A meaningless, generalized poll that fails to go into comprehensive detail as to what exactly “Civil Rights” mean and how they apply.

Nathan Bedford's first Maxim of American politics:

All politics in America is not local but ultimately racial

One need only contemplate the history running up to the passage of the civil rights acts and the shaping of society in the wake of those statutes to see the profound impact race has had on the nation.

But one need not study that history if he is not so inclined, one need only turn on the television and watch our sitcoms and our dramas to see how racial politics play out on that stage.

One can visit our schools from pre-K through postgrad and witness how those institutions have been shaped by race in America.

There is scarcely any issue which cannot be connected to race in America, just ask Elijah Cummings.

Although the main purpose of the bill was to eliminate discrimination and segregation and provide black Americans with basic rights, the unintended (?) consequence was to make black Americans victims and millions perpetual dependents of the state.

About half the black population of America is almost totally unable to make do for themselves. They rely on the American taxpayer for the basic necessities of life thereby becoming a permanent dead weight around the legs of the economy.

“The passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act was rated lower in importance than only five events: World War II, women gaining the right to vote in 1920, dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in 1945, and the Nazi Holocaust of World War II.”

What is event 5? Perhaps I just don’t understand the concepts imbedded in “Common Core Math” and that, since we dropped bombs on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, that is to be understood as accounting for events 3 and 4.

Albert Arnold Gore Sr was one of the main voices opposed to the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Odd how we heard about “No New Taxes” in 2000, but nothing about that. Only the sins of SOME fathers were pertinent, apparently.

If civil rights means being able to keep and bear arms, as is guaranteed by our Constitution, then we have lost our rights. If it means free from search by the NSA, then we have lost our rights. If it means free to travel without being molested by sex offenders working for the TSA then we have lost our rights. If it means being able to speak without fear of being arrested, then we have lost our rights.

‘Civil Rights’ is a misnomer and actually a large reason we are at the point we are today. It has allowed race to be destructively used as a battering ram. It also has provided for the completely BS notion that we are all the same. We must rid ourselves of the shackles from ‘civil rights’ if we ever hope to be great again.
