You're eighteen years old.
You've read about it.
I was there.
Lived in Memphis.
MS was the hot bed. followed by Alabama.
I was in Clarkdale the day LBJ signed the
civil rights bill... remember the day CLEARLY:
July 2, 1964. I lived in Memphis.
Yes ugly times, but revisionism and political
ambitions are running rampant right now.
Too bad, but blacks have shown they're just as
low down and dirty when they have the chance: OJ Simpson jury.
"Lived in Memphis."
I didn't know that.
Oh yeah.
Lived in Memphis all of '64
and part of '65. Went to Clarksdale
a LOT... wet county...lol.
"Yes ugly times, but revisionism and political
ambitions are running rampant right now."
Absolutely right.
Sickening, however fascinating, to watch.
"Too bad, but blacks have shown they're just as
low down and dirty when they have the chance: OJ Simpson jury."
That was LA. And, the big cities. However, in small town
Southern America, there is a growing black middle class.
Please...try not to be so pessimistic.
I have black neighbors.
One family directly across the street,
and another family directly behind me.
They're definitely middle class and really
nice folks. We visit back and forth, and
went to Mardi Gras parade together. Nice
tight neighborhood. VERY HAPPY HERE.
If the MSM has their way it will be a rendition of the vaunted case "The Queen v Alice." Verdict first, trial later.
They were a terrorist organisation.
And they were all democrats, in fact back then if you wanted to be somebody in the dixiecrats you first had to be a member of the klan. After seeing what the welfare society imposed by the democrats has done to the Black community I have to conclude that they are still on the same track that they started out on in the 1840s.
THAT is what I'm talking about. ;o)
And, that is what is overlooked.
I lived in an integrated middle
class neighborhood in the late 70s.
People seem to equate ALL Southerners
with inner Atlanta, N'Awlins, Jackson,
Detroit, LA...
I'm glad you are so happy.
I wish I could be there.
" ALL Southerners"
Well...I meant to say
ALL blacks.
Not sure when that will be yet.
But, thank you.
They may not be wearing hoods anymore, but if you look at the way Condi Rice and Colin Powell have been treated, they sure haven't changed a whole lot since then.
You need to meet the "lawyer" and the other guy too.
Both so nice and both are FUNNY. We can do a lunch meeting...lol.
EXCELLENT POINT!
Thank you.
You're so right.
Condi, Powell, Justice Thomas...
the ones who knock them, ought to
try to emulate them or at least respect
them for their achievements.
"You need to meet the "lawyer" and the other guy too.
Both so nice and both are FUNNY. We can do a lunch meeting...lol."
I think I could use some "legal", and "other" advise.
Lunch would be great!
I have abolutely no doubt that those two are a "must meet".
And, you, as well. ;o)
I enjoyed the Civil Rights Movement during the Summer of 1978 during the Memphis Fireman's strike. I was pulling duty with a National Guard Unit the weekend it erupted and got to see diversity at its finest. Just look at how Memphis has progressed since diversity has hit city hall and the county government.
I am surprised nobody yet said, "Some people need Killen."
I see them as nothing more than idiots with wrong views wearing white hoods. Terrorist organization? Bit of a hyperbole wouldn't you say?
