Given the upvotes for this post, I just love that the retards on this board still get mad at being called racist. Just embrace it already.

I’ll prolly go to the History Museum this weekend.

Let the crowds die down before going to the Civil Rights portion sometime in ‘18.

I don't plan to visit Jackson, MS ever again in my life, but if I do, I'll probably check it out.

If, for some reason, I ever find myself in Jackson, I'll check it out. Looks interesting enough and even if I don't agree with every single thing that's presented, there's nothing wrong with learning opposing viewpoints.

If I ever take a job as a homicide detective, forensics specialist, or riot cop, I might get within a few blocks of it.

But I work in IT so it seems unlikely.

No the museum celebrating the end of Jim Crow laws. Big fan of back of the bus, separate water fountains and lunch counters were ya?

Those places are inherently racist by creating one side as the villain & the other as the victim


Um, the segregationists were villains and black people legitimately were victims.

No, they were actually just guys who didn't want to see every public school district and inner city in the Southeastern United States irreparably destroyed by desegregation.
