Living there was my first experience with people who could be warm and accepting on a personal level, yet hold political and social beliefs that were extremely intolerant and often bigoted.

"In the South, they don't care how close you get as long as you don't get too big.
In the North, they don't care how big you get as long as you don't get too close."

If you asked what Sanders' campaign was about and what influence it could have, this is a good answer.

Question for you political historians. What other major party candidate for the office of President can be most closely compared to tDonald?

Wendell Wilkie comes to mind. Inexperienced candidate from business background nominated during dangerous times (1940) by GOP over more Establishment figures.

Trumps spokesperson triangulates anti-immigrant racism to troll anti-black racism. Very impressive.

These illegal immigrants are moving into black communities. They're overcrowding black schools. Draining resources in black medical facilities and even in black churches. This is a problem.

I'm not sure how you respond to derp that deep, though this is a start.

The guest she was debating, Clinton supporter Bakari Sellers, called Pierson's comments "borderline asinine."

Didnt we get rid of black hospitals and schools long ago? I remember reading something about that...

Yes we did. And some would argue that, at least education wise, they have suffered for it by well meaning but patronizing educators.

Looks like Sanders is hitting it out of the park in his Hillary endorsement. Good for him, and with this goes the lest shred of hope for the Trump campaign of winning this election. Way to go Bernie. I personally wasn't sure he had it in him in all honesty, but happy to be proven wrong for once. ;)

Eight Justices in Plessy would, at least. But not one (from website, not decision itself):

It was said in argument that the statute of Louisiana does not discriminate against either race but prescribes a rule applicable alike to white and colored citizens. But this argument does not meet the difficulty. Everyone knows that the statues in question had its origin in the purpose, not so much to exclude white persons from railroad cars occupied by blacks, as to exclude colored people from coaches occupied by or assigned to white persons. Railroad corporations of Louisiana did not make discrimination among whites in the matter of accommodation for travellers. The thing to accomplish was, under the guise of giving equal accommodations for whites and blacks, to compel the latter to keep to themselves while travelling in railroad passenger coaches. No one would be so wanting in candor as to assert the contrary. The fundamental objection, therefore, to the statues is that it interferes with the personal freedom of citizens....If a white man and a black man choose to occupy the same public conveyance on a public highway, it is their right to do so, and no government, proceeding alone on grounds of race, can prevent it without infringing the personal liberty of each....

The white race deems itself to be the dominant race in this country. And so it is, in prestige, in achievements, in education, in wealth, and in power. So, I doubt not, it will continue to be for all time, if it remains true to its great heritage and holds fast to the principles of constitutional liberty. But in the view of the Constitution, in the eye of the law, there is in this country no superior, dominant, ruling class of citizens. There is no caste here. Our Constitution in color-blind and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law. The humblest is the peer of the most powerful. The law regards man as man and takes no account of his surroundings or of his color when his civil rights as guaranteed by the supreme law of the land are involved....

The arbitrary separation of citizens, on the basis of race, while they are on a public highway, is a badge of servitude wholly inconsistent with the civil freedom and the equality before the law established by the Constitution. It cannot be justified upon any legal grounds

If evils will result from the commingling of the two races upon public highways established for the benefit of all, they will infinitely less than those that will surely come from state legislation regulating the enjoyment of civil rights upon the basis of race. We boast of the freedom enjoyed by our people above all other peoples. But it is difficult to reconcile that boast with the state of the law which, practically, puts the brand of servitude and degradation upon a large class of our fellow citizens, our equals before the law. The thin disguise of "equal" accommodations for passengers in railroad coaches will not mislead anyone, nor atone for the wrong this day done....


Justice Harlan, dissenting.

It appears that perhaps Trump is doing the age old tactic of releasing names to the media in advance of his VP announcement to test the waters.

Nate Silver says if he were Trump, he would pick the best of a poor lot and ask Pence...and that if he were Pence, he would turn it down.

No one with half a brain or whoever taught a black person. Nice try though...

"Some" would? Who are those "some," and does that group include yourself?

The some would be either racists or people who forgot how bad many of the black schools were previous to Brown v. Board of Education.

And yet, taking a look at syracuse.com the other day, I saw an article talking about how the race of a teacher was important.

It begins.....

Don't be nervous if you see black helicopters circling your house today. If you live in the D.C. area it's likely to be part of an Army training exercise. Officials say Black Hawk and Bell Iroquois helicopters will fly at altitudes between 200 and 1,000 feet.

Sure it is!!! :)
