If you're a WASP who longs for the days of seperate drinking fountains, you vote Republican.

Everybody else would be wise not to.

Actually, no it doesn't. Try again.
Black median household income is about 30% lower than whites, and has been for decades.

You made my point. Look how big the difference was in real income from the 40's and 50's to today. The gap was massive.

Not perfect by any means, but I'll take a 21% difference in income over a 125% difference anyday.

Great post. I have to get around to re-reading his autobiography. He was full of insights. Of course all the usual suspects will go into denial. I wonder I Malcolm would have called them 'Uncle Toms.' Probably not. He probably actually read Uncle Tom's Cabin unlike 99% of those who use that term.

But none of that has anything to do with the statement I made.

I believe this speech was made in the mid 60's when the South was majority Democrat, well before the Republican " Southern Strategy" that appealed to racism and turned the South from blue to red.

It's quite funny how conservatives claim great civil rights figures and praise what they did in the past while at the same time currently representing everything they were against. MLK and now brother Malcolm? In reality if they were alive they'll be fighting everything conservatives stand for tooth and nail...
