hints:
segregation continues and it's mostly outside the South now unchanged from always and but it's more often voluntary...when i lived in Manhattan, blacks and latinos were quite segregated.
race riots?, well who do you think are the ones rioting....it ain't the melanin challenged.
lynchings were of whites too and gosh believe it or not did not always involve the killing of innocents nor was it always a political tool
Huckabee whom I usually like on cultural issues outside of his love of a guest worker program was DEAD WRONG about that blacks could not go in some neighborhoods (I only ever saw that up north in Howard Beach and Bensonhurst). Yes Virginia, we had separate eating, bathrooms, water fountains, schools (they were much better then btw regardless), buses, movie balconies, etc and blacks were often limited in voting by all sorts of chicanery but I never saw them prohibited from entering a neighborhood. That is preposterous. That is where they worked and whites depended on them.
Huckabee like many here got a bit carried away being so sensitive about race and oppression.
and don't get me started on the insane notion that blacks in America during Jim Crow were anything like the Insane Muzzie Posse the Israelis have to deal with. Blacks back in those days were much much more amenable, gracious and affectionate to non blacks than today and not hardly hostile to whites at all (except Skip gates mom)...there is no comparison to Palis who bomb toddlers birthday parties.
I believe in frank truthful observation. Constructing political paradigms from empirical observation of what is actually happening or has happened was a cornerstone of conservatism once.
Political correctness over race has usurped that and Huckabee has drank the snake oil.
Respectfully...my brain is not addled. My IQ is still higher than fearless leader's before last open heart...slipped a bit since though
Very true...and colorful, as usual.
Good post, wardaddy!

That’s easy for you to say because you aren’t black and have never experienced the real hatred blacks have received from some quarters, for many decades. A spirit of reconciliation with PEOPLE is a beautiful thing, as long as evil is not condoned.
Huckabee would be a vastly superior president compared to Obama. He has gone on record as saying he was not in favor of any bailouts, whether GWB pushed them or Obama did. When he was governor he met budgets, that’s something that Obama has never had to worry about in his life. Huckabee wouldn’t have reversed the Mexico City policy like Obama has, forcing Americans to pay for abortions here and in other countries. Huckabee is articulate and witty; each primary debate he got off the best lines and had the best audience response. He even stayed in the game longer than Romney. If Romney couldn’t even beat Huckabee he’d have no chance against Obama. Romney excites no one but Mormons.
