The incident occurred at a public park in Minnesota, where a white woman was filmed calling a Black five-year-old child the N-word. She accused the child of going through her own child’s diaper bag. When confronted by a bystander, the man who recorded the video, she justified her use of the slur, saying, "If that’s what he’s going to act like."I didn't follow this very closely, why'd she use the slur anyway ? were they threatening her or the kid ?
I appreciate your perspective and historical references. I am still a student, and as I continue to read about American history, I find that all the references you provided are absolutely correct. I truly appreciate your honesty.Going to have to disagree here. Having grown up in the late 50s through the race riots of the 60s into the early 70s, it was and very clearly still is the left who are the racists. They are just very very good at making the right out to be the racists. Yet, the facts state otherwise. Allow me to elaborate:
- The Southern Manifesto - this was a document signed by very prominent Southern Democrats that basically affirmed their commitment to segregation and Jim Crow laws. Prominent authors or signatory to the document: William Fulbright, Carl Vinson, Strom Thurmond, and Wilbur Mills.
- George Wallace - one of the biggest racists at the time.
- Civil Rights Act of 1964 - one of the opponents to this was Albert Gore Sr.
- The Ku Klux Klan - that was created by the Democrats shortly after the Civil War. Senator Robert Byrd from West Virginia, whom a number of buildings are named after him, was a Grand Kleagle of the KKK.
- Jim Crow Laws - creation of Southern Democrats
- Voting Rights Act of 1965 - was enacted as a result of on-going Southern Democrat discrimination against black voters.
I know this because I lived in this era. Everything the Democrats have done since then supposedly in protection of black Americans has had the exact opposite effect.
Now, that said, are there extremists on the right? Of course there are. I would be foolish to say otherwise. There is one such person here. Didn't take me long to figure that out.
But to say that a significant portion of racists in America align with the Republican party is simply ignorance without understanding the full context of race relations in this country.
Biden trashes Trump's efforts for Russia-Ukraine peace
Thank you sir. Appreciate your not conflating our personal petty differences with your pursuit to obtain the truth.I appreciate your perspective and historical references. I am still a student, and as I continue to read about American history, I find that all the references you provided are absolutely correct. I truly appreciate your honesty.
At the moment, I am a bit busy with the stock market. I used to be an investor, but Trump’s erratic behavior, policies, and statements have disrupted the market. As a result, I have shifted from investing to trading. In this unpredictable market, long-term investments have become risky, and the only way to make money is through short-term trades. I am playing with a small amount of money, using tight stop-loss strategies, because you never know what new statement will come from the White House and shake things up.
I will definitely share my point of view, as I strongly believe that today’s Democratic Party is not the party of the 1960s. I hope you enjoy reading.Lol
