Let me guess: Joe wants the airlines to designate seating areas for people based on the color of their skin.

 

Is that it?

Thank you. I had rhetorical questions in both of my most recent posts to you. Was it really that hard to tell me which one you were prattling on about? Really?

 

And to respond directly, if you have no filter for sarcasm you are truly beyond all hope.

Yes - the GQP - every single one of them.

 

 

 

 

From the mouth of one of the top GOP strategists of his era:

 

Quote

Y'all don't quote me on this. You start out in 1954 by saying, "N-----, n-----, n-----." By 1968 you can't say "n-----"—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "N-----, n-----."

One of the longest serving democrats. If I’m not mistaken, Brandon delivered his eulogy.

”The late senator’s anti-black views were deep and long-lasting, not simply a youthful indiscretion.”

If anyone is looking for a good book recommendation on this subject, I highly recommend “The Sum of Us” by Heather McGhee. 
 

Her most poignant example is how we used to have great public works programs like beautiful public pools, but when they had to be integrated, we filled them in rather than share them.
