You're pretty knowledgable about math. You already know where that is skewed too.
Let's say that out of 100, there are 20 members who oppose something. They only represent 20% of the whole. If 100% of those 20 members are democrats, it doesn't mean they represent 100% of democrats.
I've already shown it was a Southern political issue, not a Democratic political issue. You should have already realized this too since it was a Democratic president, a Democratic Judicial leader, a subsequent Democratic president, and a higher percentage of Northern Democrats than Northern Republicans in both House and Senate, pushing for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. I also showed you that 100% of Southern Republicans opposed the act.
If you can't acknowledge that it was a Northern vs Southern issue, then you're just refusing to accept the truths and instead prefer to take a subset of the data and use that data to form your inaccurate opinion based on partial evidence because it's what you want to believe and not what is accurate.
