Rachel goes weirdo with Rand Paul
It was no fun watching Sen. elect Rand Paul brilliantly defending himself on the Rachel Maddow Show this evening.
Rachel asked Mr. Paul if he would have voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. I had to pinch myself to see if she was serious and it turned out that yes, she was serious. She wanted to know if he approved of Blacks eating at a Woolworth lunch counter so many decades ago. She wanted him to answer questions regarding public accommodations for Blacks, ending her interview saying that these questions are going to plague him during his continued candidacy to becoming a U.S. Senator.
If Mr. Paul is going to be plagued with questions regarding the Civil Rights Act, the threshold doesn’t make sense to me in the year of our Lord, 2010. If Rachel was saying Mr. Paul is a racist and we should not have racist people in our Congress, in my opinion her exposure of Mr. Paul was an epic fail and a waste of air-time!
Surely Rachel did not feel she was doing this interview to enlighten us Blacks. If so, why? Most Black Democrats would not vote for a Republican anyway. Was this rendezvous tonight supposed to send some sort of "heads-up" message to Pres. Obama? He’s used to this shit just like the rest of us Blacks. I repeat I am baffled by the incident.
Rachel has to know the Civil Rights Act of 1964 had, as its grandparents, The Dread Scott Decision (1857), Plessy Vs. Ferguson (1896), and Brown Vs. Board of Education (1954). The Civil Rights Act did not materialize out of thin air. It had to be won having “Legal precedences” to build upon!
Why find a reason to fight those battles again with Mr. Paul or anybody else? I can not embrace the “bottom line”. With so many questions Rachel could have asked Mr. Paul regarding contemporary issues, I can only conclude the choice was not her own. There was someone behind the curtain on this one. I find comfort in those thoughts. After all that’s said and done, Rachel is somebodys’ employee.
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,
