were under Washington at Valley Forge.

who just had a few and doesn't understand anything.

has to be one of the biggest WTF moments I've seen on TV in ages.

Where did that question come from? What was his point? How disingenuous can you get?

I agree with you, mdbl that Beckel sounded like a rambling alcoholic.

...is that he was trying say that the people discussing race in the modern world may not know everything about the history of race in this country. Which is often true, albeit irrelevant to what they were discussing.

or he wouldn't have said such stupid sh$%.

Rush, Beck, Prager, Gallagher, Hannity, Coulter, Ingraham, O'Reilly, and others have all chimed in on this in the past couple of weeks.

The theme is this. Every thing great about our country was created by White Christian Wealthy Males of European heritage.

The Revolutionaries were businessmen and farmers and craftsmen being strangled by regulations and taxes. It was these white guys who wrote the Declaration Of Independence, fought the War for Independence, elected the First President, the Continental Congress, set up our free market capitalist economy, wrote and ratified the Constitution based on European Christian principles, designed our social structure, and did anything else you can think of that made America great.

In fact, they have agreed on an exact number of white guys who did all this; 38,000. Any contributions from "other" cultures were incidental labor and under the direction of these Aryan founders. (and yes, I have heard them use the term Aryan)

These media conservatives are all on the same page on this. Recall the outrage when Michelle Obama referred to The White House being built by slaves. O'Reilly devoted a whole segment of his show to "debunking" this, and other right wing shows and web sites followed suit.

Trump's open rejection of PC has given these guys cover to throw out their racist sexist dog whistles and come out into the open, albeit still in what they think is cleverly couched language.

with the hack actor.

I wonder if anyone noticed that when what's his name walked through the yard, they no longer had signs that said "Colored Only" above the water fountains?

Instead the prison is filled with too many black men who were first scrutinized only because they are black, not because their behavior was different. With lots of white folk profiting from their incarceration.

It was racist then, and it's still racist.

..often, anymore.

It steps on the agenda of many, or their so called given right to ignore it.

eastwood talks about a wimpy generation. The way I see it, at least where I live in So Cal..

..these young people find it stimulating and forward thinking and fun to include the neighborhood

and beyond in their endeavors...whether work or play.

I guess it's only natural that Dirty Harry would turn into the town coot.
