what sabertooth and the other Lott bashers are doing is a hate crime

Civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them." -- Mary Frances Berry, Chairwoman, US Commission on Civil Rights

This is SUPPOSE to be the head (as in LEADER) of the US COMMISION ON CIVIL RIGHTS! Does she sound like she is for CIVIL RIGHTS FOR ALL?! Or do you think the same way that she does? She said it, she didn't just THINK it as you claim Trent Lott did!

Civil Rights Commissioner Dr. Mary Frances Berry says scores of church burnings since January 1995( which is a bold face lie) , are symptomatic of a larger racial problem in the U.S. - growing segregation.

If they want to keep up this double standard, I'm willing to dig out everything any of them have ever said if it takes me until the next election...night & day.

[nopardons]

Right you are! You " get it " . :-)

Many FREEPERS, who have been and still are calling for Lott's head, aren't even GOPers ; they're fringers , who worked for / voted for Keyes, Phillips, or Brown. A few did vote for President Bush ; however, they really didbn't want to.

[nopardons]

Did Jim say that ? He's correct.

[kcvl]

Were blacks better off under segregation?

NO! And neither were we.

[Texasforever]

Are you implying that the progress since desegregation is illusory?

Yes I am. That is not hyperbole that is fact. It is also fact that they have accepted it with eyes wide open. Blacks have always been under "segregation" and this time it is by their own choice. You cannot debate an untouchable subject and there will be no change because of it.

[nopardons]

That's exactly what we all must do and go back decades, to get all of the " juicey " bits.

[recalcitrant]

We are here, just tired of the obsessive lott bashing (who I don't really like that much).

The dems are behind this crap and I for one am tired of the "how insensitive" and "bad senator" crap fest.

Lott may have slipped. So what. He did not mean anything nefarious by it... and the dems will take EVERY statement out of context for the foreseeable future on every potential issue that they can stir up.

Screw them all.
Lott's the man for now.
We gotta dance with the person we came to the prom with. Lott can step down later if his toes get sore. Right now, it's not time to sweat small stuff.

So go TRENT...
NO MORE APOLOGIES.
Watch your mouth and just move on with the agenda... like a bulldozer that accidently hit a sapling in its path... NO BIG DEAL to anybody but the sappling.

And we got a field to clear for the new buildings.
move on.

If you believe that black progress since desegregation is illusory, then would you say that blacks were better off under legal segregation than they are now?

I have already gotten some of them like what Truman wrote to Bess, etc. They don't want to play this "game" because it can get very ugly.

"White folks was in caves while we was building empires... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it." -- Rev. Al Sharpton in a 1994 speech at Kean College, NJ



"There's no great, white bigot; there's just about 200 million little white bigots out there." -- USA Today columnist Julienne Malveaux


"The white race is the cancer of human history." -- Susan Sontag


"Reparations are a really good way for white people to admit they're wrong." -- Zack Webb, University Of Kentucky NAACP

[kcvl]

The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him. I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the lake of fire prepared for him from the beginning, that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years." -- Louis Farrakhan who campaigned for congresswoman Cynthia McKinney in 2002, City College audience in New York


"The old white boys got taken fair and square." -- San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown after winning an election


"The Jews don't like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that's a good name. Hitler was a very great man. He rose Germany up from the ashes." -- Louis Farrakhan (1984) who campaigned for congresswoman Cynthia McKinney in 2002

'Hymies.' 'Hymietown.' -- Jesse Jackson's description of New York City while on the 1984 presidential campaign trail.

"Jews — that's J-E-W-S." -- Democratic state representative Bill McKinney on why his daughter Cynthia lost in 2002

"These laws [segregation] are still constitutional and I promise you that until they are removed from the ordinance books of Birmingham and the statute books of Alabama, they will be enforced in Birmingham to the utmost of my ability and by all lawful means." -- Democrat Bull Connor (1957), Commissioner of Public Safety for Birmingham, Alabama

"I'll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years." -- Lyndon B. Johnson to two governors on Air Force One according Ronald Kessler's Book, "Inside The White House"

(On New York) "K*ketown." -- Harry Truman in a personal letter

It's even worse, for blacks, than you have already laid out.

Prior to the Civil Rights Act, blacks went to Ivy League schools, because they were worthy. Now, even those who ARE well qualified, suffer the stigma of " quota " candidate.

In Nixon's first successful presidential camaign, a black Conservative woman, from Chicago, seconded his nomination at the Convention. No one said that she was a " token ". Now ? Now, any black Conservative is labeled a " token " and worse.

Prior to the Civil Rights Act, race hustlers and poverty pimps could be called what they were. Now ? No one had better call a spade a spade. BTW, before the damned FR PC " word police " start screaming at me, that's an old phrase and in this instance, " spade " doesn't mean a black person, but a garden impliment; so there.

Prior to the Civil Rights Act, 30 % of blacks were born out of wedlock , most were married, and many got VERY good educations / graduated from high school. Now ? Now, none of that is true.

This was the same Hollings who had been quoted by a television reporter as using the word "darkies" in an off-the-air interview (he said he didn't recall using the word); who had used the term "wetbacks" during his 1984 presidential bid; who had labeled Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition "the blackbow coalition"; who had called then-Sen. Howard Metzenbaum (D-Ohio) "the senator from B'nai B'rith."

If you believe that black progress since desegregation is illusory, then would you say that blacks were better off under legal segregation than they are now?

Now you are reading my mind just as you are reading Lott's. You cannot prove a negative and I won't even try. I have a historical record of 50 years to make my case and you cannot refute it. In every metric, blacks are still at the bottom of the ladder and they vote to stay that way.

"The Medicaid system must have been developed by a white male slave owner. It pays for you to be pregnant and have a baby, but it won't pay for much family planning." -- Jocelyn Elders

[Texasforever]

Well I have already been reported for racism and so I will not argue the point further.

[nopardons]

I have refrained from posting, to any and all threads, for the last week. The more I've read, here, the more sorry and ashamed I've become, to be associated with this forum and the supposed Conservatives here, who " think " that they are politically astute, when they are as easily manipulated, as the Dems on DU .

I have broken my silence and like you, KNOW what this entire mess really is and from whence it came. I agree completely with you !

[nopardons]

You betcha ! That's what all of us must do; counter with their statements...even if we have to go back 100 years !

It's long past time that WE roll up our sleeves and fight the game their way. :-)
