And of course, it's not equal now or ever will be, correct? I already admitted to not being a Bush fan.

By help you mean forced discrimination. Originally Posted by JacuzzmeOne hundred plus years of "Jim Crow" was forced discrimination. Affirmative Action is an inclusive program.

When Thomas was admitted was that due to affirmative action or was he admitted based on merit? Just asking for a friend.

A Georgia Dem state Senator I believe for instance.

Northern democrats opposed "Jim Crow".
1. President Truman intergrated the military
2. President John F. Kennedy started the Civil Rights Act.
3. When Hubert Humphrey started talking about Civil rights for blacks in the 1950's the dixiecrats disbanded and the joined the republican party. The late Senator Strom Thurman was a perfect example. You remember Senator Thurman, he was the staunch segregationist who fathered a child with a Black woman. This was before he joined the repubican party. His good buddy was John Gov George Wallace of Alabama. He would not let blacks register for class, so President Kennedy sent the National Guard so that blacks could register. Point is not ALL democrats believed in Jim Crow. It was the southern democrats. You conviently forget about that.
4. BTW, how come your beloved Republicans never did anything to eliminate "Jim Crow"? Republican Senator Strom Thurman filibustered the Civil Rights Act multiple times.

Your screaming against racism is about as genuine as the historical photos you used to love posting. You know, the fiery ones…
Spare us the hollow rhetoric.
If we’re are race baiting now in mid March, what does that portend for the rest of the election cycle here on ECCIE?
