It seems like this needs to be done

Which side accepted them first? The North or the South? Ask Detroit. Chicago. New York. Baltimore (can't forget Charm City!). Point here is, they came north and the North did not drive them away, did not erect WHITES ONLY drinking fountains or rest rooms or lunch counters.

 

Shrill is definitely not a South Chicago type. Unless you're talking Capone's various hangouts on 22nd Street in Cicero.

 

So you post links to alt-history?

 

Nah, they had slavery these progressives wanted to expand it westward. Yanno, hope and change.

 

If one cannot move beyond the past, they have no future. Individuals are not readily being hung from trees anymore, and yet the black community acts as if lynchings are still an everyday threat they have to deal with.

What does so-called "acting white" actually amount to in realistic terms?

 

We are in agreement.

 

And my point is if people were truly interested in voting out Dems then third party candidates would get a hell of a lot more votes

 

Expanding it to make more money. Yanno, capitalism

 

And my point is, I am talking AFTER that party is disbanded. Give them proper incentive! Put the hard core commies in with others of their ilk. Loonytoonians the same. Labor, Socialist, you name it, any party with more than X number of valid signatures can join in and play.

Whichever the present crop of crazies flock to, they'll seize control in a flash. You underestimate their connivance.

 

Progressives are all about making money.

 

And conservatives aren't? Hahaha...keep digging

 

Race-baiters like $harpton and Jack$on, sure.

Ostracism from some but surely not all blacks, is the definition I was given by three separate black folks. If you succeed you somehow betrayed "the race." I don't ascribe to that theory. It's stupidly counterproductive for ANYbody.

 

Jeffrey Epstein. Dave Bing. Clinton Foundation. Hoo-hah, that list goes on.

 

"Phillips was a strategist on voting patterns for Richard Nixon's 1968 campaign, which was the basis for a book, The Emerging Republican Majority, which predicted a conservative realignment in national politics, and is widely regarded as one of the most influential recent works in political science.

His predictions regarding shifting voting patterns in presidential elections proved accurate, though they did not extend "down ballot" to Congress until the Republican revolution of 1994. Phillips also was partly responsible for the design of the Republican "Southern strategy" of the 1970s and 1980s."

Ya got bupkus, except for alt-BS.

 

For most of history Rightys said the opposite of that.

Fortunately my expectations are so low the difference between them and nothing is largely an academic point.

 

They aren't mutually exclusive, but, take your pick.

 

We are in agreement It is most certainly stupid and counterproductive for such a belief to be held by anyone for any reason.

One should never take pride in a sense of failure, or strive to amount to mediocrity at best.

 

Allow this use of the 1901 epic poem by Canadian Robert W. Service.

THE QUITTER

When you're lost in the Wild, and you're scared as a child,
And Death looks you bang in the eye,
And you're sore as a boil, it’s according to Hoyle
To **** your revolver and . . . die.
But the Code of a Man says: "Fight all you can,"
And self-dissolution is barred.
In hunger and woe, oh, it’s easy to blow . . .
It’s the hell-served-for-breakfast that’s hard.


"You're sick of the game!" Well, now that’s a shame.
You're young and you're brave and you're bright.
"You've had a raw deal!" I know — but don't squeal,
Buck up, do your damnedest, and fight.
It’s the plugging away that will win you the day,
So don't be a piker, old pard!
Just draw on your grit, it’s so easy to quit.
It’s the keeping-your chin-up that’s hard.


It’s easy to cry that you're beaten — and die;
It’s easy to crawfish and crawl;
But to fight and to fight when hope’s out of sight —
Why that’s the best game of them all!
And though you come out of each gruelling bout,
All broken and battered and scarred,
Just have one more try — it’s dead easy to die,
It’s the keeping-on-living that’s hard.

Well, really they are about taking money. I was being nice.

 

Don't waste your your time trying to explain the history of Southern racism, slavery, the Civil War, reconstruction, or Jim Crow using logic, truth, or facts with right wing extremists, Trump Party members, or your run of the mill Southern yahoo. They will not believe facts, not follow logic, and deny what is plainly recorded in history.

Instead use your time wisely and productively by finding a chipmunk butterfly or squirrel and explain the theory of relativity to it.
