For the most part, my points relating to civil rights had nothing to do with race.
That's simply not true Buzsaw. You complained about a lot more than forced busing. The thrust of your comments dealt very much with race. Why deny that here?

What else besides busing? Please specify and tell why it is racist.
Did I accuse you of saying something racist or did I dispute your claim that your statement in the aforemention 'message 114' did not deal with race 'for the most part'? Are you reading between the lines of my post to find an accusation that you are a racist?
Here is what you posted
quote:
The problem with the Civil Rights movement was it went
to far towards the decline of freedom. Rights of employers and landlords were taken, employer requirements for minorities, women's rights, children rights and animal rights gay rights etc. All of these so called rights for designated classes infringed on the rights of others and increased government and bureacracy. School districts were required to buy buses for integration of students. Those are just to mention a few.
Was this post primarily about busing? Is there truly no racial component to your complaints about loss of rights for employers and landlords and 'so called rights' for designated classes? And let's put your post into its context. Was the civil rights movement in the 1940-50s Golden Era the least bit concerned with animal or gay rights? In what sense are animals and women minorities?
I have no idea whether you are a racist or not. I didn't even say that your comments were racist.
Still, your denials that your comments had a racial component and your suggestion that your only complaint was about forced busing are complete nonsense.
