They view it as an ongoing fight.
Sorry but this glorification and canonization of John Lewis is nauseating. Throughout his congressional career he supported abortion on demand that killed millions of pre born black lives. Nor did he object when his fellow liberals located their abortion mills in predominantly black and minority neighborhoods. He is no hero.
Certain demographics don’t want equal opportunity, they want equal outcome.
BLM has belatedly decided that Col. Lloyd Garrison was right, and since the Constitution countenanced slavery, it was a pact with the Devil, and since the free states failed to secede from the Union, they were all eeeeeevil!, too. So they are accepting the view of a white man against that of Frederick Douglas, a former slave, who believed that the Constitution and Declaration were incompatible with slavery, and that since the Constitution was drafted in order to make a more perfect union, it would in time reject slavery entirely in spite of the temporary allowances it made for the institution, and therefore every time a slave holder saluted the heroes of the Revolution, he doomed himself. History has proven Frederick Douglas right, but belatedly, BLM is listening to that honkey Garrison instead of the soul bro. Therefore, the Civil Rights Movement was simply too little, too late, and irrelevant. Whitey is evil. Paleface Lloyd Garrison said so.
The hateful and spiteful Lewis is another loser who, so intoxicated by Washington DC, died in his chair. Like McCain and Cummings they think it matters. My 4 kids couldn’t pick these clowns out of a lineup. They are already forgotten.
Because the special classes that Booker T Washington so famously described need to make their Cold Hard Cash... Make it by selling all of us out...grifters of the lowest order...purveyors of misery..
The only time they’ll declare victory is when all the crackers are dead and they have all of their wealth.
Why? Follow the money.
Agreed! We’re still fighting it - at some levels - because people like John Lewis, Jesse Jackson and others have discovered that they can profit from keeping it alive.
Here's the answer.Next question,please!
Excellent. Thanks for posting
Why? Because there’s millions to be made baby!
Also, its a vehicle for the left to ride into power. Blacks are cannon fodder to the white liberal elite and the lunatics working for them.
Douglass had it right. The Declaration of Independence set out our ideals as a people — All men are created equal and have certain inalienable rights. We are also humans, and as such are imperfect. We have failed to live up to this ideal, more so at some times in our history than others. The Constitution was such an example. It contains language that recognized the political reality of the late 18th century. Unfortunately part of that reality was that slavery was legal in many states. In order to get the Constitution ratified, this was necessary. It does not mean the Constitution was pro slavery, though, just that the Founders has to bow to the practicalities of their time.
I thought welfare and affirmative action cured this?
Well, I can understand completely that your "certain demographics" have a fixed and unalterable belief that equal outcomes is EXACTLY what they were promised (and I agree with them, they WERE promised exactly that by the President, by the Congress, and by their leaders).
You have to be a blind man not to see that the increasing rage we see all around us is because the nation and its government have not delivered on this promise.
Now, of course, this is not what white people MEANT TO SAY when they agreed to the "civil rights revolution", but YT sure didn't try very hard to make it clear exactly what price blacks would have to pay for "integration", and what the inevitable results would be.
BLM: If you are white, you are a racist. If you are black, you are an Uncle Tom. Anyone who disagrees with us is either the one, or the other. And even if you agree with us and are white, you are still a racist.
