Glenn Beck is taking back the Civii Rights movement. Which suggests he must have had it at one time, before it got co-opted by those pushy Blacks. Now the Civil Rights movement is beck -- er, back -- where it belongs, protecting the beleaguered White majority. Glenn Beck has a dream!

Apropos BSmith, do any of the young righties have any idea of how thoroughly inequality was part of the legal system in the South, upheld as constitutional by the Supreme Court, and maintained not only by law enforcement but by white terrorists? After Plessy vs Ferguson, you couldn't invoke the constitution. It took a helluva lot more courage for MLK to march than it does for Glenn Beck.
And if they're so hell-bent on freedom, why don't the wingnuts do something about the war on drugs?
Could you please expand on your view. My current understanding is that the U.S. Constitution in it's current form should provide all the protections that any person regardless of race would need. Would you say this is an inaccurate assessment? I mean perhaps I'm a bit naive, but it seems to me we have become a nation of laws. There are so many and they are so verbose that even Congress has a difficult time even reading the laws that they pass. I see nothing in the constitution in it's current form that would deny anyone any particular rights based on race or gender.
