It's true Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act, but their arms were being severely twisted by President Johnson. The Republican Party since Reagan's day has not been in the forefront of any equality movement. I don't think the explanation is as much prejudice as it is indifference. Today's R's main concern is the welfare of the hyper rich.
