(18,124 posts)I remember that. Truth is not something that can be denied, just banned in print and other MSM, which in this country is happening. The laws of this country were and still are designed to benefit one privileged segment of our 'democracy'/society. Until the idiots in blue, who are driven by insane racism, are held to the same legal standard as the ones they are murdering, the "privilege" and "evil" that some enjoy shall continue. DA's and judges the same. There is one privileged class and one class that is oppressed by the privileged class, subtly, by taking voting rights and civil rights away slowly. No ifs, and or buts about it. The sad part is that part of the oppressed class keeps voting for people who design laws to oppress them because fox snooze can keep them bamboozled, so nothing can be done about their lack of education or concern for the facts. JIM CROW is back, thank you very much, and it is in the abrogated voting rights, that evil Mr. Crow, these days, is attacking most vigorously. I'm just waiting for ALL my civil rights to be repealed-abolished in favor of the privileged class. The times are evil, driven by a not so subtle reactionary force bred in the 70's starting with Nixon's 'Southern Strategy". LeeAtwater and Kevin Phillips drudged that one up from a long history of hate and racism in southern mentality and culture. Any purist can google 'southern strategy'. It's all there.
Atwater and Phillips just took advantage of southern mentality and culture and it worked. That strategy has evolved and is much more pervasive today. Even the Supreme Court is not without taint from it by any stretch of the imagination.
A lot of americans, even some here, will deny any racism or class stratification exists. They will talk that post-racial society BS, but the walk is the other way. Deeper into the chasm of hate and bigotry.
Thank God for logical, reasoned, AWAKE people, like you, not lulled by honey boo boo and her cousin's family the Palin's. I plan on staying awake with you and many others and one day, I fear, a line must be drawn in the sand and what comes, will be.
