Race Baiter John Lewis Kicks the Bucket at 80

Removing the Confederate monuments/statues shows that traitors to the USA shouldn't be honored.
It isn't about concealing the history. The history is in the books for all to see.

 

Lewis said that he was met with racists slurs when Pelosi marched a DP House contingent through a large group of "Tea Party" protestors.
The event was well documented with video from every angle. No racist slurs were hurled at the Representatives.
IMO, Lewis believed the protestors were dangerous white racists and made a mistake because his white "liberal" "friends" insisted that racist slurs were shouted.
The white DP Representatives were all liars trying to provoke racial violence.

 

Is Planned Parenthood some kind of sacred church of white liberal racism?
A sanctuary for genocide and ethnic cleansing?

I would refuse to be Dictator for a second let alone a day.

 

That's your opinion if you want to make excuses for the lying POS racist. It is what it is and here's a link:

https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/article24577300.html

"Demonstrators outside the U.S. Capitol, angry over the proposed health care bill, shouted "******" Saturday at U.S. Rep. John Lewis, a Georgia congressman and civil rights icon who was nearly beaten to death during an Alabama march in the 1960s.

The protesters also shouted obscenities at other members of the Congressional Black Caucus, lawmakers said.

"They were shouting, sort of harassing," Lewis said. "But, it's okay, I've faced this before. It reminded me of the 60s. It was a lot of downright hate and anger and people being downright mean.""

 

That seems very unlikely, but I am sure Lewis was far from perfect.
He was, after all, a professional politician - and a Democrat.

 

Lewis was confronted by white protestors shouting at him. His "friends" insisted they were racists shouting racist slurs. IMO, justifiable human fear filled in the blanks.
The last time a crowd of white people shouted at him he ended up in the hospital with a fractured skull. I think he made a mistake. I could be wrong about that.
OTOH, Pelosi ad the rest of her sly white racist colleagues were exposed as intentional liars.

 

At no time is it justifiable to 'fill in the blanks' and claim an entire group of people called him a n-word. Once the lie was exposed, did that sorry POS come out and correct the record? Of course not.

Did this POS racist correct the record? Of course not.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., said he was a few yards behind Lewis and distinctly heard "******." (n-word)

"It was a chorus," Cleaver said. "In a way, I feel sorry for those people who are doing this nasty stuff - they're being whipped up. I decided I wouldn't be angry with any of them."

Trash, the both of them.

 

Mostly in the south. Not all.

They need to be taken down. No need to keep idolizing traitors to the USA.
Monuments are meant to idolize. Of course it's meant to keep racism alive.

Have you heard of a person named Hitler? Was a terrible person. No statues of him are there to idolize. Yet many millions know of his atrocities.
So, don't throw out the RW lie that slavery will be forgotten because the statues are taken down.

We had a f'n civil war about it. You think the war will be forgotten as long as there is a USA? I bet you don't.

But if you want to add those horrible acts of treason, slavery, and racism to all the statues. I could buy that.
But that isn't being discussed right now. But if those are added, they should also have their pardon's stripped.

History should not look kindly at those racist traitors that started a war against the USA so they could continue to own black people.
Take them down or make it known how despicable they were as humans.

 

He walked along side MLK, no doubt?
Or he became a congressperson.

Any way, here is all the bad stuff he did.

John Robert Lewis (February 21, 1940 – July 17, 2020) was an American politician and civil-rights leader who served in the United States House of Representatives for Georgia's 5th congressional district from 1987 until his death in 2020. Lewis served as the chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) from 1963 to 1966.

Lewis was one of the "Big Six" leaders of groups who organized the 1963 March on Washington. He fulfilled many key roles in the civil rights movement and its actions to end legalized racial segregation in the United States. In 1965, Lewis led the Selma to Montgomery marches across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. In an incident which became known as Bloody Sunday, armed Alabama police attacked unarmed civil rights demonstrators, including Lewis, Hosea Williams, and Amelia Boynton.

A member of the Democratic Party, Lewis was first elected to Congress in 1986 and served for 17 terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. Due to his length of service, he became the dean of the Georgia congressional delegation. The district he represented includes the northern three-quarters of Atlanta.

He was a leader of the Democratic Party in the U.S. House of Representatives, serving from 1991 as a Chief Deputy Whip and from 2003 as Senior Chief Deputy Whip. Lewis received many honorary degrees and awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Was Cleaver's skull ever bashed in by a racist white mob?

 

The Democratic Party should have been taken down for its treason and racism during Reconstruction.
Since it still exists its monuments should remain in place - with accurate labelling.

The DP has never been an anti-racist party. The monuments are being taken down to whitewash the inconvenient truth about the DP.

 

Lewis and I disagreed going all the way back to when I was a kid and he supported busing, affirmative action, racial quotas, and reverse discrimination (and that was ultimately found to be unconstitutional.) Here is how whites felt about it back in those days:

 

Do you always answer questions with a question?

 

Do you know how a lot of booklets and so forth are never copyrighted and published, but distributed by concerned parties? I'd like to quote from one:

"We (communists) must realize that our party's most powerful weapon is racial tension. By pounding into the consciousness of the dark races that for centuries they have been oppressed by the whites, we can mold them to the program of the Communist Party. In America we will aim for subtle victory. While inflaming the Negro minority against Israel Cohen 15 the whites, we will endeavor to instill in the whites a guilt complex for their exploitation of the Negroes. We will aid the Negroes to rise in prominence in every walk of life, in the professions and in the world of sports and entertainment. With this prestige, the Negroes will be able to intermarry with the whites and begin a process which will deliver America to our cause." During the debate on a civil-rights bill in Congress in June 1957, Mississippi Congressman Thomas G. Abernathy read the above statement, taken from a book entitled A Racial Program for the Twentieth Century.

Revisionist historians will say that no communist party existed in when Cohen penned those words. They will even tell you that no Israel Cohen lived in Britain at the time. I look at the words and watch history unfold. Communism had to start somewhere. And who said that Cohen was a resident of Britain when he distributed the book? There are hundreds of thousands of booklets, pamphlets, etc. being distributed in America today by foreign Muslims. The words ring true today as the Democrats are comfortable today with being called "Democratic Socialists" (which is commie lite.)

John Lewis was trained by Bayard Rustin back in the mid to late 1950s. Rustin, a communist, criminal and agitator. I'd like to quote an excerpt from an article for you:

"...another black leader. Rep. Adam Clayton Powell Jr. of New York, angry that Rustin and King were planning a march outside the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles, warned King that if he did not drop Rustin, Powell would tell the press King and Rustin were gay lovers. Regardless of the fact that Powell had concocted the charge for his own malicious reasons, King, in one of his weaker moments, called off the march and put distance between himself and Rustin, who reluctantly resigned from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which was led by King. For that King “lost much moral credit … in the eyes of the young,” the writer James Baldwin wrote in Harper’s magazine. Fortunately for us, Rustin put the movement ahead of this vicious personal slight."

https://www.pbs.org/wnet/african-am...g-facts/who-designed-the-march-on-washington/

Another article had this to say about Rustin:

"In 1937, Rustin went to City College of New York, where he joined the Young Communist League because he was attracted to the league’s progressive views on racial issues. ...After leaving the group, Rustin shifted his attention to socialism, joining the Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) in 1941. ...In 1953, after more than 10 years and numerous arrests while working with FOR, Rustin was fired from his position as secretary for student and general affairs when he was arrested in Pasadena, California, for having sex with another man in a parked car and charged with “sex perversion.”

https://www.history.com/news/bayard-rustin-march-on-washington-openly-gay-mlk

So, here you have Bayard Rustin, a communist / socialist agitator as being one of the leading figures in the founding of the SCLC and teacher of John Lewis. According to Wikipedia:

"On January 10, 1957, following the Montgomery Bus Boycott victory and consultations with Bayard Rustin, Ella Baker, and others, Martin Luther King Jr. invited about 60 black ministers and leaders to Ebenezer Church in Atlanta. Prior to this, Rustin, in New York City, conceived the idea of initiating such an effort and first sought C. K. Steele to make the call and take the lead role. Steele declined, but told Rustin he would be glad to work right beside him if he sought King in Montgomery for the role. Their goal was to form an organization to coordinate and support nonviolent direct action as a method of desegregating bus systems across the South. In addition to King, Rustin, Baker, and Steele, Fred Shuttlesworth of Birmingham, Joseph Lowery of Mobile, and Ralph Abernathy of Montgomery, all played key roles in this meeting.[2]

On February 15, a follow-up meeting was held in New Orleans. Out of these two meetings came a new organization with King as its president. Initially called the "Negro Leaders Conference on Nonviolent Integration," then "Southern Negro Leaders Conference," the group eventually chose "Southern Christian Leadership Conference" (SCLC) as its name, and expanded its focus beyond buses to ending all forms of segregation..."

Bottom line: Slobbering John was a seditionist and a traitor. He was trained by and he employed tactics taught to him by a man of the most questionable character for the purpose of subverting our Republic. He, nor those like him will EVER be satisfied with their version of racial equality. In their utopia, whites are NOT allowed to have their own opinions; they will have NO Freedom of Association; the goal of John Lewis was the complete and total annihilation of whites.

 

So you'd be good if I went to the state capitol in Georgia and defaced the monuments and pictures of Martin Luther King, Jr.?

 

Serious informed revolutionary Communists are anti-capitalists, and starting with the Wilson administration anti-American.
Communists have always thought that black Americans, because of the oppressive nature of racial segregation and systemic institutional racism, could be recruited to serve as a revolutionary vanguard for a revolt of the working class against the capitalist stronghold that is the USA. The plan is not to exterminate the white race.
The plan is to sacrifice black Americans to achieve the overthrow of the USG. The progressive Left has never displayed the slightest real affection or concern for any racial minority. A few Communists have felt compelled to admit the obvious. For instance:

"For many years I have lived in dread of having to answer the Question. Curiously, no one has asked it. ...The Question: What did you know and when did you know it? ...I remained a supporter of the international movement and of the Soviet Union until there was nothing left to support. Now, as everyone knows, in a noble effort to liberate the human race we broke all records for mass slaughter, piling up tens of millions of corpses in less than three quarters of a century. "

"Those who are big on multiculturalism might note that the great majority of our victims were nonwhite. ...Reflecting on moral responsibility. I have referred to 'we'. For it has never occurred to me that the moral responsibility falls much less heavily on those of us on the American left than it fell on Comrade Stalin and those who replicated his feats in one country after another. "

"....And I am afraid that some of the responsibility falls on the 'democratic socialists,' 'radical democrats', and other left wingers who endlessly denounce Stalinism but could usually be counted on to support - 'critically,' of course - the essentials of our political line on world and national affairs." Eugene D. Genovese, "The Crimes of Communism: What did you know, and when did you know it?" "Dissent" Summer, 1994.

It is fortunate that few black Americans, so far, have fallen for sly left wing white racist shuck and jive.
BLM is just the latest attempt to talk ethnic minorities to charge right over Buffalo Drop - for the cause - of course.

 

I don't think Lewis would know a snake in the grass if it jumped up and bit him on the butt.

 

Read my post again.
"I would refuse to be Dictator for a second let alone a day." Ddy

 

Why didn't they call Trump racist before now?

 

By most accounts John Lewis was a pretty good guy.

"Before we went on any protest, whether it was sit-ins or the freedom rides or any march, we prepared ourselves, and we were disciplined. We were committed to the way of peace - the way of non-violence - the way of love - the way of life as the way of living." John Lewis

Human beings will never be smart enough or ethical enough to avoid error. Read any history book for ample proof of the generic nature of human stupidity. Lewis seemed like a rather admirable combination of wisdom and folly - far better than the average DP politician or John Kasich.

 

Yeah, no doubt the fake news does tend to brainwash people. I don't give a **** about 'accounts', I only need to hear the garbage he spewed straight from his POS mouth.

 

I'm not sure I understand your post, but whites only make up 1 in 13 of the world's population. For us to be the only oppressors and to have held that many people throughout history could only happen... but back the mantra "systemic racism." Maybe we're ignoring some very important facts.

 

Read it. It was a deflection, but it is okay.

 

This is not how all whites "felt back in those days," and John Wayne was a self-described white supremacist.

 

If you choose to play semantics, you'd be right. Only the liberals and those who had been programmed, Pavlovian style, fell for the woe is me B.S. OMG, are we going to get so bogged down in semantics that we ignore reality?
