We are seeing the beginnings of a major backlash against this in this country, and against the liberal agenda and the MSM.
Many times it's: "they" didn't put it in your locker, you did
ahhhhhh! It is a sick mindset.
This must be an error.
There are no bigots in Yankeeland.
So this lady is a racial huckster? A real hate-whitey type of person? What is she doing as Sec. of State in NJ?
I think it's mostly because people aren't talking about their racist beliefs. 20, 30, 40 years ago, people would make nasty comments around other white people or tell a racist joke. We could see for ourselves (I'm basing this upon what others have said, as I am only 35 YO)who the really hateful people were because it was more acceptable.
I cannot remember the last time someone I know has said something racist. Therefore, I tend to assume that no one I know is racist.
Notre Dame vs. The Klan
How the Fighting Irish Defeated the Ku Klux Klan
by Todd Tucker '90 (Loyola Press)
During two days of riots in May 1924, Notre Dame students took on the Indiana Ku Klux Klan. The KKK wasn't reacting to the students' race but to their religion -- Catholicism. "Look around: they are already taking over the schools, flaunting our laws, changing the very nature of the United States, a Protestant country at its birth," a KKK leader asserted at a state rally in the early 1920s.
Here the author details how and why the two institutions came to loggerheads at the height of anti-Catholicism in America. The book continues through the aftermath of the three-day confrontation in downtown South Bend, including the football team's winning Rose Bowl appearance and the Indiana KKK's eventual implosion.
thanks...that was very interesting....
She's a McGreevey appointee in an state owned by the Democratic Party, and is therefore totally insulated from any possible political consequence to anything she says or does.
How many Catholics did the Klan lynch?
The state of Indian was controlled politically by the Klu Klux Klan for most of the 1920s.
To be honest with you...I don't know how many or even if they did...I will do some more looking to see what I can find out about that.

Please don't. I think we can all agree that even if those strong men of the KKK hated Catholics and Jews they held a far stronger, more aggressive. more passionate and more deadly hatred for blacks. A Catholic might not get invited to the picnic or a Jew to the dance but I doubt they had much to fear bodily, certainly not anything along the lines of the atrocities committed against blacks (of which there is substantial photographic evidence).
I know white racist and black racist.The only difference is the whites are shunned and called racist while the blacks are called civil rights leaders or the head of Afrocentric studies.
A. 2 events set stage:
1. returning white WWI soldiers compete with blacks for jobs
a.Blacks enter northern cities during war to replace whites in industry
2.massive immigration (10 million +) from eastern Europe 1900-1924
B.Not restricted to south, but spreads to northern cities like Chicago
C.Violent tactics: tar and feather lynching, use of acid to brand KKK into foreheads
D. Targets: blacks, Jews, Catholics, Mexicans; also white Christian women sympathizers
E.Lynching 1882-1927: over 3500 blacks and 1400 whites
While we all know that blacks were lynched during this time period..they also lynched white people...although it doesn't go into description on what religion they were or whether it was because they were foreigners..the fact remains that the Klan didn't just lynch blacks.
In the future there will be no war - but there will be ROLLERBALL!
GOOD for them! :)
They're well-learning not to take crap from any animal that comes along just because it wants to be heard and thinks it has a 'right' to have to be heard.
My sister and her girlfriend were coming back from Windsor, just south of Detroit to Utica, just north of Detroit, and stopped in Detroit to get some gas. They were robbed of their purses by some friendly Detroiters. The cops scolded them because they should not of been in the area.
