Does this dead horse's beating ever end? Those idiots fail to realize, "That was then-This is now." NSNR
How ugly I yet find it that schools are using "racial" numbers to create, establish a "racial" mix -- which requires some children to travel long distances to a school -- just so a "racial" mix is established.
Martin Luther King, Jr. fought that type of thinking.

He also would have fought against Affirmative Action!!
Does this dead horse's beating ever end?
Not as long as there is a liberal alive.
Yes, he would have. Unfortunately, the revisionists, the modern day Elmer Gantry's would have us all believe otherwise.
Wow that's amazing a church that would turn away black people?? I don't see how people could say this country hasn't made any progress.
Well it's the only way they know how to make some money. Otherwise, they'd be on welfare.
I agree with gulfcoast6, about the MS threads. I was telling my nephew just a couple of months ago, there is so little I really know about my own home state, about the goings on of my adolescent years, and it's been mainly through posts like this that I feel a tad more comfortable nowadays. Pshaw.
But a question comes to mind: Is there a possibility the Born of Conviction statement is available for posting? That, to me anyway, would be a truly interesting document, I would think, as I was raised in the Methodist doctrine.
When dead horses lie, a liberal starves for lack of money.

So very true!!
Yellow dog democrats eh? Up here in NY, the most racist people you'll meet are democrats.
The biggest problem is there are too
many people who think Ms is still like
it was 50 years ago.
I remember when I was about 8 or 10
Daddy had a black man helping him around
the house. When lunch time came the black
guy ate on the back porch. I remember asking
momma why he couldn't sit at the table with us.
I don't even remember what she said but that was my first experience with race in Ms.
Yellow dog democrats eh?
If there was a Republican and an old yeller dog
on the ticket they would vote for the OYD.
The sad thing is, there ARE parts of MS where life is the same as it was 50 years ago. The same can be said of any of the Southern States, as well; however, seeing how MS suffered more atrocities which made the NYT and WaPo in print, first impressions are hard if not impossible to change. I would hope for the future of MS and the rest of the Southern States that when the last of that generation die off, and maybe the next generation as well, that the attitudes will improve, but I doubt it.
As my Mom told me one time, a loooong time ago, everybody is 'from' somewhere. Be proud of who you are, and never forget your roots. I'm from the Delta in MS, and I'm damned proud of MY roots.
I believe there were two white men at Evers's funeral; one was Bishop Joseph Brunini of the Diocese of Mississippi, the other was Rev. Bernard Law, a priest in the Diocese, who was also the Editor of the diocesan newspaper, which had been, at great risk to those involved, and with the full knowledge and permission of the Bishop very vocal in support of civil rights.
