Charles has been kissing Hillary lately....WHY?
The Clintons are using a FIRE HOSE LAWSUIT on Obama’s voters in Las Vegas. When will blacks wake up to the Clintons??
Am I nuts or didn’t Johnson sign that with a gun to his head?
Wasn’t the Civil Rights Bill a Republican bill? Just how do the Dummycrats grab the mantle of civil rights when it was the Republican Party, going back to Lincoln, that fought so hard to pass civil right?
I mean, you got a party that has not thrown out Sheets Byrd, had a governor (George Wallace) block entrance to a school, and on and on.
What the hell am I missing?
“It makes his achievement all the more miraculous — winning a permanent stake in the system for a previously disenfranchised people, having begun with no political cards to play.”
“Miraculous”? I think not.
MLK was an eloquent and gifted speaker, serving more as a combustive agent for a societal process that was already well under way for generations. Those evolutionary changes were occuring at a deeper and more long lasting level than what could ever be manifested in such visible and celebrated single events as the “I have a dream” speech.
America was changing on its own and it didn’t take King, or the governmental intervention of the Civil Rights Act, to start Americans down the path we are now on......for better or worse.
But..but...but...Bill Clinton is our first black President. And Obama is really so pale.
The *real* problem with Clinton's statement is that she was juxtaposing her own driving ambition to become president with what a past president accomplished previously, re: Civil Rights legislation. In the process of doing that, she offended and insulted a good core of civil libertarians on both sides of the asile.
Hillary's "Its all about *ME*, as *YOUR President* *I* will do everything to make *YOU* proud of *ME*", is beginning to wear thin with almost everyone. It's all about HILLARY as PRESIDENT.
Both MLK and LBJ must be turning in their graves right now with how this woman has vandalized their accomplishments. /sigh
