And isn’t it a shame that New York CIty and other meccas of the Collective are so shamefully segregated now?

You poor, moronic, lying SOS.

Um, no. Not only are markets essential for economic growth, but individual liberties are essential for people to reach their human potential. Nor do the ends justify the means, as Communism has it, as it is the means which often define the ends.

As we said, Jim Crow was *primarily* a southern phenomenon. Though there were race laws in other states, they were less intrusive overall, and were often repealed sooner than in the South.

Look up the anti-miscegenation laws, stupid.

You’re pathetic.

Sure. However, Jim Crow had an eighty year history in Louisiana before the public was sufficiently galvanized to bring about change.

Ragspierre: A MUCH larger portion of Americans were alive to see the Soviet Union’s horrors.

At least alive during the Soviet period. The worst abuses occurred in the 1930s, though political oppression continued.

Sure, but the question concerned racial animosity.

Ragspierre: Jim Crow was never limited to the South

Jim Crow was primarily a southern phenomenon.

“Jim Crow law, in U.S. history, any of the laws that enforced racial segregation in the South between the end of the formal Reconstruction period in 1877 and the beginning of a strong civil rights movement in the 1950s.”

Funny ol’ world, huh? Ya moron…

A MUCH larger portion of Americans were alive to see the Soviet Union’s horrors.

So…?!?!

And why are you so dedicated to bringing those to America?

Sure. It took a federal effort to end segregation in Louisiana, which was primarily supported by Louisiana Democrats and Dixiecrats.

Glad you agree with our statement that it should be possible to name more than just one “instance when at least one southerner was not nice to blacks.”

And it’s a damn shame you are still stuck back in the 60s, but it’s your choice. The rest of us have moved on….

Um, seriously? You do realize that Louisiana was a slave state, then a Jim Crow state, and resisted integration when so ordered by the courts.

New Orleans, 1960: “close ranks against the common enemy and fellow travelers who would force unmoral racial integration upon our children to destroy their education … and who would destroy white civilization so that in the end our nation would be easy prey to the Communist vultures.”

Landrieu’s last hope is to boost turnout among natural Democratic constituencies: blacks; young, dumb, single women; social justice warriors. She needs to remind them that only she and her Washington cocktail soirees are keeping the KKK from taking over Louisiana.

The real insult to Louisiana is that they elected this crook three times already.

She’s just giving him more ammunition. Pass the popcorn.

….meaning LA, not TX.
