[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 715062, member: 789"] Reading all the comments above I’ll add a couple of points from a dude that’s configured more like a pound puppy than most of you: 1955 Rosa Parks decided she wanted a different seat on a bus. We were drinking in different water fountains, sleeping in different hotels, etc back then. If you are 75, maybe you remember those days. A. We did not pass Civil Rights legislation until 1964. If you’re older than 60, you probably remember it. B. Watts riots were in 1965, Chicago in ‘66, there was the long hot summer of ‘67 (Boston, Buffalo, Milwaukee, Newark, Cincinnati, etc) C. Dr Martin Luther King was assassinated in 1968. Maybe you remember if you were 55? DC, Chicago, Baltimore, etc were very violent again. D. 1972 there was a riot on the Kitty Hawk. Maybe you were there if you are 66? E. 1992 was the Rodney King beating. Hell, you barely have to be over 30 to remember this. F. Next decade we’re in 20o5 and a bunch of neo Nazi started a riot in Toledo. G. 2014 was Ferguson. Sorry left out the 80’s, 1980 the KKK started a riot by a drive by shooting in Chattanooga. I have a 70 yo black woman working for me that grew up as a sharecropper’s daughter. Dirt floor poor. We had a powerful member of the US Senate in office until 2010 that was a Klan member. That was only 10 years ago. Nobody ran him off, in fact people voted for him even though he hated them. 65 years ago a man who was probably in the Klan became President. Some of this stuff is not too long ago. Think about that when you’re telling people not to think the way they’re thinking. [/QUOTE]
