"Is it the government's submission that the citizens in the South are more racist than the citizens in the North?"
--Chief Justice John Roberts 2/17/13

Yes... we had a war about it, remember?

Bloody William: Reverend J: theaton: Neritz: "And his worse sin of all? He was a Democrat, in Mississippi. "

Actually, being a Democrat in Mississippi is not a sin at all. The KKK was started by Democrats. Gun control was started by Democrats in an attempt to keep the black, ex-slaves unarmed and unable to protect themselves.

So...vote Republican?

And ignore how political climates and party affiliations have shifted over the last farking century.

"Hi folks, Sen. Strom Thurmond here. In 1948, I ran for President on a platform of segregation. After I lost, I was elected to the Senate as a Democrat, where I served until 1964. In 1964, Democratic president LBJ, working with a coalition of Republicans and northern Democrats, pushed the Civil Rights Act though Congress.

That exact same year, I switched my party affiliation to Republican, along with thousands of other Dixie Democrats. For uh, no reason at all."

birchman: Oldiron_79: I cant wait till this ends up being a robbery or a lovers quarrel and all these people foaming at the mouth about zomfg racism KKK wargarbl are proven wrong, then exactly 0 of them own up to it.

That'll show them! Maybe you can have a trophy made for your mantle when you are right about something that you are just guessing about and have no personal knowledge of. Truly something to treasure and share with the grandkids someday, when you made an undeducated assumption on the internet and ended up being right in that cold winter of 2013.

Trophy? If I do something like that id have like a rasslin championship belt made so I could wear it to a fark party sometime.

So anyone remember the hung census worker thread?

It may be true that at any given moment, there are only two parties that influence policy. However, those two parties don't have to be D and R. The main problem we have now is that there is one party. It is the big government party and it has a left wing and a right wing. The left wings wants to grow the government to steal money from people to give to those who don't want to earn it. The right wing wants to grow the government to steal money from people to blow up other countries. If you want to support the status quo, keep voting for Ds and Rs.

I've gone to far off topic on this thread with politics. My original point was that I find it strange that blacks want to be part of a party that wants to keep them enslaved. The Ds have been doing a good job of it since the end of the civil war and the blacks seem to like it.

Weaver95: gay AND black? yeah...he was pushing it a bit far for that area of the country.

Walker: I'm surprised they let him live this long. This IS Mississippi we're talking about.

AirForceVet: Glad to see this story green-lighted. I submitted it under another source, so-so headline.

Clarksdale, MS: Home of the Delta Blues. Where the population is 54% black, the current mayor is black, and two of the four commissoners are black is a bastion of southern racism.
