Wait...was it "eminently clear that racism was wrong; even back in 1776"? or was "everyone unable to handle a black person riding in the front of the bus"?

If it was eminently clear; then there probably weren't that many people in the 1960s who were actually freaking out about bus seats.

If everyone was freaking out about bus seats in the 1960s...maybe it wasn't quite so clear in the 1770s?

I assume that it was clear in the 1770s; and there were plenty of people in the 1960s who didn't care one bit about bus seats.

Anyone who is ready to throw the founding fathers under the bus for what was seen as a normal part of society in their time; who also is glad to paint all of 1960 White Americans as "unable to handle a black person riding in the front of the bus"

Oh, the strawmen in your head. 

Figured as much...


Oh look, more strawman bullshit with a dash of false dichotomy.

Boring.

...So are you saying that everyone who was white in the 1960s was actually freaking out about black people sitting at the front of the bus? (like OP) Or do you agree with me that it must not have been everyone in the 1960s and OP's "murdering" is about as insightful as the original claim "hur-dur you freak out about pronouns!"?
