“What do you suppose was their motivation for going down to Mississippi to stir up trouble?”

To stir up trouble for political purposes.

“Muslim” is not a race.

To stir up trouble for political purposes.

By "political purposes", do you refer to some means of gaining political power, such as in Washington DC?

So people from the NorthEast, deliberately travel to the South to stir up racial troubles because it somehow translates into power in Washington?

I'm not trying to be funny or anything, I have pinged several people whom I wish to make aware of this idea. I have been trying to make them aware of this idea for quite some time, and I regard your statements as relevant to the point I have been trying to get them to see.

Oh god yeah, tons of northern agitators went down south to stir up trouble ...where their was none..,from the vestigial Jim Crow laws. It all was withering away. “Freedom” buses. Lots of mayhem.

>> I was living in Mississippi in ‘63-’64, in the belly of the beast so to speak. Height of the civil rights turmoil. Race relations were a beautiful thing to behold. I vouchsafe in saying far better than in the north. But then came the filthy, rotten, northern trouble makers from New York, New Jersey, Massachussetts etc. and everything went to hell. Same scenario played out in other southern states.

> What do you suppose was their motivation for going down to Mississippi to stir up trouble? Couldn't they have worked on "Racism" problems in the very safe Democrat districts from which they came?

Selective memory + Faulty public schools?

Wow dude, if only you’d apply this logic to your Civil War arguments.

Your statement is incomprehensible to me. If you have a point to it, you will have to make it clearer.

Dude, if I have to explain what irony is to you, you’re lost. Go back and read all the nonsense you post about ‘’evil Yankee bankers profiting from the slave trade’’ and ‘Lincoln being a tyrant’’ and Washignton DC the nest of vipers and warmongerer’s against the noble South and all that other delusional bs you Lost causer go on about. And now all of a sudden you’re trying to call someone out in saying Northerners when into the South in the civil rights era just to cause trouble.

I'm asking why they were there. Why does someone travel from Massachusetts, New York and such to Mississippi? Weren't there enough problems in Baltimore, Detroit, or Washington?

Is there a political power angle to this? I'm suspecting there was. Look up "Free Soil Party", and be amazed that it was headquartered in New York instead of Chicago. Why people a thousand miles away cared about conditions in the territories doesn't make any sense on the face of it.

But if you look at the political power equation, then it seems to have a pattern, and that pattern always seems to favor dominance for North Eastern political preferences in Washington DC.

But I didn't ping you, I didn't consider you reasonable enough to even contemplate the idea.

Regarding every effort at upheaval, look who is poised to gain.

Cui Bono?

As I mentioned before, why would people come from Massachusetts, New York and such to Mississippi? Are there not enough troubles in Detroit, Baltimore or Washington DC?

I'm asking if there is a political power angle, because I have started to notice such things.

Correct - it’s a cash cow no matter how you look at it... they profit with $, votes, attention and power.

It’s only still alive because these “progressives” refuse to actually progress. We don’t need to forget about the years of slavery and subsequent segregation our country endured, but I would like to believe we could learn from it and move on - leave it in the history books.

Leftists, whether they are in politics, the media or business won’t let it go. They can’t. For some, it’s pretty much the only angle they have.

Gee, maybe they were motivated by the horrible realization that a segment of the American population were being brutally disenfranchised simply because of their skin color.
