Everyone knows the Southern Racist were Democrats. If you wanted to be in politics in the South, you were a democrat. All that changed starting in 1964 when the coalition of Northern Democrats and Northern Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. So that's where we were. Where are we now?
Obama's Resurrected 1960's.
Yeah right, cause race was never a problem or divisive issue until one of them() became president huh?
Many issues had been resolved by the time Obama took office. He ripped open the wounds again, for political purposes.
I grew up in the 60s. These times are an orchestrated reversion to the sentiments of that time, save the fact that the anger is greatly magnified by media.
Many of the same troublemakers of that time, and their political heirs, are conducting things now.
I will agree that the election of a black man as President enraged and emboldened those who opposed him for nothing more than the color of his skin, long before he ever took office. That enraged segment was co-opted for political purposes.
I can see protesting against the draft and the war in Vietnam. I can't see protesting over a statue.
The election of a black man had nothing to do with it, since it was the white man that put him into office. It's a nonsenscal argument. Had he been white he'd have never been the Democrat candidate.
His political intent was from the git-go to stir up chaos and disrupt American society, and that he did.
What is occurring today rests on his shoulders, and those of his party. Pray it doesn't escalate to its potential, because frankly you people don't have the numbers, much less a belief in anything worth fighting for.
"You people" huh?
Something tells me this will be hilarious but --- who exactly is "you people"?
