    We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.”

    He’s absolutely correct on this one though.

    There still was way too much discrimination left in all sorts of laws despite of the Civil Rights Act.

      True.

      However, I believe their stated argument is that it went directly against the US Constitution and should be abolished.

      We’ve heard this before from the, ‘it’s racist to say there was and is institutional racism’ crowdthunk.

      That we’ve been ‘led astray to believe there was a holocaust’, that we’ve been taught a false and ‘fake history’ by nefarious ‘globalists’ (read: Jewish peoples).

        Don’t discuss deeper meanings of shithead-agendas with me, I just wanted to do this thing where I shock everyone by seemingly agreeing to a racist and then turn around by saying something that’s the exact opposite of what the shithead said.

        Have I called this muppet a shithead often enogh? Ah, whatever, once more can’t hurt. He’s a shithead. In my opinion that is (Shitheads tend to be letigious).
