Really none of your damned business but I happen to be old. Marches, street demonstrations calling for immediate changes in the law and so on are revolutionary whether you choose to call them peaceful or not.

Booker T. Washington’s approach of self-directed improvement would accomplish all of the goals with none of the tragic side effects we’ve witnessed all these years.

Yeah it’s a bad thing to want to constitution to be enforced. Tea party would not exist without peaceable assembly and organizing

Seriously?

How many boycotts have we staged?
And no, the Civil Rights movement doesn't care about the Constitution; they have nothing positive to say about it. The only part they ever invoke is the 3/5 clause. They merely use it to push their agenda.

I am not talking about today. I am talking about fifty years ago

OK. I foolishly thought you might drop it if I ignored you.

There's a reason I cite the character of the Civil Rights industry:

Fruit of the poison tree.
Fifty years ago, word was that MLK was red. We haven't been able to prove it either way because Democrats sealed his records. As Church Lady would say: how conveeeenient!
Nonetheless, the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree. As the Lord said, by their fruit you shall know them.

Last word on this:
I have chosen to not drink from the cultural Kool-aid. I don't hate you because you do and don't even resent that you think less of me because of my choice. But as a black man living in America, I can tell you that person has not yet been born who can tell ME how to think!!

Oddly enough I was not trying to tell you how to think, only giving you my perspective.

I agree the current (and true for too long) civil rights industry is nothing but a power seeking, money grubbing mess.

I suspect you and I agree on more than we disagree.

I go in peace

So you’re going to let what she has to say stand unanswered because you don’t like her act. OK. Good luck with that. I’d rather refute. Keep the liberactinaries grasping for straws.

Khizr Khan is a complete scumbag who attempted to cynically profit from the death of his own son. The fact that he is connected to both the Clinton global crime family and to laundering immigrants from hot-zone countries in various kinds of scams made no difference. It was a mistake to pick a fight with him, regardless of what the facts were.

Coretta Scott King is roughly 100 times as untouchable as Khizr Khan.

Anybody who's followed her career knows that she sold out to the race baiters and civil rights hustlers years ago; the LIV crowd doesn't. The fact that she's dead puts her opinions even further beyond question. It's better to pick your battles.

Sessions will suffer far less by leaving her silly letter alone.

“Sessions will suffer far less by leaving her silly letter alone.”

I agree that Sessions should keep well out of such nonsense. And Trump with his Tweeting can only accomplish so much and then it starts degrading him. That’s why we have and are part of the movement. Such attacks will keep coming, and we can’t allow them to go unanswered.

The snowflakes start accumulating on the ground if you don’t spread rock salt over them on a regular basis. MAGA hat-wearers and Freepers are the ones to answer this crap, and keep the snow from accumulating and obstructing the machinery necessary to build walls, drain swamps, and all that that entails. That’s what Newt meant when he said that Trump can’t do everything on his own, and he needs a movement.

I’d also say that we need original sources on the Perry County case. I wonder if the author of that article has trial transcripts?
