Starkiller Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 It’s kind of the end of an era with his passing, both in his presence in the 60's civil rights movement and his longevity in the House. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeFan Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 John Lewis was a great man. I was just posting how you dumb Democrats will twist anything because of your hatred for Trump. You going to praise Trump for doing the right thing? No. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Lowering the flag half mast is not praiseworthy when the administration has secret police is kidnapping Americans in Portland. John Lewis fought the police state his entire life. In the original text of his March on Washington speech: Quote We march today for jobs and freedom, but we have nothing to be proud of, for hundreds and thousands of our brothers are not here. They have no money for their transportation, for they are receiving starvation wages, or no wages at all. In good conscience, we cannot support wholeheartedly the administration’s civil rights bill, for it is too little and too late. There’s not one thing in the bill that will protect our people from police brutality. This bill will not protect young children and old women from police dogs and fire hoses, for engaging in peaceful demonstrations: This bill will not protect the citizens in Danville, Virginia, who must live in constant fear in a police state. This bill will not protect the hundreds of people who have been arrested on trumped up charges. What about the three young men in Americus, Georgia, who face the death penalty for engaging in peaceful protest? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
