The KKK is alive and well and because they took off the hoods and run for office doesn't mean they changed their ways.

They are the invention of Democrats... and have always been the bastion of the left.

Damn facts get in the way eh smoothy?
Ku Klux Klan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK), informally known as the Klan or the "Hooded Order", is the name of three distinct past and present far-right[7][8][9][10] organizations in the United States, which have advocated extremist reactionary currents such as white supremacy, white nationalism, and anti-immigration, historically expressed through terrorism.

Well... leave it to a Canadian to get it wrong again.

Are you aware of just how often Wikipedia is wrong?

I suppose it was martians and not democrats that fought against the civil rights laws?

Well I always thought Al Gore was from outer space... because he father was apparently.

The Longest serving Sneator... a Democrat was a big Klansman...

Sen. Robert C. Byrd Google it up.

[talaniman]

There you go ignoring the flip flop of yesterdays political parties to the current ones. Those anti civil rights democrats are now republicans. Your hood is on to tight, backward, or BOTH!!

[speechlesstx]

If I recall Sheets Byrd was always a Democrat and Republicans have always been the party that fought for civil rights. You guys are the ones with hoods on too tight, you only switched to grab an opportunity to get a permanent constituency and In my opinion are keeping blacks enslaved to you with your policies. They can never be free as long as you keep them as dependent victims.

It's the left that's doing the flip flopping... the fact remains the KKK was started by and populated most by lefties... and democrats... and the Democrats really didn't care because they had reelected so many so many Klansmen into office for so many decades AS Democrats. Byrd wasn't the only one... only the longest serving klansman. There were a LOT more Democrats than republicans...

That was then, this is now. What are you stuck in the past or something? Or in denial?

Obama who is just as white as Zimmerman is... yet the left refuses to call Obama a white... or Zimmerman a Hispanic... Hypocrisy...

And Obama and Holder... both are blacks that are showing their hatred of anyone not black with the Zimmerman Lynching.

THat fact is Zimmerman was acquitted of any crime in the court of law... despite a prejudicial judge and a procescuter who was caught witholding evidence.

I bet they wouldn't be so approving of this behaviour if THEY were the targets of it.

"These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again." (Senator Lyndon Baines Johnson on the 1957 Civil Rights Act)

“I'll have those n+ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” (Lyndon Baines Johnson... Ronald Kessler's 'Inside the White House' )

Guess it worked huh? To bad there were no other options on the other side. You have often said it's the best of two bad choices.

In other words nothing did change after all, you still practice giving them "a little something" but "not enough to make a difference" to keep them voting Democratic.

Republicans offered black folks more of the same, dogs water hoses and more discrimination. Just like now. You aren't really wondering why woman and minorities don't like you guys, ideas, or policies do you?

Coddling a guy with a bloody nose ain't helping your case at all and reasonable white people were just as shocked. They are taking to the streets protesting too, so its not just black people that are outraged.

[speechlesstx]

Give it a rest, you have nothing but the same rhetoric and lies about us discriminating. Like I've said before, if I have to lie to them, buy their votes with handouts and stir up sh*t to get their vote you can have them and I'll hold onto my integrity. Some day those who aren't afraid to speak out against your deception and slander are going to get through and they're going to realize they've been played.

Its already been proven there are a bunch of uninformed idiots running around in this country. If they can't comprehend the law then they are protesting for nothing.I guess his girlfriend is the perfect living example of the way things are in the younger generation.

The judge conducted the trial in a professional manner. The prosecution and the defense made their arguments. The juries were properly instructed that in a — in a case such as this, reasonable doubt was relevant, and they rendered a verdict. And once the jury's spoken, that's how our system works.

I don't want us to lose sight that things are getting better. Each successive generation seems to be making progress in changing attitudes when it comes to race. I doesn't mean that we're in a postracial society. It doesn't mean that racism is eliminated. But you know, when I talk to Malia and Sasha and I listen to their friends and I see them interact, they're better than we are. They're better than we were on these issues. And that's true in every community that I've visited all across the country.

And so, you know, we have to be vigilant and we have to work on these issues, and those of us in authority should be doing everything we can to encourage the better angels of our nature as opposed to using these episodes to heighten divisions. But we should also have confidence that kids these days I think have more sense than we did back then, and certainly more than our parents did or our grandparents did, and that along this long, difficult journey, you know, we're becoming a more perfect union — not a perfect union, but a more perfect union.

cherry picked comments from the emperor's musings yesterday. Every once in a while he has random moments of acting Presidential.

[paraclete]

I like the measured approach of BO to this issue, he remarked that generation by generation you are improving. That is positive, isn't it?

[tomder55]

like I said... random act of being Presidential... I did not cherry pick the many irresponsible comments he made in the same address... like his life experiences have any relevance to this discussion. That would only be true if he had also been twice suspended from school ,once for getting caught with a burglary tool and a dozen items of property that did not belong to him. Did our young emperor like to fight and see his opponent bleed?
Articles: New Evidence Shows Trayvon's Life Unraveling
Did he ever sucker punch anyone ,and straddle him punching his face repeatedly telling that person they were going to die ?
Did he go to the convenience store to get the ingredients for a home made recreational drug ? Skittles and Arizona Watermelon are two ingredients commonly used to make a "lean" or "purple drank."Trayvon's Facebook posts indicate he was actively seeking other ingredients to make a batch of lean, namely Promethazine with Codeine VC (sometimes the DXM in Robitussin is substituted too) .
Our young emperor's experiences as a youth are as far from Treyvon's as mine are . He had all the advantages that Treyvon would never have had. So his projections are fantasies . And Treyvon's death is no more or less tragic depending on his biography.

He also irresponsibly implied that there is “a sense that if a white male teen was involved in the same kind of scenario, that, from top to bottom, both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different.” What does he mean by that ? Is he saying that the verdict would've been different had Treyvon been white ? His "sense " of the events is not backed up by the evidence of the case .Everyone from the prosecution to Treyvon's parents have stated that race had nothing to do with the case . So why make that statement except to inflame the situation on the eve of Al Sharpton's planned 100 city protest ?

Hello again, tom;

Did he ever sucker punch anyone ,and straddle him punching his face repeatedly telling that person they were going to die ?

Zimmerman was acquitted because NOBODY knows what happened at that crucial moment. Why you take his words as gospel is beyond me.

So once again Tom you are saying BO is a white n******, not representative of his people. How polite of you not to say something else
