 dulios says: In Chicago in the 1970s and 1980s the head torturer was a police commander named Jon Burge. http://www.truthinjustice.org/jon-burge.htm . Let's see - that would be a Democrat sheriff in a Democrat (Daley) administration, right? lol And your point is CR? That if a democrat does it its okay. If anything dulios is showing that its wrong, NO MATTER WHO DOES IT! But victims of situational morality can only laugh as such things, I'm sure they can laugh right along with the victims. This post is not about Democrats or Republicans. It's about the ugliest sort of racism. I am no defender of the Daley administration. Daley himself was the city attorney during Burge's reign of terror and did NOTHING to halt it, despite hearing reports. Daley and Burge can share a cell in my opinion. Anyway, Burge was not the sheriff. He was a commander. And thanks, ratilfar, for the pop. I've noticed that clips about race are not the most popular. I was 14 years old and forgot I was a black boy living in racist America and heading for the devil's den of discrimination.Sad commentary. Really sad. But good clip Dulios. Thanks. Seems like today they have found a solution to Racism. Oppress everybody. I know I shouldn't forget that with Racial prejudice, when there is an increase in 'Authority' whatever manifestations of racial prejudice that already exist can increase by degree. There are few things more devastating than prejudice and injustice hidden, unspoken or denied. It's effects can have shattering consequences. The backlash can crack like a whip. @ColoradoRight - Yes. And after the 1968 Civil Rights law was passed those racist Democrats moved over to and became the backbone of the Republican Party. Yes, I know this clip isn't about Dem and Rep politics, but I had to respond. God almighty, the people of the state of Colorado have become backward thinking clowns. And after the 1968 Civil Rights law was passed those racist DemocratsThat is quite odd since a majority of Republicans voted for Johnson's Bill and a majority of Dems did not. Not to mention it was Republicans that fought segregation. Also, it is Republicans that fight the Socialist policies the entrap a large proportion minorities in their current slavery of government dependence. That is quite odd since a majority of Republicans voted for Johnson's Bill and a majority of Dems did not.Clarification: A majority of those who supported the bill were Republicans. A majority of those that did not support the bill were Democrats. Breakdown of the vote for the 1968 Civil Rights Act, courtesy of Wikipedia: Vote statistics (Senate): * Passed 71-20 * Democrats: 42-17 (71.2% For, 28.8% Against) * Republicans: 29-3 (90.6% For, 9.4% Against) House: * Passed 250-172 * Democrats: 150-88 (63% For, 37% Against) * Republicans: 100-84 (54.3% For, 45.6% Against) A majority of those who supported the bill were Republicans.Wrong. In the Senate, 42 of the 71 CFA supporters (59%) were Democrats. In the House, 150 out of the 250 CFA supporters (60%) were Democrats. But as I point out below, this is meaningless, because the Democrats were the majority in both chambers. A major... It was also before the Dixiecrats went over the fence to the Republicans under Nixon's Southern Strategy. I think a break down of votes per state would help here. Thank you jklugman. Yes, thankyou, JK. Not only do you prove my comment, you give an excellent example of how you spin them to fit your purposes. You are right, the Dems had much larger percentages. You would think that Republicans would not have had to take the lead on this issue and carry the water for the administration of an opposing party. I can really see that happening today. Also, If you read any Bioraphy of LBJ you will see the struggle was persuading his party to support the bill. The votes that did come along from Dems were from arm-twisting and deal-making, some were even afterthoughts when passage was eminent. National Black Republican Association: It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S's: Slavery, Secession, S... |
