Amen to that. He fights the good fight, and stands alone if need be. That’s what people of character do.

We can best believe that every other racial/ethnic group sees things in tribal terms, whites are the only ones indoctrinated to not do so, to our detriment, if not our self-inflicted suicide.

You may not want to see race, but you can bet your last dollar that other racial/ethnic groups do, and act in the best interests of their “tribe. Whites are the only ones have been indoctrinated that it’s racist to do so. The others see our weakness and drive an 18-wheeler right through it.

As is the rules and laws that came from it. Sorry if I don’t like paying for everyone else and that now my kids suffer because we are paying for history. All of these “victims” need to get the hell over it especially since they didn’t suffer from any of it. They need to stop blaming what happened hundreds of years ago for their current position and lack of success. They’re not succeeding for a reason and it ain’t because the United States had slaves hundreds of years ago.

The victim mentality is alive and well and it’s killing this country.

Don't disagree with any of that. The worst of all the current problems was brought on by LBJs Great Society where he MADE ferals by funding them.

Still should not have told people they were relegated to the back of the bus.

What is it with you people who think it’s ok to start a sentence with a curse? Do you think I’m going to read further than that word? Do you eat with that mouth?

There were three sections. The one she was in was the section where a black person could sit but had to get up if a white person wanted the seat.

These idiots here who unlike you and I live in fairly homogenous white areas which are often purple electoral districts at best do not understand what is going on around them because they are unexposed and ignorant

In your state and mine WE GAVE BLACKS THEIR POWER freely and not at the point of a gun

These dumbasses need to come down here at see how it’s going

And now many relish seeing the USA become a minority white nation

Western civilization is a totally white construct and totally Christian albeit from a Hebrew genesis

Folks need to decide if they want to save it or not worldwide where it exists

Or if they prefer a return to pagan or Satanic led dark ages

Unlike the turd on the forum you’re ok

My beef is with Parks real agenda and especially her commie Frank Davis clone husband as a hero

All the blacks considered heroes by the media and the left and soft GOP were fakirs

Reagan WFB and Goldwater and Helms etc knew this but were shouted down

Now some freepers think its ok anyhow

Ends justifies means

It always does with black problems being solved by white paternalism

And the result is always the same

More failure than success

The black race in America has always been problematic since 1865 when then the GOP occupied the pander perch the Dems do now

Whites who lived amidst all of it feared them gaining too much power

I grew up in a level of segregation

Marriage

Schools

Dating

Some cafes and bathrooms were still segregated but that was disappearing

My family was hardline on moms side and moderate on my dads side who were rich

Now 50 years later I can tell you that baring Ben Carson and other notables that we are all far far worse off

Everything segregationists feared is happening

Schools gone to the dogs

Illegitimacy in blacks from 20 percent then to 80% now

Whites same thing from 1% to 20-25%

Cities in black areas war zones

Black run govts total corruption like the Congo

I could go on and on but all that from ending segregation

Rich whites live in an illusion of safety near minority areas

It’s failure by any measure and for freepers to bolster arguments or take the moral superiority position based on well intended but abysmal failure is intellectually dishonest and weak minded

Bust the narrative and be called racist

It’s been that way here forever

Over amnesty it was once a big race baiting fight here and it could get dicey with the harpies

This wil not be settled with ballots

It’s not strictly race based but it is at the same time to a large degree

Whites and a few like minded versus the rest of the world

Minority victimhood is a worldwide disease and it started at those lunch counters and back of buses and other “historic” sites

Mostly true. But I blame welfare as increased to reduculous levels brought about by LBJ and the Great Society. To quote LBJ

ll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years........... Lyndon Baines Johnson about the Great Society plan.

It IS "racist to do so." Allowing racism against whites is Affirmative Action, and it violates equality under the Constitution, and has engendered the flames of racism in this country. The Bakke case was one of the worst, most destructive rulings by the Supreme Court in history.

The principles of the Constitution are the principles of civilization itself. They are as non-negotiable as gravity.

I have a good friend in Washington state. Her teenaged son’s friend (white) was nearly gutted earlier this week by a gang of black men who demanded his wallet. They got the wallet, but one of them decided to use his knife anyway.

The boy is still in intensive care. They had to remove some intestine.

Were our ancestors’ concerns wrong?

I would say no.

"I’m wondering if you support the legislated segregation of bus seating, separate drinking fountains, separate bathrooms, etc. enough to try to bring them back again?"

Seriously?

Rosa Parks was indeed a black icon and set off a movement that eventually rid our country of a disgusting way of life.............

And replaced it with another disgusting way of life.

The easy shout down of your usual race baiter incapable of rational thought much less honest discourse

the Communists were outspoken opponents of Jim Crow laws--not that they gave a hoot about civil rights, but rather, as a means to win blacks over to their cause.

As always, the issue is never the issue.

The issue is ALWAYS The Revolution.

The commies used the blacks, and turned them into slaves.
