Diaries like this is one of the main reasons I don't frequent the site. Bunch of whining, kvetching, bitching, moaning dilettants that want gay marriage to be available like a side of fries at Mickey D's. If it were that easy, the black community would be sitting pretty.

Had to go there on dumbkof (daily kos)

There is a diary that has the nerve to try and attribute the passage of civil rights legislation solely to the courage and leadership of LBJ.

My response:

Sigh…

For the diarist

Tell the late Mamie Till Mobley about President Johnson's courage and leadership on civil rights. Maybe she'll show you the bloated, beaten and decomposed body of her 14 year old son while she agrees with your diary.

Tell the 4742* black folks lynched between 1865 and 1968. I'm sure their ghosts will line up to thank you for this illuminating diary. * = those that were counted

Tell the millions of black folks who died in the Middle Passage. Tell the black folks who were sold away from families, stripped of language and culture, about your diary lauding the courage of LBJ.

Tell the Little Rock 9 that Eisenhower was a failure. You know so much about it, because your little 14 or 15 year-old self was there, wondering if you would live through the day, wondering if your house would be firebombed in the night while you slept. Oh, wait…

Because, of course, centuries of documented mistreatment against black folks merely because their skin was not white, had absolutely nothing to do with a tipping point on civil rights.

The mourning of a nation that was suffering from shock and depression from viewing the murder of a charismatic US President had nothing to do with passing some of the legislation he championed to honor his memory.

It all had to do with the big white man who could get things done.

Yeah, I get it. This s*** is full of fail.

More bloggers need to speak out against this bogus boycott. Their silence is deafening.
