Why does this remind me of Blazing Saddles?

You guys just played an example.
First the topic was about the Republican party not having a historical candidate and then it turns into KKK talk. If it were about the Democrats no mention of the KKK would've been mentioned but here's the whole truth and I'm sorry the truth hurts...
Democrats are all for the minority as long as they stay on the plantation. That's bullshit. It's about equal rights not the color of anyone's skin. Rant over

I don't see anything there that refers to "blacks should be 2nd class citizens or that women shouldn't be able to vote.."
baloney.

And one can't help but notice that these days in the spirit of Jim Crow, that for every organization, event or award there seems to be at least one, if not more, version specifically for African Americans.
Would that be considered social progress or not?

I think ultimately things like those would not exist in a fully equal society. But they exist for basically every subset of non-white-males, mainly because the system is skewed in favour of white males.

Stop it.
I filled out (assisted in filling out) many college applications for my 3 sons, and there were no advantages to being a white male.
Civil Service exams give extra points to minorities. They also give them for military service (as they should).
The playing field may never truly be equal, despite attempts to tweak it or legislate it. I think an equal opportunity to apply for jobs, college entrance, etc. is about the best we can hope for.

Good reading:
how the dishonest flippity-switchedy happened that blacks and libs clustered to the dems,
I have no freaking idea.

Cal, do you think it is ok for blacks and whites to hang out and eat at the same restaurant?
If you have no problem with that sort of thing then you would have been ahead of the times.

He understands the question but is avoiding it.
Anyway, I hate this about modern politics, it's all just shouting over each other to try to score points by insulting someone else

Also the video closer to the bottom is interesting.

Just pointing out we seen film of some uncivil repartee in Parliament.
But we haven't had a duel in a good many years.

Oh for sure, it's just as bad if not worse here. You'll notice, though, I said 'modern politics' and not the US. There's plenty of instances of it here, but I posted the more relevant one.

Also from what I've heard it was reasonably shity back in John Adams day if that biography is any indication

Quite possibly. But these days it has descended to a popularity contest, and so it's about 'point scoring' rather than putting forth arguments and counter arguments.

This is why you'll hear me saying things like "I would really like to see a Sanders vs Paul election" (yes I know it won't happen and Paul has dropped out)
