Your Logic is lacking a bit.
At the time of X, The Democratic Party was more of a Racist Old Confederacy sympathizing Based party.X died in 65, just as the Voteing Rights Act was passed 1965.(((AFTER))) this, the "StatesRights" Dems became todays GOP.and the Norths repubs became todays Democrats.
Let me put it like this .......
If Dylan Roof would have  Voted in this election ,he would  have voted for trump. and if  he was alive during the 60s hed be calling for the head of X and King.
+ If king was alive he wouldnt be flying the Confederate flag again like a good number of trump supporters

i left out its not enuff to read we have to relate the past  w/whats happening in the present.
but Wow, u are on point .
 Trump is preying on the stupid/ppl who like to be entertained.That mfer went to Gettysburg and said ...."People may not know this but the republican party is the party of Lincoln".Now lincoln really wasnt perfect.But the false narrative trump is painting,"the poorly educated" will fall 4 it.Lincolns party didnt fly the Southern Flag,Trumps "StatesRights" base is.
i never heard of that book,im seeing some stuff by Greg Palast about Chris Kobach on trumps transition.Hes the creator of a Crosscheck Vote purge problem where they throw people off the ballot w/o the voter even knowing.And u r right this came after the gop lead supreme court tore apart the VRA.
+Did u hear the comment from trump where he actually((( Thanked Black people for Not Voteing)))?
Trumps people even set up fake black accounts after  facebook cracked down on fake sites.

Anti Trump Riots Spread.
Trump clearly is a racist and has SHOWN this by racist demonizing of racial minorities. And that'sot his only flaw. Also, it is a myth that people were commonly regarded as racist for disagreeing with Obama. It depended on whether opposition to Obama was based on racism. A lot of ANTI-RACIST people had sharp differences with Barack Obama. On the other hand, Trump is appointing racists to posts in is cabinet. And his racist campaign has energized racists all over America. There have been a rash of racist incidents against Latinos, Blacks and Muslims (who are often racialized even though Islam is a religion). Your analogy doesn't work. Or is at least isn't plausible to honest and rational people in touch with the real world.  (Thursday | post #418)


Anti Trump Riots Spread.
Only problem is that my statements are factually correct. White supremacists and Nazis are not galvanizing behind Trump for no reason. And his appointment of white supremacist inclined Bannon is no coincidence. The facts are as I stated them. Of course, you operate by a different "logic": "My mind is made up, don't confuse me with the facts". Typical right wing obtuseness.  (Tuesday Nov 15 | post #364)

Anti Trump Riots Spread.
Obama was not a Fascist and racist hatemonger. Trump is, and has a long record of racist bigotry and misogynist disdain for women. Actually, Trump has dumb white people by the nose. He's playing your dumb a_______ and you're too retarded to know it. You voted for a billionaire fascist who will enslave you, though you are mentally at least half enslaved already And by the way, there are PROTESTS all over the country, not riots all over the country. If Trump tries to shove his white supremacist and fascist agenda down our throats there may very well be riots, or perhaps IRA style guerilla warfare.  (Tuesday Nov 15 | post #363)






Anti Trump Riots Spread.
Actually, it's people on the right who have lost their minds. The xenophobia, racism and misogyny spewed by Trump and his supporters is insanity. And all the white supremacist and alt-rights kooks are not exactly exemplars of sanity and reason.  (Tuesday Nov 15 | post #360)



Anti Trump Riots Spread.
What makes you think they're Clinton advocates? Some were for Bernie Sanders and even Jill Stein. I know for a fact that some protestors I saw here in Baltimore I met at Jill Stein events  (Tuesday Nov 15 | post #359)



Anti Trump Riots Spread.
And the  fits of the Tea Party during the Obama administration? Did those right wingers have jobs? Oh, and some of them even showed up in demonstrations with guns. Regardless of what you believe, the anti-Trump protests were mainly peaceful even though things got out of hand in Oregon. Now is the time to oppose Trumpist fascism and racism, and that's what they're doing.  (Tuesday Nov 15 | post #358)



Is America now the new Fourth Reich?
If Il Duce Don Trump isn't a Fascist already, he's leading in that direction. As an AA man I do find this alarming, and must prepare for self-defense  (Tuesday Nov 15 | post #36)


Anti Trump Riots Spread.
There are mass protests in the country, mostly peace, against fascist President-elect Il Duce Don Trump and what stands for. These are not "anti-Trump riots" as the title of this thread dishonestly says.  (Tuesday Nov 15 | post #353)



Trump does seem to be worse than GW. Bush seem to me to be simpleminded, not mean spirited. An incompetent conservative. Trump strikes me as being mean spirited and fascistic.  (Tuesday Nov 15 | post #63)


Are white liberals truly friends of black people?
Your comment suggest you've not studied the women's movement very well if this is your interpretation. The women's movement like every other liberation movement sprung up from within the aggrieved community.  (Monday Nov 14 | post #562)




It turns out that 90% of Blacks voted for Hillary, even if they had to hold their noses to oppose that fascist buffoon Il Duce Don Trump. (Hillary the pits, but most inferred that Trump's even worse). About two thirds of Latinos voted for Hillary. And Clinton actually won the popular vote, but lost the electoral college. Mainly voters had two bad choices, and they took again what they thought to be the lesser evil  (Monday Nov 14 | post #57)



Who Will They Blame When Clinton Wins?
Keep in mind the election isn't over yet  (Tuesday Nov 8 | post #28)



Are white liberals truly friends of black people?
A What Jan overlooks is that Malcolm X also regarded conservatives and right wingers as the enemy. He even pondered forming a Black guerilla unit to deal with the extreme right who were lynching us, and bombing our homes and churches. When asked whether ANY white man would be allowed in his Organization of Afro-American Unity, he suggested John Brown if any like him are around. But John Brown was a REVOLUTIONARY. Not a liberal or conservative. REVOLUTIONARY. If you want to tell a story be sure to tell it fully.  (Tuesday Nov 1 | post #266)



49er QB Colin Kaepernick is WAKING UP
What makes you a fool as well as a bigot is that you are not even aware of the numerous critiques o those stats which you think to be inscrutable facts. But you never were much good at thinking, were you? Strange that when you racists look up these "facts" and stats you seem never to notice critiques which indicate that the data is highly questionable. You mainly cherry pick facts or alleged facts which reinforce your racist prejudices. Better "political correctness" than political stupidity  (Tuesday Nov 1 | post #387)

KKK have always had many female members. Man, what have you been smoking.

 Most Black will vote for Clinton not because thinks she's so great, but because Il Duce Don is much worst. Clinton is a centrist opportunist, but Il Duce Don Trump is a scary Fascist buffoon and demogague

Recently, I discovered FROM BLACK LIVES MATTER TO BLACK LIBERATION by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor. A very good read.

I must look for that thread on the original Black Panther Party. As brother Marshall Eddy Conway reminds me, this month--October 15 to be exact--is the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Black Panther Party. I'm working with a group of young people here in Baltimore who are rediscovering the legacy of the Panthers. (If you're ever in Baltimore, Red Emma's Café/Bookstore has many books on the Panthers and other left tendencies and ideas). One of the young brothers I'm trying to work with was involved in the April 2015 uprising. I won't mention names, of course. Yeah, it isn't easy to disguise who you are even with a new name once your style of thinking and writing becomes well known. That's why it didn't take me long to figure out you were not the real Frenchman. Your styles of thinking (though both "left") and writing are simply too different. That's also why I thought it so laughably ridiculous when some people surmised that I must be Attai. Have those persons NO capacity for discernment? LOL!

Humans are capable of being violent and also of being peaceful. By the way, I think I know who you posted this to. Michel (which is masculine, unlike MicheLLe) is not a female, nor is he French. I was wondering at first if he wasn't a French person from AA Forum whom I met once. But his posts, the shape of his logic marked by a social scientific education (Anthropology), is actually the inveterate enemy of a certain French person who occasionally posts here. Michel, is very American--of left persuasion. Are you really Polish as your avatar suggests? With regard to feminism, there are many different kinds of it. Insofar as feminism advocates for the end of patriarchy and the full emancipation of women, I find nothing objectionable about it. However, some forms of feminism has shown tendencies towards racism and elite class prejudice. Black feminists in the USA like bell hooks and Angela Y. Davis (in WOMEN: RACE AND CLASS) have themselves critiqued these tendencies.

Natural law theory has a much older lineage than the thought of Thomas Aquinas. Natural law theory has a much older lineage than the thought of Aquinas. And modern thinkers reworked natural law ideas into a different synthesis than what Aquinas offered. Trust me on this: Aquinas would not likely defend Locke, Voltaire or myself. He wouldn't read natural law in the same way as did the men of the Enlightenment.
