    No, it's not. It's true at all and you keep making false statements and then refuse to back it up with any evidence or proof. A surprise attack or raid does not quantify anyone or any military as superior. Period.

    Thanks to the Republicans, much like the Civil War itself, the Republicans were fighting hard for equal rights and to free the slaves from Democratic rule.

    Meanwhile, a KKK member by the name of Byrd (A KKK Democratic Senator) was leading the charge against Civil Rights. He could have started another war with his nonsense. Cool heads and Republicans prevailed. Pleanty of examples throughout our history.

    Enjoy:

    Reminder, Byrd was a Democratic KKK member and a racist. How did he ever get elected? Unreal. We should be a nation of equal rights for everyone and leaders like Byrd should never be allowed to serve.

    Lol, you're the one who literally made a false equivalency, or attempted to anyway. I questioned your false equivalency (feel good platitude), for which you have no direct way of answering. Why is that?

    Well, since a majority of what's on TV shows white men as buffoons and black women as superior, there can be only two reasons for this. Either the production people just hate white men, or they fear a backlash if they were to show black women as buffoons and white men as superior.

    Every word is true. The Dems are the engine that drove and still drives Civil Liberty in America, the GOP tries to hinder it at every step.

    The 14th Amendment, SCOTUS rulings, and the Democratic Party forcing the GOP to comply in 1964 and 1965 are why those laws work today.

    Every southern GOP Senator and Congressman voted against the CRA in 1964.

    The Democratic Senators and Congressmen from the North and the West had higher %s in voting for the CRA than northern and western Republicans.

    That is the truth and what is taught in HS and college. Tough.

    You can say you are right, or you can show (which you wont' because you can't) you are arguing a fallacy of false equivalence of degree and kind.

    What makes you think black women are buffoons?

    "You and I are simply no more 'superior' to a Gautemalan peasant than they are to us."

    That's not an objective truth, but mere platitude... unless you can clarify or just acknowledge that it makes you feel good to say such things. You've done neither.

    In the eyes of God we're all the same. But this assumes you believe in God, and as I'm likely talking to someone left-of-center, I'll keep the discussion limited to more concrete terms.

    In that sense, sure we can. On a purely temporal level I've known many people superior to me, and many inferior to me. I've known people half my age twice as good as I am, and people twice my age half as good as me. I've grown up with less than what the kids I went to school with had, and done better than many of them have - and I have Facebook to thank for that knowledge. I've made better decisions in life that resulted in better options for me now, while several kids I went to school with that had just about every privilege handed to them ended up sniffing markers and losing brain cells faster than Ellen Page gets triggered. I see kids at my school who are all lower-class kids - there may be a couple lower-middle class ones in there, possibly ten - who are all minority kids and yet some make far better decisions than others do. Yeah, there are superior individuals out there, as well as inferior ones.

    CRA was to stop redlining practices? It was meant to diminish black neighborhoods.
    Why would anyone/group be against forced discrimination?

    The CRA is to establish equal opportunity and due process for all Americans, yet the GOP oppose it.

    Whoever said it was to diminish black neighborhoods? Anybody can live where they want. You just can't tell someone else "you cant' live here because you are a Jew or a White or from Belmont, Tennessee."

    Anyone who thinks someone who is left of center is probably not a Believer is simply foolish.

    Yes, no one under the law is considered superior over someone else.

    He was a Democrat and a KKK leader. From my experience, the South is far less racist than places like NYC. That is for sure.

    Thanks to Republicans. Dates back to the Civil War when Republicans fought hard for freedom for all.

    Byrd repented, whereas Thurmond and Helms did not. Remember, that the far right have trouble with full narratives.

    So you agree that black lives matter? Because the alternative is that black lives don't matter.

    :roflol::roflol::roflol: - A Democrat KKK member that filibustered the Civil Rights vote and you come to his defense. Which completely refutes your claims, BTW.

    Don't care which political party he belonged to. It's a geographic thing.
    Lynchings and black church burnings were mostly a southern activity.
    I am not aware of any in NY.

    You always fail to tell the whole story. He was rated almost a 100% liberal at the end for his civil rights stance. You should emulate that ending.

    Not likely, Democrats don't give up their hate easily. Byrd just realized brown people could build his gated community cheaper and whites failed to get him back his slaves. That's why liberals hate whites now...

    Black lives matter is not about black lives, it’s about hate. If they really cared about black lives they’d be all over Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Baltimore, etc trying to save black lives, but they’re not. Coming from the left, the phrase black lives matter is about as misleading and untruthful as the phrase women’s health.

    im pretty sure they are in chicago doin exactly that but dont let me rain on your little rant.

    as for the topic, no, its not ok to be white because that phrase is about being a racist and not about being white. so anybody who says that phrase is a racist, point blank, line them up for me and ill knock them down one by one.......

    Link us to this heroic effort by BLM otherwise you're just talking and not backing it up. Name a life that BLM saved.

    BLM is a racist hate group. Period. End of story.

    Who decides what is and isn't racist, you? The left has already condemned the phrases white lives matter and all lives matter as being racist. And of course if anyone disagrees with you or anyone on the left then violence is needed to change their thinking.

    It's OK to be white. You can either tolerate and live with it, or you can continue down the left's road of hating white people while not considering that racist.

    BTW, since you seem to dislike racists to the point of getting violent, why are you ignoring Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Obama, Farrakhan, Sarsour, Omar, Tlaib and many of the people in the North East and Hawaii? Why don't you put your violent talents and skills to good use?

    They are on the street corners in LA Chicago Baltimore every state in the US. Go to the city, have a look and get off your PC.

    Idecide who is a racist here because iam the only one qualified, being a white anti racist activist. unless of course you think the fox should be in charge of the chicken coop.

    that puts me near the top of the ladder and you at the rock bottom when it comes to deciding who is a racist (assuming you are white)
