Excellent point, PBD, you should learn this history! Democrats voted majority against 1964 bill. It needed the majority GOP vote to pass. As another commenter said, bring on Thomas Sowell while we still have him. He is a national treasure.
yes, but if you want to play that game, the Democrats were the party of small govt. at that time and had it's biggest support in the south at the time. Break the vote up by location, and northern and western states voted for the bill, which is a stronghold for democrats today. The party's beliefs in the 60s don't necessarily represent the beliefs of the modern-day parties, and not understanding that nuance leads to poor historical analysis.
153 democrats voted for it in the House, and 46 voted in the Senate. 91 democrats voted against it in the House, and 27 in the Senate. That is not the majority of Democrat.

I love how PBD allows the guests to fully elaborate on their thoughts. You can't get this on cable news.
On cable news they interrupt the targeted guest mid-sentence and ascribe to him some crazy narrative that they made up, and then keep interrupting him when he tries to explain that he never said such a thing. That is how they gaslight, and unfortunately people fall for it...shame on them. Viewers need to also be thinkers.
Boom. I was watching the Lemon - Musk interview. You can tell Lemon came from cable news. The amount of times he interrupted Musk was insane. I know time constraints but its honestly annoying. Jim Cramer also does this. He did this with Jensen Huang it was kinda annoying I can't lie.
I agree. PBD listens and lets people talk. That is a show of respect because you shouldn't hate an uninformed person, you should try to get them to let you educate them. He knows how to sell an idea and that is extelremely admirable.
He only allows his guests to speak when he agrees with them. If he's in disagreement with his guests, he interrupts or is very combative. I've watched several of his interviews.

While I understand your feelings, as Blk man, understand the majority of us do not look at you that way. Something is happening in the media that is creating this narrative, and it's not coming from a Blk consensus.
With that being said... how you feel, is how Blk men have felt for decades. Portrayed as lazy, shiftless, over-sexualized, brutish, angry, violent, aggressive, and deviant. To watch it being portrayed in various racial tropes over and over in Hollywood. *It doesn't feel good to called something because of the color of your skin, does it?*
You're not my enemy, and I'm not yours. We need to recognize who IS, band together, and do something about it. The system has been pitting us against each other since the Jamestown rebellion of 1676.
Hello sir. Im a black man in his 30s and I am a little curious. What were the conversations like surrounding the conditions of black ppl found themselves in. Did your parents have conversations with you about there feelings surrounding segregation. Do you have any stories about being around ur parents and seeing discriminate acts perpetrated against black folks either in person or maybe in the media. If so can u express the sentiments that were felt by your family in these moments? Ps I believe you have a good heart, I just know it would be a rare circumstance for anyone like my father who grew up in Alabama and is a little older than you to be present to see how the general public felt about issues that may not have directly impacted them.
Totally agree with Stephen “talk to me about your policies not about the other side”!!!
I agree but, there’s a superiority complex that comes with liberals. They just assume they’re always right. So you have to expose and discredit some of those talking points before you can think about policies. I’ve never gotten there.
Trust me, he is never pulling the lever for a Republican.

I honestly don't even care if a single black vote goes to Republicans or not. Republicans, Libertarians, heck, vote for the Greens for all I care. Better yet, vote for people on a case by case basis regardless of party (I agree with Washington who warned against parties and said they were a bad idea). The only thing that gets my goat is that a significant plurality of black Americans stjll vote Democrat with all of the knowledge at their fingertips and somehow genuinely believe the totally obvious bs line that they "care" about them. They don't have to vote for Republicans if they don't want to. Heck, I often don't like them all that much sometimes either. Just don't vote for the blatantly racist and increasingly communist mafia disguised as a political party...

I beg to differ SAS! If you know real history “The Civil Rights Movement” and/or “Integration” was devastating for the Black communities. Hence LBJ mentioned “Uppiditty”. The establishment didn’t like Blacks consolidating economic power (e.g. Black owned Banks, Black owned LLC’s, Black Wall Street).
Wonderful point that is never spoken. Common people uniting for benefit of each other is not something that is acceptable by those greedy for power. Racism and inequality will always exist in all its forms. Most common people love and respect their neighbors and members of their community. This doesn’t help keep the division and distraction that those in charge need to strip all our rights. We are all on people!!! Just my thoughts.
@SwaggerLikeUz
You’re wrong. Black & white folks in the South already lived around each other so it wasn’t about integration. The Civil Rights movement was about desegregation of the public sector.
Just look at the 1954 Brown vs Board decision. The plaintiffs in that case wanted their kids to go to the schools close to their home instead of being bused miles away.
@@werewolfoffroadequipment8553
Practically no one wants to live in crime riddled inner-city/urban communities. The actual “black communities” are down south in the country. City black folks, particularly northern and west coast city people, hijacked the Civil Rights Movement.
People forget that Black Wall Street was rebuilt after the 1921 race massacre. It was "destroyed" by Integration. And now the average BLK dollar stays in our communities for less than 7 hours. Before the ink dries, most of our paychecks disappear to other communities. The average Asian dollar stays in their communities for 21+ days.
Intergenerational welfare dependence destroys the motivation to improve lives, families and communities.
Yes, but everything is done to keep them there. If they try to better themselves, they are punished. Very frustrating for those who want out of that system

Democrats this day look at black people as people they can manipulate. Leading up to every election the democrats give the black population plenty of attention, Getting them emotionally charged over some racist event that is blown out of proportion. After the election they are ignored for the next 4 years. What black Americans don't realize is that they are quickly being replaced as millions of hispanics are flooding across the border and democrats are redirecting resources that once went to black Americans now being given to foreigners.
You can’t compare the Democratic Party of 60 years ago today.
You really can't, now they're socialists.
Yes, you absolutely can. They’ve always been smart politicians. Like LBJ being blatantly racist but pretending otherwise when he saw opportunity. Biden being clearly racist until he realized he had to hide it. Hilary and Obama voting for the Iraq war because it was popular, then pretending otherwise. Obama being anti gay marriage his whole career, until he saw the tide of public opinion turning. LBJ is very similar to modern day democrats.

My old pastor was in Salem during the marches. 10-12 black pastors asked him to come and share a “word” with him.he showed up and said “open up ur bibles” they all looked at him like he was crazy. He looked at the pastor who invited him to come and asked what is going on? He replied. “We need u to give us a word, like a sermon because we don’t know how to read and write.”
For the couple of years he would preach to the pastors in the area and they’d use his sermon. Nobody else knew this was going on until many years later. It’s a story I don’t think I’ll ever forget. Not bashing or praising anyone. Just find it fascinating, America was more united than the politicians want us to be. If there’s no division there’s no “helping” which means no votes.
black churches were weaponized by politicians to keep Black people in line by focusing on the “pie in the sky” salvation. As long as you expect your reward when you’re dead, you won’t demand more from the government while you’re alive. They are the politicians first like of defense.

@peartfaldo when white america takes accountability for how the past shaped the future. It's hard to assimilate when the neighborhoods are still affected by redlining and black wealth has been affected by the targeted dismanteling of things like the freedmans bank and black wall street etc which contributed to a lack of key institutions in the black community that would've been key for creating access to wealth for us
I agree though. I think we should definitely be one and be an american community. But it's going to take some uncomfortable conversations and actions on both ends for that to happen.

@@lauraalt7863 Do you ever get the feeling that it was actually the Democratic Party that left us? Everything I thought the Democratic Party stood for went out the window over the last 10 years.
Christ Christie or Nicki. This man is insane
Just shows how ignorant he is
For real. He’s crazy
Well, then I guess I’m crazy to because Nick Haley was the only Republican that was going to get my vote in 2024 😂
@@T69-x7b Vivek kept his real name and appears to be much more truthful than Nimarata.
MLK was the reason why the Civil Rights Act was signed!! The influence he had was astounding and if he were still alive, he would agree with Larry Elder, Thomas Sowell, Allen West, Clarence Thomas, and Candace Owens nowadays!!
😂 You're delusional AF if you believe that
MLK was a Marxist Socialist.
The Civil Rights Act was never for the "black" community. It was a revolving door to push marxist and communist acts.
Civil Rights crushed the Moorish People and succumbed them under the displaced person/14th Amendment U.S Statutory nom de guerre of black/African American.
How do you go from be the Moorish nobility who founded the nation through a consolidation of kingdoms, dominions and estates. To establishing and ordained the Constitution for the United States of America to being under control of the Federal government(Union States Society/U.S)
Black Americans are true blood Americans(Marikanos/Moroccans). Not United Statians superimposing themselves as Americans.
MLK would certainly not. 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Stop looking clout of martin Luther king
I'm not taking ANY political advice from Stephen A. However, we all should be voting our interest.
Steven A. Smith, a DEI joint.
He admitted that he benefited from affirmative action in the 80s
DEI is a Cowards New N-Word 🗑️
A gatekeeper plant
Every minority with a job is a DEI joint now. Got it.
Smith makes a good point. I think a large block of the Black community would respond to being told the truth about the part they played. Its better to look at person in the eye & say 'You got duped.' Than to treat them like they were to smart to have let it happened... BECAUSE IT DID. Brutal honesty is always the better route. If the truth doesn't hurt it doesn't help.
Nah. They won't see it. Too many black celeberties tell8ng them what to do.
That sounds great. But it's too toxic from what the media has done.
Not going to help unless you also present a superior, alternative vision for the future. It's not enough to just say what others are doing wrong.
@@Tyler_W Do you realize how many black millionaire business men & WOMEN there were in the early 20th century? Look it up.
It's not about 'the future' at all. Its about what has been proven TO WORK. Its not a temporal problem. Its functional issue.
Can you explain statistically and realistically how BP are duped? When looking at the stats from the early and mid 20th century of Black Americans, we were doing poorly across the board except for marriage. Our income, HS graduation rates, poverty, homeownership etc were abysmal! By every measure we’re doing better today.
Stephen A MYTH
You must be a jason whitlock acolyte
Or just likes the way it sounds@cliffharris1526 .
It is catchy.
I'm not convinced it's proof that he "must" be an acolyte.
I have to say, while Stephen A. tends to drive me crazy at times, i have nothing but the utmost respect for his willingness to listen to differing viewpoints that allow his views to evolve.
LBJ actually said, “For the next 200 years”, not 50 years
Whatever
60 soon to be 61
2164, that's as close as the US of A gets to year 400 in 2176.
As much as I enjoy PBD’s interviews, I can’t listed to Steven A Smith for more than 30 seconds. Good for having different views on the show, this one is not for me.
Stephen A view on politics is as worthwhile as his sports takes.
😬
This is a very intelligent conversation.
Looking forward to your Tulsi Gabbard interview in April.
Regarding the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the actual voting record for both Houses of Congress shows that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed the Senate on a 73-to-27 vote. The Democratic supermajority in the Senate split their vote 46 (69%) for and 21 (31%) against. The Republicans, on the other hand, split their vote 27 for (82%) and 6 against (18%). Thus, the no vote consisted of 78% Democrats.
But in the end Democrats voted for it.
Stop forgiving the people who want you in a cage
Centrist. We need more of them. Politics is too polarized right now.
Trump is much more center than typical conservatives.
He is much more moderate than today's liberals
I think S.A. Smith forgot the bill was majority Republican supported 3-1...regardless of the outcome...
You forgot to mention the dems who voted against switched to the republican party

David Duke of Louisiana, Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, switched to the Republican Party in 1988. He was elected as a Republican to the Louisiana House of Representatives.
Governor Rick Perry of Texas left the Democratic Party in 1989 and Governor Buddy Roemer of Louisiana did it two years later.
Senator Harry Byrd left the Democratic Party in 1970 to become an independent. Governors Lester Maddox and George Wallace left the Democratic Party to run as candidates of the American Independent Party.
One must give LBJ credit for being correct.
Excellent point, PBD, you should learn this history! Democrats voted majority against 1964 bill. It needed the majority GOP vote to pass. As another commenter said, bring on Thomas Sowell while we still have him. He is a national treasure.
yes, but if you want to play that game, the Democrats were the party of small govt. at that time and had it's biggest support in the south at the time. Break the vote up by location, and northern and western states voted for the bill, which is a stronghold for democrats today. The party's beliefs in the 60s don't necessarily represent the beliefs of the modern-day parties, and not understanding that nuance leads to poor historical analysis.
153 democrats voted for it in the House, and 46 voted in the Senate. 91 democrats voted against it in the House, and 27 in the Senate. That is not the majority of Democrat.
Most of the dixiecrats were in the south. THEY switched over to the GOP in the 70s.
1964 Dem/Reps are not the same as 2024 Dems/Reps. Stop with the bullshit comparisons, the parties switched platforms.
Stephen A is SOO CLOSE just switching to the right side! I have faith in you Mr Smith!
He’s right, you can’t trust both sides
But one side is far far worse
@cliffordfernandez3524 lol. Absolutely right. Usually, people who say that demonstrate the same voting behaviors as Stephen A. Smith.
@@cliffordfernandez3524True.. but the fact is we're all getting played. Dems and Republicans alike.
Rino's aren't Republican. But Democrats are all full Democrat
He is basically saying...It's okay to vote for TRUMP, this time!
Lol he didn't. He literally said he'd vote for Nikki Haley if she was the republican candidate and not trump. 😂😂
Yes, Please bring On Thomas Sowell
Don't he is biased
@@kboone122 he’s objective he actually lived through that time like my grandfather. And isn’t every guest bias to their beliefs.
Never heard of PBD but very informative program I enjoyed it.
Smith talks about political parties but doesn’t address what he and other prominent blacks do to educate the black community about these issues.
Why is it his job to educate other blacks on the issues? Because he’s black? He isn’t even a politician
@@efun8334 he learned some truth by researching and educating himself. Is it his job to educate others ? That’s a choice for him to answer, not me. He does have the platform not many others have. Or, he can stick to sports commentary rather than the subject of the podcast.
@@pjhimself252 😂 he has the right to talk politics without lecturing others on how to think or feel. If you don’t like his voice you don’t have to listen
