    everyone - just relax. this has nothing to do with busing. in the highly unlikely event this bimbo ever makes it to the white house, she'll have more on her plate than trying to reinstate the failed experiment of school busing. her comments have less to do with what she claims to be talking about than with courting the "i hate whitey" vote. after wading through the transcripts of the debate, i've found that each of the contenders, to varying degrees, believe that the anti-white folks vote will get them into the oval office.

    Doctors tell us that sitting for long periods of time is bad for your health; so making children sit on long bus rides is probably not good for them. Don't we already have a problem with childhood obesity?

    Oh, sure, the South really gave in to give up their Jim Crow laws. I was born long before that happened and know better. What about Wallace, did he give in? What about the Dixiecrats and Nixon's Southern Strategy, where he thru the Blacks under the bus to go after the bigots in the South. That's the Republican Party in the South today and you should know it

    The fact is it was President Johnson who spearheaded civil rights after Kennedy was assassinated. It was mostly the southern Democrats who supported Jim Crow and now they are mostly Republicans. You only bring this history up to deceive, because you know people are ignorant of history and most haven't lived long enough to know better. Now is now and in the South, by far, most of the old Democrats have been Republicans since the Republicans supported the racists long ago.

    The Republicans like tRump only gave a damn about themselves as a political party throughout the ages. They were good at hiding it, but it's always been giving the task master what he wants to them. It's been that way since the Civil War, which started as soon as a Republican became President. I don't think Lincoln was corrupt, but his party was obviously corrupt after his death. They wanted to make a profit off of the war and had the opportunity to do so.

    "Major Alvan Earle Bovay (July 12, 1818 – January 13, 1903) was a founder of the United States Republican Party.[1][2]"

    "Bovay denounced the Republican Party in 1874—just as he had condemned his own Whig party and started the Republican party twenty years earlier—declaring: "The mission of the Republican party had ended with the overthrow of slavery and the reconstruction of the old slave states on a free basis... Its place should be taken by a new party with prohibition as its central idea." He became chairman of the first state central committee of the Prohibition party of Wisconsin."

    Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvan_E._Bovay

    Great, now the ****ing idiot wanted to take away my booze. Give me a break. I haven't been born yet and prohibition is a bad word in these times. He should have been more PC about that.

    Yes the newer generations who grew up with Jim Crowe laws like myself and rejected them and I know better.

    What about the Dixiecrats, in 1948 they formed ran for the Presidency, lost and went back into the open welcome arms of the Democrat party were reelected as Democrats and served in high positions as Democrats.
    Nixon's Southern Strategy was to attract those conservatives who reject segregation.

    Nixon’s ‘Southern Strategy’ and the Liberals’ Big Lie

    "And Nixon?

    In 1956, as vice president, Nixon went to Harlem to declare, “America can’t afford the cost of segregation.” The following year, Nixon got a personal letter from Dr. King thanking him for helping to persuade the Senate to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

    Nixon supported the civil rights acts of 1964, 1965 and 1968.

    In the 1966 campaign, as related in my new book “The Greatest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose From Defeat to Create the New Majority,” out July 8, Nixon blasted Dixiecrats “seeking to squeeze the last ounces of political juice out of the rotting fruit of racial injustice.”

    Nixon called out segregationist candidates in ’66 and called on LBJ, Hubert Humphrey and Bobby Kennedy to join him in repudiating them. None did. Hubert, an arm around Lester Maddox, called him a “good Democrat.” And so were they all — good Democrats.

    While Adlai chose Sparkman, Nixon chose Spiro Agnew, the first governor south of the Mason Dixon Line to enact an open-housing law.

    In Nixon’s presidency, the civil rights enforcement budget rose 800 percent. Record numbers of blacks were appointed to federal office. An Office of Minority Business Enterprise was created. SBA loans to minorities soared 1,000 percent. Aid to black colleges doubled.

    Nixon won the South not because he agreed with them on civil rights — he never did — but because he shared the patriotic values of the South and its antipathy to liberal hypocrisy.

    When Johnson left office, 10 percent of Southern schools were desegregated. When Nixon left, the figure was 70 percent.

    Richard Nixon desegregated the Southern schools, something you won’t learn in today’s public schools.

    For history is a pack of lies agreed upon."

    Johnson got on board with the Republicans because he saw it was a lost cause and the Democrat Southern Strategy was to fool and payoff the blacks they had for 100 years in order to get their votes. And it has been a disaster.

    They were the party that stood up for civil rights but actually passed civil rights legislation only to have the Democrats repeal it, they were the party that passed women's sufferage which was opposed by the Democrats.

    There is no sense copying your post for a reply, but facts are facts.

    There is no lie about a Nixon Southern Strategy. Nixon gets the credit, but Goldwater was heavy into it. Nixon lost the Presidency and remained with the Republicans to guide strategy and it's obvious the strategy was to switch the South from it's support of the Democrats to supporting the Republican Party. That's why it happened. There was talk of those Democrats going it alone as Dixiecrats, but that didn't materialize. Wallace being shot had a lot to do with it. One thing for sure, up until now, the Republicans have benefited from their Southern Strategy.
