Politicians who change their opinions are forever flip-floppers who can't be trusted because they're just saying what they think people want to hear for their votes.

Finding somebody in the West in the late 18th century with attitudes that today we'd judge as progressively non-racist would be really hard.

Maybe you don't find perfect bastions of modernity back then but the whole idea that everyone back then were racist flies in the face of reality. There were plenty of people opposed to slavery in the days of the founding fathers, so much of the Federalist / anti Federalist divide is caught up in arguments over slavery. There have always been people who opposed that system and they were numerous enough to be heard if not numerous enough to win their way at the time. Long story short, racists back then have no more an excuse than they do now, because there were plenty of people who disagreed with them. They were not unopposed in their world view.

Criticize Clinton for looking up to Byrd, who left the Klan before she was even born, and who loudly and publicly rejected his past views? Ok.

Criticize Trump for looking up to Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, who was considered too racist to be a federal judge in the 1980s and has an iffy race record to this day? Not OK.

In 6th grade I got a Byrd teacher fired because she thought it was safe to rant about n*****rs since the gifted program just somehow didn't have any black students

Something has to give you pleasure, it's not like your candidate is getting blown out in the polls, every media source including CNN, and the zeitgeist of the public

At least 1 state, probably a lot more, used to pay black people to submit to sterilization

If this is troubling to you, I strongly recommend you never research conditions in asylums unless it's like, within the past few years and only the ones where rich crazies go

edit - without even looking it up, I'm going to guess South Carolina did this

humm, 20th century activists had some interesting things to say about Mrs. Sanger

quote:

"There is a striking kinship between our movement and Margaret Sanger’s early efforts. …Our sure beginning in struggle for equality by nonviolent direct action may not have been so resolute without the tradition established by Margaret Sanger and people like her"
