Someone should ask him if the Democratic Party should apologize for their racist heritage.
Racist heritage true.....gladly picked up and run with by today's GOP.
False narrative then and still a false narrative now.
 
Dude, knew exactly how evil the Democratic Party was and he joined them.
After the Civil Rights Act...you know...that law that LBJ signed so all the racists in the South left the Democrats and the GOP welcomed them with open arms.
First of all they only needed that act because of Democrats. Secondly, Democrats has been fighting the passage of that law since the 50ā€™s.

And you are celebrating it as an accomplishment? Brilliant.
 
Hate to say this but it is true. This nation will be better off without him. The sooner his kind pass on the better
Now there's a classic CRC trumpanzee reply.
He is a hate filled despicable person imo so no tears shed.
Retire, enjoy the life you have left and your family.
Pretty simple. His days as a race hustler are over.

CRC trumpanzees don't know what facts are. I get you have a negative opinion of a CIvil Rights giant, but you do not have the right to make up facts to cover for your hatred of the Civil Rights Movement.
 
I spent 3 decades taking cancer patients for rides to the ER, it's jmho... #1 most dehumanizing disease ,just s*cks to see folks wither ,waste away, always with this glimmer of hope

the icing on the cake was tellin' mom 'it's alright to go', her last night on this rock

so i have to ask here, how many of you have witnessed 'life' draining outta eyes?

It'll change you

further, i'm sure my dear departed mother would (yet again) impose an the oral soap cleansing technique were she incarnate ,should she see me post that you PARTISAN FUCKERS are the lowest of the low for wishing it on anyone

He won't be missed by anyone but his family and closest friends. He is not the historical figure you make him out to be. He's a dick, nothing more.

John Lewis s no civil right icon, he's just one of the manuplitive racial assholes in congress that victimizes his own race for personal gain. I hope the asshole croaks.

I knew it wouldn't take long for a racist POS to come out of the wood work.
Heā€™s rightLewis was a race pimp, he got paid to keep blacks down
