Favorite Sen. Robert KKK Byrd Quote

[??????????]

As much as you Republicans are complaining about Byrd, how come you don't complain about Trent "Sheets" Lott, who never did renounce his own racism?

maybe because no one really cares what he says about Strom Thurmond. Personally, I think he was right on target with his statements.

Are you serious?!

are you?

So you think the country would be better if Thurmond won his Presidential bid in 1948 & kept segregation going??

Yes, segregation came to an immediate end with Trumans re-election. ok, sure.

Yes, segregation came to an immediate end with Trumans re-election. ok, sure.

It came with an end to a concept, known as "States Rights".

No, States Rights is granted in the 10th Amendment. Glad to see you don't believe in the constitution you commie.

Well, I lost  faith in the 10th ammendment, when states like yours used to segregate people.

When you decide to actually pick up a history book you will find out that states outside the south actually did have segregation as well.

That concept isn't gone; many States' Righters today are Libertarians.  It's just the racist motivation behind States Rights that is now (for the most part) gone.  Any further discussion of this would be beating a dead horse.

And I like Byrd.  He was right about white ns.  There are plenty of them here, believe me.  (I may get boiled in hot water for that statement, but oh well.)

What's wrong w/acknowledging the fact that the states are supposed to actually have power as intended by the founders?

Did I say it did???  Thurmond ran on the SOLE PLATFORM of preserving sgregation,   That is what Lott praised, Thurmond's views on segregation.

Thats wrong of course. IF you actually listened to what he was talking about you would know he was referring to Stroms stance on national defense. Which for one, I strongly agree with.

California wasn't one of them.

Sorry to burst your bubble but IIRC California did have regulations on schooling in regards to race.

Then why didn't he bring up his Senate record??  Why did he refer to his Presidential bid in which the only platform Thurmond ran under was segregation??? 

The Democrats were still pandering to segregationists in 48. But national defense was a hot topic at that period in time and some people in the Democratic party felt that Truman was not tough enough on national defense. And yes, this was still a point in history when the Democrats actually cared about defending America, before the hippie America haters took over.

& Thurmond didn't run on National Defese he ran on SEGREGATION

That was one aspect of his campaign. But not his sole platform.

Eminmem is foul and a definately a whigger as some have described it here. To call him an artist is an insult to artists around the world.

Do you like Rap when performed by actual Blacks, Zebu?

I personally dont care as I don't listen to it. I personally don't like it but hey, you can listen to whatever nonsense you want.

I'm not a big fan, though I do enjoy a small percentage.  I was just curious if you were a rap fan who preferred black artists, or if you just didn't like Emminem.  I have to admit a few of his more comical songs are fun.

Oh, I think some of his songs are definately funny. But I rank him more with the likes of Weird Al Yankovic then say, Hank Williams or   Louis Armstrong.
