re: Does anyone else find themselves questioning a lot of the Civil Rights propaganda…

quote:My wife's family is from there and has a Neshoba County Fair cabin. I did not know her then but the Fair that year was like a powder keg. I typically resent outside interference such as those the 3 boys trying to register blacks to vote. But what happened to them was way, way over the top and a kangaroo court allowed some to walk. I later met a guy where I worked and a distant relative's property was where the three were buried. He was almost gleeful when he told the story.
I have family in Neshoba County and Yazoo County Mississippi who could change your mind on the contrived part. My grandmother from Neshoba is on record saying the civil rights activist that got killed there brought it upon themselves, much like the libtards were saying about Charlie Kirk. If you’re actually from the Deep South and are around people 60+ I’m not really sure how you can even question how bad some of that generation was.
Unfortunately I was in high school when all of the Supreme Court stuff came down and essentially ruined my last 2 years of high school which are supposed to be the best.

In 1950, fewer than 2% of Black Americans in Mississippi were registered to vote…. I’m sure they just didn’t want to or something like that
How has Jackson been doing since blacks started electing their own leaders their? Let me ask you a question and honestly think about it, would Jackson be better off if the Governor placed the leadership there or if they elected their own leadership?

The most important factual omission from the historical documentation of that era is that Democrats fought for continued segregation and Republicans fought to pass the Civil Rights legislation.

You having to change the topic shows how your standing on a platform of quicksand

He's not changing the topic. That is his argument. He's arguing giving black people rights and the ability to do things like vote were bad for them.

I grew up in St. Francisville. I graduated from high school in Columbus, MS. I remember segregated schools. Even after they desegregated the schools, the classrooms were segregated.
I remember in elementary school, their were 4 classrooms of blacks only, and two classrooms with all white kids - with one or two black kids to meet legal requirements of segregation, I assume. We had separate recess periods.
I remember separate water fountains and bathrooms. We had a black little league and a white little league. The facilities were separate, but definitely not equal.
My parents generation was more racist than my generation. My kids generation is less racist than my generation. Racism in the heart is withering on the vine. The people that make money off racism are struggling and trying to keep it alive. Their strategies to do so are despicable.
The end of racism is great news to some and a terrible outcome for people who's fortunes and political power are derived from racism and the perception of racism.

I think he’s discussing the outcomes (current) of these actions, not the inherent “good or bad” of them.

the reason you guys were on the lowest rung of the societal ladder was because you had the advantage of being born white and squandered it.

How, pray tell, does someone bring getting killed upon themselves? Were they raping someone? Were they assaulting someone? Were they breaking into someone's home? No??? Then shut the frick up.

Another truth:
Civil rights is anti-American.
Even the Supreme Court has ruled that the First Amendment guarantees our right to the freedom of association. If private citizens choose to self-segregate, they should have the right to do so.
In reality, civil rights were a form of ethnic cleansing. White people moved out of urban areas in droves. And almost all of them were accurate in their predictions over what would happen. Most cities today are dirty hellscapes akin to open-air prisons.

I can't read his mind but perhaps you're right. I can see that as a possible motivation.
But I can also see the opposite, that there are people who want to make US history as bleak as possible.

I imagine that if your daughter was killed in Sunday School when her church was bombed by a klansman, you probably are not inclined to think the era was contrived.

Shouldn’t the outcome be the driving factor in the “good or bad” dilemma? If you truly wanted Jackson to have less crime, murder, and poverty…then the simple answer is to remove their leadership and replace with better leadership and recognize that the citizens of Jackson are not capable of electing effective leaders.

don't kid yourself cubbie you wouldn't have owned slaves, only about 10% of southerners owned even one slave. no honey you would have lived in a split rail shack with a dirt floor and a sleeping loft, by the time you were 14 after your daddy had taken your virginity you'd have been married off to some guy in his 30's, who'd lost his first wife to yellow fever with three kids for you to raise. you're dowry would have been a pig or a mule. by your age now you wouldn't have a tooth in your head, most likely be dead.

If Hollywood were to make a remake movie of Iryna Zarutuska’s murder it would be a white man stabbing a black girl with a bunch of whites sitting there not caring, if they remade Charlie’s assasination it would be an angry white racist shooting a charismatic black leader.
Do you remember the old white man wearing a fanny pack that beat up the black guy on the bus after being constantly provoked. Hollywood used a similar scenario in a movie except Danny Trejo beat up two skin heads

I dunno, ask my racist arse grandmother. My overall point is that heavy racism wasn’t contrived where she is from. To her it was Yankees sticking their noses in business they didn’t belong.
