Cos for President!


"People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education, and now we've got these knuckleheads throwing that all away."


You know, this is a really good point.

The really scary thing is blacks as a community were doing so much better morally and everything else before the '60s. Better educated (in reality) and better behaved, better morals.

It's ironic things have worsened since the '60s. The civil rights thing was good, but the welfare thing came at the same time. Without the welfare, blacks would probably be doing BETTER now than they were in the '40s, instead of worse.

Civil rights raised people (all people, not just minorities) up.

The welfare state has taken them down to the lowest level. It has hurt blacks the worst, but has destroyed other Americans as well.

LBJ's Great Society was the rats' response to the civil rights movement. By their standards, it was an overwhelming success. They de-facto nullified the civil rights movement and destroyed the integration of black community all the while creating a 90% voting bloc that votes for the rats regardless of what they do or say.

I hope one day this will go down in history for the evil that it is.

Where and in what way? Where I live they are doing much better economically than they were back then, I am not so sure about in other ways.
