So Julian Bond Is Found Dead At 75...

and I don't see a weep filled tribute here? I'm shocked...thought this would be front page HROT news.
I met him in the early '70s. Very impressive guy. He did some really admirable things as a young man.

Unfortunately, he tarnished his legacy with his overtly racist and intolerant views as the head of the NAACP, during which time that hallowed institution flirted with the partisan gutter after decades of courageous, valuable work on behalf of minorities.

RIP, but no sainthood.

His legacy among whites will be that of a race baiter and agitator...not the young congressman and SNCC co founder.
 
Yeah. Stupid race baiter. Getting elected to the Georgia legislature and having to fight his way in. Wanting to be able to vote and be equal and all that other silly stuff.
I'll ask, but, I think I know the answer already, Tennessee. Is there no end to the arrows in your quiver that have some element of race in them? 50 percent of what you post could be considered race baiting. ;)

I'll wait for the GOP to start some subcommittee hearing and prove Hillary was involved.

I don't "race bait"...I speak truth...now if it comes over as race baiting I am sure you and those of your ilk perceive it that way. You should be used to race baiting by now...your fraud of a president is the master at it.

Dumbass, we're giving him all kinds of credit for his activities in the '60s and '70s.

Considering the majority on HROT are conservative, this is not surprising at all.

You shouldn't allow your overt racism to shine so brightly. It takes away from any message you may have.
You are basing your conclusion on insufficient and undocumented data Prof...not like you to state an opinion based on unproven fact...and I thought we were friends.

He's from Tennessee. What do you expect? I'm kind of impressed that he's able to operate a keyboard.
 
I remember his skit on SNL with Garrett Morris, wish we could all still laugh at stuff like that
 
I always love response that boil down to, "Look, we gave you the right to vote. Shut up already with the demands to be treated equitably in the workforce, or by the criminal justice system". Why couldn't guys like Bond just be happy with what was given to them?

Yaaawwwn...same old rhetorical line of crap. They are treated just fine...in many cases are given jobs ahead of whites. Get a new argument bud.

Complete and utter BS. The frequent posters on HROT are predominantly liberal. Prove me wrong.

I didn't say "frequent posters." I said "majority on HROT." The two statements are not interchangeable.

My statement makes no claim about frequency of posting. Save for a couple of conservatives on this board, I would agree that the posters who post the most appear to be more liberal. However, I would venture to guess that a majority of posters (regardless of frequency) are actually more conservative.

Obviously, I can't back up that claim with any hard scientific data, but using observational data I'll ask you to look at any of the various political and social polls people present. The majority of them (at least in my opinion) tend to show leanings toward the 'conservative' side of the ledger.

There a couple of libs who start a majority of the posts and an entire wolf pack of cons trying to start a pretzel factory in order to counter the threads started.
