Trump's Good ole Days
http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/davidbadash/video_of_60s_blacks_being_beaten_at_lunch_counters_with_trump_speaking_about_protestors_goes_viralMother Jones, a liberal news publication, about 12 hours ago posted a truly disturbing yet incredibly important video, and it's gone viral. As of this writing it has over 2.5 million views. The video is a compilation of footage of 1960's North Carolina and Mississippi lunch counter sit ins by African-Americans fighting for civil rights – and being harassed and beaten for it – along with a segregation protest in Alabama, and the beating of Freedom Rider Jim Peck.
The images are disturbing enough, but the filmmaker adds Donald Trump's voice as the "narration," and it becomes almost surreal, and definitely fascistic.
