CB: Come to think of it, it can be argued that the Civil Rights
Movement debilitated the Democratic Party, given the success of the
Nixon/Reagan Southern Strategy in pinning the Dem Party as the party of
Black people with various degrees of white racists who shifted to the
Reps, and have caused the Reps to dominate for almost 30 years.

The discussion included the discussion of the fact that the "dramatic"

movements of the 20th century originated outside that party, and when 
"moving" into it, which certainly does not mean that the rank and file
of 
that movement participated in any way shape or form in the forming of 
program and policy of that party, the movement was debilitated.

CB: Lets test this claim with respect to the Civil Rights
Movement/anti-Jim Crow Movement of the 1950's and 60's.   Did the
Democratic Party debilitate the Civil Rights Movement or did the
Democratic President and Congress pass Civil Rights statutes and
Constitutional Amendments ?

How about the women's suffrage movement ?

How about the labor movement to legalize unions in the 1930's ?

How about the anti-Vietnam war peace movement ?
