Thoughts On The Rebel Flag

[S8ET6]

 

Funny, if you think desegregation was completed in the 60's then you clearly don't understand how it rolled out across the public school systems in the South and in the North. The de facto segregation that was in place in the North was overcome through mandatory busing in many cities. Go look up the Delaware decisions to desegregate the Wilmington school district that happened in 1976.  We moved from Tennessee when I was in third grade and just in time for my older siblings to experience the race riots in the middle and high schools and for me to climb on a bus to ride it down to the inner city schools.  In second grade I had 12 kids I walked to school with from my immediate neighborhood.  After the ruling of Evans v. Buchanan there were three of us walking to school when they started busing city (i.e. black) kids to our school in the suburbs because the other parents put their kids in private schools.  My parents asked me if I wanted to attend with my friends and I told them it didn't seem to make sense for them to pay additional money for me to attend a different school when our tax dollars already provided a good public education.  From 4th-6th we rode the bus into the city. Middle School and High School we moved back into the suburbs.

And it wasn't just in Delaware, it happened in Nashville, TN, Boston, MA, Pasadena, CA and other cities across the country.

Yes I did.  We ran that kind of household.  I'll give you my mother's phone number and you can ask her exactly how that conversation went.  We talked about politics and where our tax dollars went nightly at the dinner table.  So I was a fairly opinionated 8 year old.  As if that should surprise you or anyone else on this forum.

Ok. I'll take your word for it....

I just find it somewhat humorous that you were participating in political discourse in the 2nd grade while I was still drinking Tang and expecting my PF Flyers to make me run faster and jump higher.

I guess that I wasted my youth. (I guess that explains why I'm such a dumbass)

I laughed Darnell.

Look, every family has their interests. My parents went to Berkeley and were very pitically active.  It basically was part of our daily lives as kids.

My parents went to Berkeley

That inadvertently answered so many questions.

You think I was inadvertent in mentioning that fact?  

Let me blow your mind then because Mom also attended BYU and Dad finished his PhD at University of Utah.  So they're hardly the Berkeley liberals you envision.

The causes they pursued were largely extremely conservative.

i don't think it actually answered many questions for you.  Berkeley was a different institution in the late 50's from what it has since become.

Your phrasing implies present time. I'm talking about ~2035-2043, or whenever the white population ceases to be the racial majority - just to be clear.

Ah ok, I'm also curious what will happen in 2060 when robot discrimination becomes rampant, and leads to the great San Francisco riot/revolution of 2063.  I should probably be nicer to my smart dishwasher and iPhone 6 now, I know they are tracking what I do to them.

I'm actually looking forward to the robot wars.

It's the flavor of the week.  Next week it will be something else.  Just another thing in the long line of distractions presented to the general public to keep them preoccupied and entertained.  I generally don't watch television unless I'm forced to (waiting room, etc) which allows me to avoid bullshit and even shittier conversations with people about what is on the shitbox TV.  

Some people get their news and views strictly from Facebook and those people are the most ignorant ever.  You can't call them retarded because that isn't fair to the real developmentally disabled people as they do their best with what they've been dealt.

I work with a handful of hardcore liberals.  I don't mind people that are passionate about what they believe in but those that are far to either side are irritating and seem to be that way only to have a group to belong to.

Whats TeeVee? Is it like raydeeoh?

I'll just quote you Matt.
