Selma is more significant than the Boston Tea Party that the right is always talking about

LOL......that's just a wee bit over the top. ......

Not in the least

The Boston Tea Party protested a tax on tea that the colonists were unable to vote for

Selma was a protest against total disenfranchisement. Not just at the voting booth but in society as well

Southern blacks had is worse than American colonialists

The point is Conservatives see 'freedom' as purely economic freedom. Social freedom is up for grabs. If you're African American and seeking a job, fiscal Conservatives should have no problem. But social Conservatives stand by their sense of self righteousness and reserve their 'right' to deny both rights and history.

Incidentally, I visited Selma twenty years ago this week. It was Bridge Day 1995. It was festive, beautiful and entirely new to me. The parade had the best choreographed and musical high school bands in the Deep South. As a White guy, I was in a distinct minority. Me, the TV crew from Montgomery and two volunteers from the ACLU were the only European Americans in town.

The rest of the White folks were in Wal Mart that Saturday.

Thank GOD for Selma, or B.Hussein would NEVER have been produced...Pay attention from the 2:10 mark on! Too bad he was BORN 4 years BEFORE Selma!!!

It must be hard to go through life when you take everything literally

He said it, you refuse to accept it!

Must be difficult going through life taking everything literally. People look at you like you are a fucking moron and laugh behind your back

Obama was referring to all blacks owing a debt of gratitude to Selma. He was not claiming to be born in Selma

No...he wasn't, he was flat out lying at the 2:10 mark... You expect people to SUSPEND REALITY when we have video and audio of the POSER saying he was born because of Selma!

Yo, I see the "Socialist Progressive Democrats" are celebrating what the Democrats did 50 years ago? Beat the HELL out of Blacks!!! Congressman John Lewis remembers "Bloody Sunday" and the KKK Democrats, like it was yesterday!!! Yes, Lyndon Baines Johnson in 1963 said this: "These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference... I'll have them ******* voting Democratic for the next two hundred years". Then a few years later, they got too uppity? Governor George Wallace, another Democrat, said he would not protect those Blacks! So there you have it!

It was conservatives who delivered the beatings

Most of the marchers were Democrats

Yo, why do you think they were marching dip-S? To vote and no party affiliation?

"GTP"

"OBAMA HATES AMERICA"

They were marching for freedom and liberty

Something conservatives only give lip service to

Yo, something the Democrats know nothing about!

"GTP"

"OBAMA HATES AMERICA"

This thread was a great idea. Let the sour grapes wallow in their bitterness. My parents were there in 1965. If they were both here today the would be awed by the coverage.

 

[Mr. H.]

I wish I could have gone, but I've taken a vow never to go within 60 miles of Obama.
Well, unless I'm lobbying Congress.

Once again, everyone in the room is laughing behind your back

You are the person who has to have jokes explained to him and you still don't get it.

I absolutely am, and I also appreciate EVERY person who had the courage to be there during the worst of times.
