From a history of intimidation to entitlement tactics (timeline of events) - C C - Nov 18, 2021 Race politics, civil rights, & LBJ's big switch from INTIMIDATION to ENTITLEMENT as the means to control minority vote (a William J. Federer chronicle?) https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Race-Politics--Civil-Rights----LBJ-s-BIG-SWITCH-in-controlling-minority-voters-from-INTIMIDATION-to-ENTITLEMENT.html?soid=1108762609255&aid=7-eOtfxe5ok - - - - - - - NOTE: With respect to the most dead-on Lyndon B. Johnson quote, which is sourced from a Ronald Kessler book, there is this Snopes entry that -- while being agnostic about that particular egregious meme -- nevertheless admits that even it would hardly be out of sync with LBJ's personality and agenda behind the public, career facade. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/lbj-voting-democratic/ RE: From a history of intimidation to entitlement tactics (timeline of events) - confused2 - Nov 20, 2021 I must admit I assumed Republicans would be the historical slave owning class - wrong! RE: From a history of intimidation to entitlement tactics (timeline of events) - Syne - Nov 20, 2021 That's what Democrat propaganda has led many people to believe. It's a big lie. RE: From a history of intimidation to entitlement tactics (timeline of events) - confused2 - Nov 21, 2021 Quote:The NRA was founded shortly after the Civil War by Union Army officers who were appalled by the lack of shooting skills among the Union soldiers during the war and determined to correct this problem by encouraging marksmanship among the general population, including former slaves in the former slave states. This made the NRA very unpopular by the Ku Klux Klan. Northern white liberals and clergy funded the NRA to purchase rifles and ammunition for the newly freed slaves under Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. The rifles were used by newly freed slaves to protect their homes and families from the lynching mobs of the KKK and Dixie-Crats.https://www.postindependent.com/opinion/letter-to-the-editor/nine-of-the-nras-first-10-presidents-fought-against-slavery/ In fairness Syne has pointed this out on this forum - but is this generally known in America? It kind'a makes sense of the way a black activist and a white militiaman might sit down together and shake hands. RE: From a history of intimidation to entitlement tactics (timeline of events) - Syne - Nov 21, 2021 Democrat propaganda, though the schools and media, have led to many Americans believing the Republicans have always been the racists. And what few actual racists currently claim to be Republican, they do so believing the democrat lies that Republicans are their natural allies. Even though the current top dog of white supremacy, Richard Spencer, endorsed Biden for president, democrat-run cities and states are the worst for blacks*, etc.. *https://www.scivillage.com/thread-11315.html |
