I guess I don't think it's fair to say that LBJ got the civil rights act through entirely out of self interest, considering the political price he paid. I wouldn't dispute the general idea that black activism was primarily responsible for civil rights though.

Except most whites are actually not appalled by the thought of making blacks subservient at all, sadly. Racism is still the most important constituent fact of this country. You can't begin to understand America without understanding racism. Just look how insane half the country has gone as a result of Obama's election. Those people aren't reacting to Obama as a politician; they're reacting to the fact that his election seemed (and mostly only seemed) to destabilize the established racial hierarchy.

Omi-Polari posted:Yeah that's certainly true in part but also partly non-falsifiable. A big chunk of them would have gone insane if Obama was white. Look at the stuff they regularly say about Hillary Clinton, for example. So how much of this insanity is exclusive to Obama and how much of it is not? Well, some of it clearly is. But it's difficult to tell and you also show that: "his election seemed," "mostly only seemed." So it appears that way, it seems that way, but how much of it is an appearance and how much of it is a fact? Again, some of it's a fact, other times it might just be an appearance. Yeah if only there were some white democratic presidents to form a basis for comparison...

In this thread we unironically argue with people who talk about anti- white racism.

Hey remember that time when those five innocent white guys were convicted of raping and murdering someone they didn't know on racially motivated charges and woefully insufficient evidence? And then it took decades for them to receive proper compensation because the people who had them arrested tied the whole thing up in court for years. Oh wait. Jesus gently caress Michael Bloomberg.
