To equate this with common sense legislation is so misguided it is like a ship without a rudder. This has NOTHING to do with HB2 in NC. This is a bigot and biased individual against a genetic trait (black skin versus white skin) not "I am what I think I am at the time". This is a non-nonsensical comparison and is so far fetched is is like believing the earth is flat! By the way, he was a Democrat! The Democrats blocked the civil rights legislation of 1965 (do your homework and cut the "ignorant talking points crap!). The Republicans passed the 1965 law in spite of the Democrats! By the way, it was a Republican who published the Emancipation Proclamation; I thought you might like to know and acknowledge that.
You ever heard of the difference between Southern and Northern Democrats back in the day? Southern Democrats were the ones that attempted to block civil rights legislation. Northern Democrats were all for it. You're also talking about the civil rights legislation championed by LBJ, noted Democrat? While we're talking about that, do you also realize that both major parties have changed a little since the 1860s and 1960s? Have you done any homework?
