Another interesting parallel with the Scottsboro Boys is that radical leftists opportunistically sought to use that case to advance their own political goals, just as is happening here.
As the black "activist" was doing her political stunt in Joe Cheshire's face, I flashed back to the Scottsboro Boys and saw a "white activist" mouthing her words -- probably matching fairly closely to what "activists" would have said in the Scottsboro Boys' Trial -- words that a black woman is shrieking today.
The woman today has no idea that she probably sounds just like a white activist during that trial in the 30s.
Bigotry and racial prejudice is always ugly. And rude. And demanding to be "listened to". It is not reasonable. It is not civil, it cares not at all to "reason". It is driven by a blind hatred, a self-loathing so deep that it projects, like a vomitus.
I'm glad the black activist spoke. I'm glad that even she can appreciate the freedoms she has in the country.
Freedom is pretty cool, and the cost for such freedoms is constant vigilance and diligence.
