Brown v. Board of Education - 50 years later - A short rant

[TRSimon]

Today was the 50 year anniversary of Brown v. The Board of Education and who was up in Topeka (holding hands with the Brown family) saying that America has a long way to go (racially) but, George Bush??? (Didn't his father oppose the original Civil Rights Act??, but I digress)

You know, the man who has single handedly tried to eliminate any form of affirmative action (or anything else that may help anyone else who isn't stinking filthy rich or lilly white), the man who we have to thank for the "No Rich Person Left Behind" tax cuts?? The man who sneaked a federal judge into office whose only leniency case was a cross burner?

Won't go there about the number of black folks he sent to the chair whether there was adequate evidence, or heck, even whether they were retarded or not.

And now, he cares about civil rights and justice, and how to address racism in the United States.

What is this, the twilight zone? Whoops, it's election year. Same difference.

Exactly, soror.

It's an election year. And remember, Gorghie still has to possibly appeal to social moderates who fancy themselves enlightened on racial matters, but I digress.

CTFU at No Rich Person Left Behind.

Seriously though, the state of this country is ridiculous. Georgie Boy has led a life vastly different than the bulk of the country. He is terribly out of touch. Again though, the big problem with the two party system is we only have one other viable candidate to choose from.
