If I was a black man who owned a restaurant and I did not want to serve white people, Maddox would support me. We need more people like him in govt these days.

Let's remember Maddox believed segregation was justified in Scripture and that integration was "ungodly, un-Christian and un-American." When he ran for Governor of Georgia in 1966 he told the NY Times his segregationist views stemmed from "a love for my people, because I believe it to be Christian and . . . American." (all documented in his NY Times Obit available online).

[@MrAudienceMember2662015]

+Jonathan Kuperberg I don't recall any verses in scripture stating anything about "making sure your daughters taking one of your own for wives, etc." Are you sure you have the right book?

[@liecrusher9668]

+Linda Zambanini The burden would then be on Maddox, to present the scripture which called for segregation, especially as he saw it. As I wrote in another section, more and more black people I come across, acknowledge that segregation was the worst thing to happen to us, as we lost key blocks of economy, and socially, as we began to "integrate" into our own lives, some of the most decadent aspects of white culture.

[@MrAudienceMember2662015]

Liecrusher _...segregation was the worst thing to happen to us..._ That's why government went with desegregation, I guess.

[@liecrusher9668]

+MrAudienceMember Much of the motivation of the desegregation movement centered around a false perception that white schools were better than black schools. That somehow, we were going to "make it" by going to white schools. Orthodox Jews, interested in preserving their own culture, never fell for such foolishness, and never tried to force themselves to go to school with white, non Jews. Good for them. I also can tell you, that contrary to popular belief, not all black people were happy about Brown v. Board of Education, as there where those who rebelled, by forming independent Church schools. My comments on the topic though, stem more from a retrospective that I've heard expressed by elder black people, who were there during those days, and have had a chance to see the overall results to black people in general.

Black people, with a inferiority complex, felt and feel the need to be accepted by whites in every social aspect, when we should have worked harder to improve our restaurants. In fact, once whites realized that we cooked a whole lot better than they did, THEY'D be the ones protesting for integration.

+Liecrusher Have you heard about the clerk in Kentucky who is discriminating based on religion? She's in jail now for refusing to obey the law, that law about not discriminating based on color, creed, gender, religion, etc. It's the same law this Maddox guy is bitching about.

[@liecrusher9668]

+MrAudienceMember I knew sooner or later, a left-winger should show his/her "tolerance". Isn't that you all claim to desire? Suddenly, you know law? When SCOTUS ruled in favor of the Hobby Lobby, the dems vowed to pass legislation to try to ignore it. And if we want to use the SCOTUS issue, once upon a time, it ruled against Dred Scott. So what? Were black people supposed to accept that we had no rights a white man was bound to respect? I stand behind this heroine, 1000%. She has more integrity on her toenail, than Obama has in his entire, lying body. You mention the stipulation for Kentucky? When states voted to aver GOD's ruling that marriage is between man and woman,you libs couldn't accept that. NOTE the hypocrisy. When SCOTUS ruled in favor of Bush, you call cried "let the people decide". When they DO decide for marriage, you all have hissy fits. Anyways, I stand by my position, that Kim Davis stands tall, against sodomy. May God Bless her and create ease for her life.

[@MrAudienceMember2662015]

Liecrusher When states legislated against marriage equality, it was fought in the courts and we prevailed. Legally. When SCOTUS ruled in favor of Bush, it was done in court, legally, although the reasoning - time constraint on recounting the votes in Florida - sucked. As a result, look what Bush did. Wars. Debt. Economy in ruins. The Fourteenth Amendment (Amendment XIV) to the United States Constitution was adopted on July 9, 1868. The Citizenship Clause of this Act provides a broad definition of citizenship, overruling the Supreme Court's decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857). The Hobby Lobby decision was an insult to women. It will likely be addressed as soon as sane people are elected and introduce the necessary legislation to change it. This bitch and her ilk continue to scream about religious freedom in this country all the while ignoring the fact that they are discriminating against all other religions by supporting this bitch. You're welcome to stand behind or beside her. I suggest not standing in front of her when it's meal time at the jail.

[@MrAudienceMember2662015]

Liecrusher Did you not notice that Hobby Lobby has no problem covering medications for men with ED? Don't tell me that's biblical. If he can't get it up, god's telling him something. Kim is forcing her fucking dumbass religion on everybody that wants a marriage license, not just same sex couples, you idiot. It is highly unlikely that Congress will override marriage equality. The boosts to the economies where gays are getting married is starting to be felt. Remember, many of them have money to spend and beautiful weddings are one of those things gays are good at. But, be a bigoted asshole all you want. Your kind is a dying breed, thankfully. If you could hurry that up, that would be great.

[@liecrusher9668]

+MrAudienceMember If a man who has a wife, has ED, it's an act of good, to cover his medications., though personally, I'd prefer that he seek alternative means. Unmarried women, who seem to be the subject of the Hobby Lobby issue, have no NEED to have the employer pay for their fornication. If anything, let her boyfriend foot the bill. The bulk, at least in money power, of the homosexual cabal, are white males, so it stands to reason that they'd have the bulk of the money. As far as overall economies are concerned, just having lavish weddings, is of no real consequence to the economies, overall. Now, evil homo, you call for my death? Well, just wait and see, you lives, who God is with. As a rule, the white population is dying out, anyway, with homosexuality as a factor. It's only sad that this deception has crept into the black community, so unfortunately, many of us will go down with them. Scripture tells us that these days, like unto Sodom and Gomorrah, would come, and today, led by the Chief Sodomite Obama, we see this. And as far as her imposing upon "everyone', I don't know where that's coming from. She does not want her name to be soiled, debased, having it on a license of legalized sodomy. This makes her the most significant person of the 21st century, thus far, bar none. May God keep her and provide her and her family with ease, even so, unto the bowels of [modern day] Sodom and Gomorrah. Don't like what I say?

​@Mikel SHIMA No. I look at history as the history of humanity which is why it isn't entirely easy to point out what racism is. If you want it easier: it's discrimination. The goddamn *law at that time* didn't allow this man to discriminate against *human beings* based on their skin color, but he insisted on doing so which is why this man closed his own business. Don't be so presumptuous to assume you know what I know (or what I don't know). Stick to the damn point. "Most of blacks" at the time weren't granted equal treatment under the law in spite of the law existing in their favor anyway. They were also outright discriminated against because of, wait for it...racism. You can attempt to justify being a dick to someone because of the color of their skin any way you'd like, but when you're attempting to oppose reality, try to do so with facts. Also, you're probably not American or haven't lived in America enough to know, (simply based on how you write in English) but we're pretty damn integrated nowadays in spite of whatever media outlet is informing. And to the "positive results of every character", I'm not arguing that this man was 100% shit of a human being. I'm saying his actions were discriminatory and racist because they were and if you literally google his speeches you can see that Humans are complicated, of course, but don't make excuses for someone's shitty actions.

You're kind of on your way to an argument, but so far you've basically just found another way to say you don't like that I pointed out how much Paul's "property rights" "states rights" "ownership" "business over people" philosophy is right in line with segregationists like Maddox. Not to mention Ron Paul published and profited from racist, conspiracy theory newsletters, just like Maddox profited from racism.

[@tertommy]

Lester Maddox understood private property rights. Good man.

[@julianG1212]

I mean how can you be for segregation if you have black employees that doesn’t make sense

[@Tsuruta1]

The people at the time felt that courts ruling guarantees acceptance. And Mattox proved that isn't always effective, by closing his business.

[@clintcastle]

Its okay that you dont agree with property rights, but to suggest that the Paul's are racist is not intellectually honest. A person who makes intellectually dishonest arguments is a tool.. Not sure how you couldn't make that connection

[@jaybebop4377]

clintcastle you just contradicted yourself you tool, people are so fucking dumb today. Especially ones who defend racism but actually think there high and holy

What God did they believe in

[@YourMomfailedu]

I think the one who destroyed the tower of babel and separated the people and confused their language so that they wouldn't be able to assimilate. And the one who said not to marry strange women from other nations because they would turn you away from Him.

The White God of go-back-to-Africa. At least, that's the God I believe in! 🙏
