What choice bits of racism are they stooping to over at FR?

Saying the same things we are. I'm surprised, but in a way, I'm not. How can you anything negative to say about Rosa Parks.

7. This made me think about the historical inevitibility of liberalism. |

It does seem that the Freepers are saying the sort of thing any decent human being would.
It raises a point about the historic inevitability of liberalism.
We can all imagine that the Freepers (well, the god-fearing conservative Freeper types), 50 years ago would have been against the civil rights movement. Yet, now that the civil rights movement won, it's got to the stage where Freepers wouldn't dare attack the icons of that era.
No doubt, there are still racist freepers, but they'll only attack modern civil rights activists (saying that they've strayed from the original goals - MLK would be turning in his grave, etc.)
Will it be the same with, say, gay rights? The acceptance of homosexuality is only going one way.
Any thought?
