North Car. GOP Governor front runner on tape saying Civil Rights Movement was a communist plot

Let the spinning begin.
Own that shit, he's the front runner.

 

Sad to see NC going down the crazy path too

Clearly the guy is a nutjob.

Just to keep thread interesting, while I have no personal knowledge or experience with this, there may be a shred of truth to parts of this

I recall reading somewhere, or maybe hearing, from a not particularly right wing source, that in some place some of the black public schools were pretty good and bad good teachers, and after integration some of those teachers lost their jobs and the school closed. I can’t say if it was the exception of the rule.

Also, just thinking out loud, for businesses, if you integrate businesses, but retain racism, and the lack of capital many blacks experienced, if black customers went to white businesses, but white customers didn’t go to black businesses, it is plausible that some black businesses could have suffered.

 

Gotta admit that him saying that black people are ruined by being around white people and getting all the white people to go berzerkoid agreeing is quite Jedi.

 

There are many people walking the earth including most in the GOP that should be raptured straight in to hell. Alas there is no such thing so they aren’t.

 

But he can't be racist, he is black.

The GOP is the party of crackpot conspiracy theories, so this definitely tracks

 

He sounds like he might want to turn back the clock and go segregation again.

 

You too? It would be in keeping.

 

You left out the part calling him crazy for wanting that. Right Rick?

 

This guy understanding on history is just as bad as NYTs 1619 project.

Is there a video where he actually list what rights he speaks of??

Only part the article quotes is school and stuff lol.

 

So does he want to be able to vote for himself and hold office? I really think there should be a treatment for these nut jobs other than electing them to office.

 

Its not hard to believe at all, this guy basically has the same politics as the NOI, except he's a Christian. I mean we have a guy that believes this black nationalist stuff sitting on the Supreme Court too.

 

I certainly have read about that happening in places like Atlanta's Sweet Auburn.

 

It's only the Republican half of NC though. As it is everywhere else.

 

Yeah, MAGA.

 

Nah, I doubt that. But here's some of what Thomas Sowell thinks about segregation.



The following is excerpted from Jason Riley’s new book, “Maverick: A Biography of Thomas Sowell,” about the iconoclastic economist. The book is available here.

The economist Thomas Sowell distinguished himself in the early 1970s as a critic of the traditional civil rights leadership, but in earlier decades he had been optimistic about the direction of the civil rights movement.

Sowell was born into an extremely poor family in rural Gastonia, North Carolina, during the Great Depression and raised in a New York City ghetto in the 1940s.

Like many other blacks of that time and in those places, his family was uneducated. The men mostly worked as laborers or in the service sector, and the women typically were domestics. Racist laws had reduced opportunities for black Americans and thus limited their upward mobility.
