With that in mind though, what do we do about the civil rights act and LBJ. Should it at least be taught in school of his intentions as a Democrat president?

Actually at first you were skeptical there was proof of their intention to the point where I had to remind you three times and post the article…

And what about all the Jim Crow laws that were done at that time where they didn’t say they were doing it to stop black people but it’s obvious that was their intent? I just want to illustrate how tenuous your method is, all it would take for you to defend this law and claim it isn’t racist is if that guy had not said that was his intent, even if it was. Then there would be no definitive proof of racist intent even though it would be exceedingly obvious to all.

From what I can find, the Live Oak Cemetery has been owned by the city of Selma since 1877.

Yes...if the two men were friendly or acquaintances and having a civil discussion about the word, that conversation should be benevolent. Given the guys reaction, it didn't seem to be a matter of fact usage.

At the bottom of this article, it says it's private property. If it's public property, i have no issue with it being removed. If it's private, that's different.

Great!

Now there's just the little part where you didn't say anything about private property.

Some people are just used to running their mouth with no consequences until someone teaches them a strong lesson or two.

Why do you think you get to speak for all black men? Some, maybe most, might take issue with it. Some wouldn't.

I’m not speaking for all black men. I’m talking about that one. But the Bolded is really the point here: while some wouldn’t take issue with it, you are drastically underestimating the amount that would. And that isn’t me speaking for them, that’s them saying so, through almost every poll ever on the subject.

In speaking for that one black man, you assume you know his thoughts and feelings on the topic. You also assume to know the level of intensity involved in the conversation. Obviously, this is just my opinion, but it seems as though the man or someone called the black man a ******, and the white man tried to justify it by saying what he said. It didn't seem to be a civil discourse leading up to it.

I assume, just as you do. Maybe you’re right, maybe I am. Statistically I am WAY more likely to be right.

And that’s my point.
