(15,882 posts)buses, and those same people, and their kids, are running the country today. And this was in Deep Dust Bowl and Depression South, where they had Franklin's picture on the wall next to Jesus. Sometimes without Jesus. He was the most important savior, and they would be Democrats until they died.
Their kids were the ones turning over the school buses, teaching their hate.

Well, maybe you are young. Otoh, I know a lot of people who have forgotten - it's a lot easier than taking responsibility. Not much has changed. Buses aren't turned over as much. Instead they just pass laws or enforce them differently so it puts black folk in prison in extraordinary numbers, compared to people who are white like they are. Then they pretend to be different.
It's more similar than I think people would like to remember.
