Pat Buchanan found the silver linings in segregation, claiming that segregated schools were "the transmission belts of patriotism and traditional values rooted in biblical truths" and noting that segregated schools today would be deemed unconstitutional, despite having "graduated hardworking, law-abiding and productive citizens."

From Buchanan's August 23 syndicated column:

If we go back to the end of World War II, 90 percent of black families consisted of a mother and father and children raised and disciplined by their parents. The churches to which these families went on Sundays were stronger. Black schools may have been largely segregated, but they were also the transmission belts of patriotism and traditional values rooted in biblical truths and a Christian faith.

Though such schools graduated hardworking, law-abiding and productive citizens, today they would be closed as unconstitutional.

Indeed, all of those character- and conscience-forming institutions of yesterday are in an advanced state of decline today.

Hmmm.. "biblical truths"... slavery is in the Bible...

1. "the transmission belts of patriotism "

Pat is now and has always been batshit crazy .... slaves had it good, the north started the civil war,
Churchill forced Hitler to start WW II, and now the good old days of Jim Crow America.
