RNC tweet suggests that racism is over

At least they gave Rosa Parks a nod. And very much to their credit didn't mention Strom Thurmond at all. Of course racism didn't end. Lynchings continued sporadically until 1968. In 1998 James Byrd was dragged to death by 3 white supremicists, the last documented occurance of a lynching like death of a black man in the United States.

. Civil Rights Act of 1957

In 1956, partly at the initiative of outside advocacy groups such as the NAACP, proposals by Eisenhower’s Justice Department under the leadership of Attorney General Herbert Brownell, and the growing presidential ambitions of Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson, a
x/CCC/ civil rights bill began to move through Congress. Southern opponents such as Senators Russell and Eastland, realizing that some kind of legislation was imminent, slowed and weakened reform through the amendment process. The House passed the measure by a wide margi, 279 to 97, though southern opponents managed to excise voting protections from the original language. Adam Clayton Powell and Charles Diggs argued passionately on the House Floor for a strong bill. Powell particularly aimed at southern amendments that preserved trials by local juries because all-white juries (since blacks were excluded from the voting process, they were also barred from jury duty) ensured easy acquittals for white defendants accused of crimes against blacks. “This is an hour for great moral stamina,” Powell told colleagues. “America stands on trial today before the world and communism must succeed if democracy fails…Speak no more concerning the bombed and burned and gutted churches behind the Iron Curtain when here in America behind our ’color curtain’ we have bombed and burned churches and the confessed perpetrators of these crimes go free because of trial by jury.”93 In the Senate, Paul H. Douglas of Illinois and Minority Leader William F. Knowland of California circumvented Eastland’s Judiciary Committee and got the bill onto the floor for debate. Lyndon Johnson played a crucial role, too, discouraging an organized southern filibuster while forging a compromise that allayed southern concern about the bill’s jury and trial provisions.94 On August 29 the Senate approved the Civil Rights Act of 1957 (P.L. 85-315) by a vote of 60 to 15.]

I know who you are and where you are trolling. I find it interesting that Wry Catcher was so quick on you.

The Republican National Committee declared the end of racism and then retracted the statement nearly four hours later.
Sunday marked the 58-year anniversary of Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat on a public bus in Montgomery, Ala., and the RNC used its Twitter account to pay tribute to the Civil Rights activist.
"Today we remember Rosa Parks' bold stand and her role in ending racism," the Republicans tweeted, posting a picture of Parks emblazoned with her famous quote: "You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right."
The praise of Parks fell flat, though, as many on social media called out the conservatives for naively believing racism had been eradicated.

Show the retracted statement. I can't wait to read your retraction.

When racism is finally ended, Rosa Parks will have played a huge role.

I think we all know that was the meaning.

Racism won't end as long as the PC Police and the race pimps are operating, of course, but it's a nice thought.

I've never seen where race is played like a game like this. It's disgusting. But it's the American game.

And it's pathetic. Unreal. Your American blacks love to rub it on them and make sure they are the downtrodden and all a lie. I can't figure it. Except maybe they want to be poor and horribly sloven. I don't understand a people who would want to be that way but hells bells your blacks seem to love it and embrace their poverty and their idiocy .

This Rosa Parks thing is way overblown, she wasn't the first. The NAACP, an arm of the race baiting Democratic Party simply thought she would sell division and racism better.

---------------------------

Parks was not the first person to resist bus segregation. Others had taken similar steps in the twentieth century, including Irene Morgan in 1946, Sarah Louise Keys in 1955, and the members of the Browder v. Gayle lawsuit (Claudette Colvin, Aurelia Browder, Susie McDonald, and Mary Louise Smith) arrested months before Parks. NAACP organizers believed that Parks was the best candidate for seeing through a court challenge after her arrest for civil disobedience in violating Alabama segregation laws though eventually her case became bogged down in the state courts
