Lincoln was a Republican, Woodrow Wilson a Democrat, the sole Justice opposing Plessy vs. Ferguson was a Republican, it was Republicans who had the votes to carry the Civil Rights Act, and appoint Thurgood Marshall (not necessarily a good thing). The only present SC Justice (and one of the most conservative) was nominated by a Republican President. The only KKK member in the Congress is a Democrat. Democrat political and social policies (welfare and abortion) since the 1960's have harmed black families and killed a disproportionate number of black babies, and AA is fundamentally racist.
Those are historical facts. I gave the obvious disclaimer that there were exceptions, but it seems that your passions lie in other areas, so that you adjusted the focus of what I said to "contradict" what I was saying, even though what I was saying is historically accurate.
I don't know you, but I would guess from your posts that you are not a Republican so don't want to give Republicans credit, and that you are a southerner still angry about the Civil War. And/or that you are just being contrary for its own sake.
Nice discussion, lentul. I learned quite a bit from your comments here, some good, some not so very much....

Is that why you continued it?

You analyzing me now? Fresh.
Why are they "passions", by the way? That your liberalish way of sneaking up on saying I'm mad as a hatter -- "a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty", to borrow the old Clintonian version -- and don't make sense?
Why can't I have "interests" or "perspectives" or even, persish the thought, a "point"? A point that is not reconcilable with your own worldview? A point that you haven't accounted for in your paradigm, and can't?
Ciao. Have a good one.
My goodness, isn’t this a blast from the past. Things not so lively over at the WAmbulance, or what? Is Howlin coming back, too? Let me get my earplugs, lol.
