So what exactly is your point here 93? (that is, beyond your usual sanctimonious preachy ideal on making sure that everyone is beat over the head incessantly with the histories of racism.....)

Well... this seemed somewhat newsworthy and on-topic given how many posts have been devoted to this issue?

All the posts given to examples half a fing century in the past? Not many from my recollection. How many of those have there been 93?

So in short, no point whatsoever. Thank you for clearing(?) that up for us. Just like that rationale to tagging the line about Trump (supporters, base, followers) on. No reason whatsoever. Sounds fun.

As for 'on-topic' there was the brief spurt about the twerp that went and tried to use his extensive research into the Rice yearbooks to cudgel-shame everyone, and that sub-thread seems about the only exemplar I can think of. You seemed to revel in that one as well, even when not having a clue what a 'Central Committee' was.

If instead the topic is the progs incessant usage of race at all times in any fashion, you are doing a smashing job of proving that point up. Thank you if that is the case.

I guess for you examples of racism 50+ years ago are so hot-centered you just cant resist the siren call, can you? Well to save *everyone* a lot of angst, I will agree with you. Those comments were not good. Half a century ago things were a helluva lot worse. Satisfied? Or do you still need to get your daily dosage in?

Or, if not, what is the added point here?

What do you think of LBJ calling them explicitly "n-ggers" on a daily basis? Perhaps you can go preachy-poo on that as well. I am sure the world of 50 years ago is ripe for great exemplars of that cudgel, my friend. Knock yourself out.

It seems pertinent to multiple discussions that have taken place here that the ideological Jesus of the modern GOP felt this way. Sorry you find that so outrageous. Again... maybe not clicking new posts under this thread is the way forward for you?
