Rush is right about the modern day civil rights movement.

Back in 1978, we had to study Black History for a whole month, and write a report at the end. (The teacher was black.)

I pushed back for two weeks until the teacher told my mom I would fail 7th grade English if I refused. Mom said I had to do it.

So, I found the whitest black guy I could find...he was half-black. He qas a Catholic priest, after he was freed as a slave. He started several missions in South America. I made sure it was as extension and informative as 1973 libraries allowed.

Since he was half-black, the teacher made me write a second report.

So, I did a report on his twin brother who joined him in starting the missions.

Being forced to do that, did not make me appreciate black contributions. It made me push back on anything libtard. I don’t think that is what the teacher had intended.

RE: Rush is right about the modern day civil rights movement

Obama and his offense at his mother's fixation with "child-like blacks" in a movie reminded me..

"child-like blacks"?

That's exactly how I remember my FDR Democrat (liberal) friends viewed black Americans as the civil rights movement began in the 1950s.

We whites had to be very careful, accommodating, and understanding as we guide black Americans through this long-overdue change.

Meanwhile we were already in an integrated state with blacks holding jobs and attending school along with whites. However I was aware that segregation existed elsewhere.

Rush just said the civil rights movement "in the recent past" has tried to force us to believe life is horrible for blacks in America..

how many times to we have to post a comment by Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) about the the race-grievance industry existing back 100 or more years ago?
