Nobody is going to read Professor Bell’s book to learn about “critical race theory”. All this controversy does is remind minorities that conservatives hated the civil rights movement, hated Dr. Martin Luther King,

MLK was a card-carrying Republican you dummy. So were the overwhelming majority of blacks before the mid to late 60’s. The Democrats(largely) and Dixiecrats opposed the civil rights movement. Like their “conscience of the Senate,” the late Robert KKK Byrd - BARBARIC!..BARBARIC!..from the h…hills…to the…whatever etc. And Al Gore who tried to steal Florida in 2004 - his daddy was a Klansman too. And now they’re the party for women all of a sudden even though they opposed women’s suffrage, piled up half a century of presidential molestation and rape victims not to mention their lion who won the Chappaquiddick freestyle championships - manslaughter notwithstanding. And just over two years ago Obama was trying to cut mamogram screening for women over 40:

This is the legislative hisotry of the Civil Rights Act of 1965:

The Act was sent to Congress by President Johnson on March 17, 1965. The bill passed the Senate on May 26, 1965 (after a successful cloture vote on March 23), by a vote of seventy-seven to nineteen. The House was slower to give its approval. After five weeks of debate, it was finally passed on July 9. After differences between the two bills were resolved in conference, the House passed the Conference Report on August 3, the Senate on August 4. On August 6, President Johnson signed the Act into law with Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and other civil rights leaders in attendance.
Vote count
President Johnson, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks at the signing of the Voting Rights Act on August 6, 1965.

The two numbers in each line of this list refer to the number of representatives voting in favor and against the act, respectively.

Senate: 77â??19

Democrats: 47â??17 (73%-27%)
Republicans: 30â??2 (94%-6%)

House: 333â??85

Democrats: 221â??61 (78%-22%)
Republicans: 112â??24 (82%-18%)

Conference Report:

Senate: 79â??18

Democrats: 49â??17 (four Southern Democrats voted in favor: Albert Gore, Sr., Ross Bass, George Smathers and Ralph Yarborough).
Republicans: 30â??1 (the lone nay was Strom Thurmond; John Tower who did not vote was paired as a nay vote with Eugene McCarthy who would have voted in favor.)

House: 328â??74

Democrats: 217â??54
Republicans: 111â??20

So were it not for the Republicans in the Senate and House, LBJ’s bill would have died before conference committee. A large faction of Democrats stood in opposition.
What LBJ traded to the Republicans, and what minor revenge he took on Democrats, is reviewed only briefly in Caro’s biography.

Watching K200 get taken apart across multiple threads is intensely entertaining…complete with multiple references and citations.

LOL I almost want to think that K is a troll trying to incite the hate.

It’s even better when the liberal posters have to step in and bitch slap him/her as well.

PWI never disappoints.

In all fairness it’s easy to take apart a committed, leftist liberal; their thinking is so inherently, fundamentally flawed that it’s like brushing your teeth - just not that big of a chore.[/quote]

Still I think there has gotta be a chance that he is fake…If Orion is jumping you, turn in your leftie card.

Did you just call me a liberal?

If I would burn down Edgys boat for a far lesser offense, think for a minute what I would do with yours.

All right, you obviously dont have a boat.

I would burn your wardrobe too you know, INCLUDING ALL OF YOUR SHOES!!!

And every Aquilera, Minelli and Garland CD I could find.

All of them.

Except the Wizard of Oz of course, because you gotta have respect, you know.

And, oh, Cabaret, definitely not that one, but all others, most definitely.

Can ANYONE disbelieve that Obama is a committed socialist, a radical leftist?[/quote]

Given that Obama has not instituted a single socialist policy and studies have been released showing that Obama is by the most moderate president since the 60’s, I can easily say that Obama is not a socialist. He may have once been super scary and radical in the past (sarcasm- I mean he may have been a little more liberal), but ideologies can change.

And may I remind all of you that Southern Democrats supported states rights and were against small government. Those Democrats became the Republican Party and made it what it was today. They were your ideological successors. There is a reason the black vote goes to the Democrats in modern elections. Stop pretending conservatives have always been the party of civil rights.

So let me see if I get this straight;

a young Obama was supporting a black right activists in promoting racial and gender equality in a field where there was none?

What’s the problem here? I can’t see anything wrong with this.

The problem is - you don’t have it straight. Go read the thread. Bell wasn’t a “black rights activist”.

That said, the video wasn’t a bombshell. But let’s get the facts straight.

I’m familiar with Dr Bell’s work, thanks.
Which, whether you agree with it or not, is completely irrelevant to what Obama was openly supporting and celebrating.

Of course, the people complaining about this are the same people that complained about Malcom X; bigots born into white privilege who like their minorities as opressed by WASP culture and as Uncle Tom as it gets.

[quote]want2getlean wrote:

Based on your post, I have no reason to believe that.

Well, not completely irrelevant - he was associating with a radical professor - but that’s why the video wasn’t a bombshell: Obama wasn’t supporting the radical beliefs of Bell per se, he was protesting for faculty diversity. Pretty un-radical.

Of course, this is utter rubbish, but thanks for outing yourself as someone I have no reason to take seriously - it’ll save me the trouble.

I suppose any black person complaining about a white politician just hates Honkey’s then right?

When you are the president people have a right to vet your past…the fact that the MSM has done nothing to look into the presidents past makes people nervous.

You can’t really be this dumb…right?

Sure they do, except there’s absolutely NOTHING wrong here.
Only closet racists and people indocrinated by anti-socialist propaganda grasping at straws against a fine man.

Exactly. Glad we can all agree that Obama was doing fine upstanding activist work and this video is a non-issue.

Yeah well, the point that the one Breitbart journalist made still stands:

If you have one Jeremy Wright in your past, or one Bill Ayers or one whoever this guy is, oh well.

If you whole past is chock full of them I think it is reasonable to ask why.
