Sadly Stand, you are apparently unaware of how bad things were for people of color in your cherished homeland or what the original Freedom Riders were trying to accomplish.

also, the VICIOUS racists in the north (and do not be deceived, the NORTH has just as many, if not more, racists than anywhere else in the nation! ANTI-SEMITES, for one group of bigots, are MUCH worse in the north, than ANY place else!)are just as brutal as "Bull Connor" ever thought of being.

And what, you're claiming that there was privateering during WW2? Do tell. (This should be good)
fyi, as to college degrees, i have four (4).
Yeah, right. (Mail order diplomas don't count in the real world).
So by the same logic, it makes no difference whether a minority group is actively harassed and beaten by the police for attempting to vote, or whether they just stay home and don't vote because they don't care.
If you can't see the difference between using state power to support racism and not using state power, then I don't see how you can call yourself a conservative.
And yet, for some reason, far more Jews choose to live in the north than in the south. In fact, more Jews live in New York State alone than live in the entire former confederacy, including Florida (which has almost two-thirds of the south's Jews), by a large margin.
ALL three states (in early 1942)commissioned (and in MD's case actually ARMED, with both FULL AUTOMATIC MGs & other state-owned firearms) PRIVATE CITIZENS to do so. (if that's NOT "privateering" i don't know what else to call it.)
SEVERAL of the yachts/boats STILL EXIST. i was offered one "former patrol boat" from MD at a VERY low price about 2 years ago, IF i could get the funds together to refit/restore her to wartime condition. i was UNsuccessful in finding the $$$$$$. (do you KNOW anybody with about $ 200,000, tax deductible, to spare???)

Emphasis bump!
just out of curiosity, do you BELIEVE that DESEGREGATION/INTEGRATION is a WORTHY goal for NORTHERN schools??? OR do you think it's only worthwhile for us southerners???
fwiw, as a member of the "unionist faction", you have a LOT of NERVE to say that ANYONE is not conservative, given the STATIST/LEFTIST/REVISIONIST attitudes (and in a few cases RACIST/ANTI-Semetic comments) of the "DAMNyankee coven"!
once more, should we southerners send you some FREEDOM RIDERS to help YOUR schools desegregate???? (we'll be glad to return the favor!)

fwiw, there is essentially NONE in dixie. here (where some churches handle rattlesnakes in their services), Jews are just another sort of church, considered neither better nor worse than any other religion. (i CANNOT truthfully say the same right now, given world events, for followers of Islam!)
remind me sometime to DOCUMENT what happens every time my Jewish business partner & i go to the north on business.(we've yet to go to either NY or to MA, when someone didn't make a "antisemitic" comment or tell a "Jew joke" LOUDLY in her presence.)

In other words,"I IS SMART! I IS SMART!" Could you be more pathetic? I suppose you'll want to know how much I bench press next.
At the end of the day, I have enough education to run rings around you, pal. Of course, I've met 8th graders better able to compose a coherent argument, not to mention a coherent paragraph.
I think they're worthy goals, but I don't think that the law should be used to address geographic disparaties in racial makeup. I think that kids should go to their neighborhood schools. I also think that the real goal should be to raise all schools to the level of the best ones.
fwiw, as a member of the "unionist faction", you have a LOT of NERVE to say that ANYONE is not conservative,
Hey, you're the one who says he sees no difference in the cops beating a black student trying to register at his neighborhood school and white parents moving to the suburbs. After all, the effect is the same, right?

Sure, come on up. Be sure to tell everyone your fantasy about the risen south and Aztlan, too. They'll get a good laugh out of it.
No evidence of such a book, although links to a lot of FR threads in which you get raked over the coals.
written by the late Commodore of the TX Coastal Patrol.
No evidence of such an organization (except in another post of yours on this thread) Now, if you're talking aout the Coast Guard Reserve's Picket Patrol,that's documented, but that was clearly under USN and later USCGR control.
So, looking over that thread I found above...Wow. So you claim that the State of Texas issued letters of Marque and Reprisal?

otoh, i suspect they just "hold their nose" when it comes to you OR they would laugh AT you as i do. sadly for you, NOBODY here on FR takes your BILGE seriously.
free dixie,sw
in point of fact, the person who "raked you over the coals" isn't here any more & won't be back, because he was PROVEN to be a HATER,a FOOL, a LIAR & a BIGOT of the 1st Class.

fyi, AmerIndians were/ARE hated just as fiercely as Blacks ever were in this country. the DARKER skin you had/have, the worse the PREJUDICE was/IS expressed by the HATERS. (not only was my dad QUITE dark-skinned, but he married my mother in 1941. Mixed marriages were REALLY UNpopular with the BIGOTS.)
my dad fought the klan-IDIOTS & other HATERS from the 1930s, throughout WWII & until his death in 1966.
my civil rights activist days, otoh, were in the mid-60s & 70s, after the WORST was over.
i'm PROUD to say that i was one of THOUSANDS of students that marched on Memphis with MLK, Jr for "garbageman's rights. btw, MLK marched UNDER a 6x6 foot CSA battleflag at Memphis!
MLK, Jr was SMART enough to KNOW (UNlike today's DIMocRATS,lunatics, LEFTIST haters & so-called "civil rights leaders") that the battleflag is the flag of dixie LIBERTY, rather than a racist anathema.(btw, we southerners in the movement took our battleflags to AL,GA,LA & MS with us & flew them PROUDLY!)
free dixie,sw
Good for you. Did you wear your ROTC uniform to the march, or was it too hot that summer?
And you would be wrong since I do have an advanced degree in History.
However, This is a simple logical fallacy on your part-appeal to education.
How many semester hours did Patrick Henry and James Madison have?

Freed-1865!
Amazing that not a single picture of such a thing has ever turned up. You'd think the SCV and their ilk would be all over that one. Hmm.
