A look at race relations before obama destroyed them....

[bodecea]

This column on Paramount destroying itself with their stupid, left wing Woke agenda, shows how race relations were before obama got into office and set out to destroy all of our progress....

Instead of calling it DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion), they should be honest and call it DIE.

DEI isn’t about hiring more racial minorities, something no one disagrees with. Certainly not me. I grew up in the glorious eighties when the world’s biggest movie star was black (Eddie Murphy), the two biggest TV stars were black (Oprah Winfrey, Bill Cosby), our sports heroes were black (Mike Tyson, Bo Jackson), our favorite comedians were black (Murphy again and Richard Pryor), and all of our sisters had posters of Prince and a still-black Michael Jackson on their bedroom walls. Oh, and one of our favorite action heroes was a woman named Sigourney Weaver.

So, no, DEI is not about that.

DEI is all about the propaganda of hectoring, lecturing, shaming, and creating anti-entertainment with divisive, heavy-handed messaging aimed at “correcting the past.”

It’s not racial minorities in starring roles anyone objects to, not in a country that has embraced Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman. No, it’s the in-your-face, spellbreaking virtue-signaling. Honestly, when Paramount has Planet Stacy Abrams emerge in Star Trek Discovery as President of United Earth, that’s your DEI right there — violate the storytelling spell for a virtue-signaling political announcement.

Idiots.

I am curious what Paramount stockholders think about this. The CEO of a multinational company is refusing to correct his suicide run even as his streaming service lost nearly half a billion dollars in a single financial quarter.

What a funny post from one of those who freaked out when America elected (twice) a black man.

Sorry Snoopy, I haven't been in diapers since Eisenhower was President. Nice try though.
And no, race relations were not any better in the 80's and 90's. The nastiness was kept under the covers better.

/——/ I agree democRATs kept their nastiness under wraps back then. I grew up in the South and never heard so much racism until I moved to liberal New York.

Of course you didn't. I am sure it was institutionalized where you grew up. You probably didn't even notice it. It was a norm.
And those southern Democrats you grew up with...would have been Republicans when they flipped after the Civil Rights acts were passed in the mid 60's.

THE BIG SWITCH THAT WASN’T: THE DIXIECRATS, RACE AND 1964 - American 1

It’s known as “The Big Switch.” That’s when Southern Democrat politicians converted to Republicanism and refashioned the G.O.P. into a racist political party. The only problem? It’s not true. But first a little history. The general narrative of this “switch” is capsulized in a 2017 History.com...

Secondly, the Dixiecrats did NOT convert to Republicanism in 1964 (after Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act) as many historians and journalists now suggest. In fact, most of these racist libertarians returned to the Democratic Party after 1948 and became a significant voting block against civil rights and desegregation throughout the 1950s and early 1960s. According to one historical analysis, of the 1500+ racist “Dixiecrats” only Strom Thurmond and about a dozen others left the Democratic Party for the GOP (less than 1%). Furthermore, Thurmond didn’t switch parties until 16 years after Truman forced him to create his “Dixiecrat” party.
Democrats. Harry Truman was allegedly an inactive participant in the Missouri KKK, and biographers often noted his latent racism against blacks, Jews, Chinese and Japanese throughout his life.[3] Meanwhile Franklin D. Roosevelt nominated a KKK member to the Supreme Court (Hugo Black), put Japanese-Americans into detention camps and refused to welcome black Olympians—including the famed Jesse Owens—to the White House.[4]

/----/ I agreed with your article up until this point. By the 1980s, white southern Democrats had become Republicans, and the majority of the south was now Republican. The Republican Party now is solidly conservative while the Democratic Party is the liberal one.
It just states an opinion, not historical fact. I grew up in the segregated South and it was the democRATs who never changed parties. They just died off and the younger generation (like ME) joined the GOP. We couldn't take the hatred the democRATs spread about Blacks, Jews, and Catholics (Me again)

Gore sought to take the teeth out of the Act in the event it passed.

Oh Lord, just own it. These are historians studying these issues. Not alt-right journalists and pundits.
Sorry, you don't get to manufacture a narrative after the history has already been recorded.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The narrative owns Cellblock's nutty argumentation.

The segregationists migrated into the GOP.

The HS history and civics teachers use such nutty arguments as to why the GOP segregationists are trying to escape the past by revising, laughingly pointing out all their errors.

No, not a black man.....a malignent narcissist socialist, who hates this country...his skin color had nothing to do with it....

No, the segregationists stayed in the democrat party....

The lie about dixie crats changing parties...

What happened to all those racist Dixiecrats that, according to the progressive narrative, all picked up their tents and moved from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party? Actually, they exist only in the progressive imagination.

This is the world not as it is but as progressives wish it to be. Of all the Dixiecrats who broke away from the Democratic Party in 1948, of all the bigots and segregationists who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, I count just two—one in the Senate and one in the House—who switched from Democrat to Republican.

In the Senate, that solitary figure was Strom Thurmond. In the House, Albert Watson. The constellation of racist Dixiecrats includes Senators William Murray, Thomas P. Gore, Spessard Holland, Sam Ervin, Russell Long, Robert Byrd, Richard Russell, Olin Johnston, Lister Hill, John C. Stennis, John Sparkman, John McClellan, James Eastland, Herman Talmadge, Herbert Walters, Harry F. Byrd, George Smathers, Everett Jordan, Allen Ellender, A. Willis Robertson, Al Gore Sr., William Fulbright, Herbert Walters, W. Kerr Scott, and Marion Price Daniels.

The list of Dixiecrat governors includes William H. Murray, Frank Dixon, Fielding Wright, and Benjamin Laney. I don’t have space to include the list of Dixiecrat congressmen and other officials. Suffice to say it is a long list. And from this entire list we count only two defections.

Thus the progressive conventional wisdom that the racist Dixiecrats became Republicans is exposed as a big lie.

The Dixiecrats remained in the Democratic Party for years, in some cases decades. Not once did the Democrats repudiate them or attempt to push them out.


Segregationists like Richard Russell and William Fulbright were lionized in their party throughout their lifetimes, as of course was Robert Byrd, who died in 2010 and was eulogized by leading Democrats and the progressive media.

The democrat party is the party trying to separate us today, the same way they did it during and after the Republicans forced them to give up black people as their slaves.

And do not forget that barak obama is a racist....and anti-semite.......and he is the current head of the democrat party.

You don't host the Grand Wizard of the black ku klux klan, louis farakhan, at a Congressional black caucus event to honor him...and not be a piece of racist and anti-semitic garbage...

Hidden photo of Obama and Farrakhan released in new book

It was during a mid-2005 Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) meeting on Capitol Hill when award-winning journalist Askia Muhammad captured one of the most significant photos of his career.

You have it right, and Cellblock is wrong as usual. 1/4th of America went crazy when a black man was elected President, then Trump became the most divisive President since 1960. Our national recovery warped by those two facts.
