You can run > from that if you wish. The problem originates with the minorities. In 1960 JFK promised that if elected he would get a civil rights bill. It was an empty promise. Kennedy knew he couldn't deliver, so he wasted no effort on it. After Kennedy's death LBJ decided a civil rights bill would be a nice legacy for Kennedy. Johnson tried and failed miserably to deliver. Senator Everett M. Dirksen, R. IL. wrote the 1964 Civil Rights bill, and with the help of Rep. Bob Michael R. IL got it passed. The NAACP wrote a nice "thank you" note. Then they returned to their real job of delivering black voters to the Democrats. That was the birth of the Nixon "southern strategy". rw[ Auf dieses Posting antworten ]
