Harris Backs Away From Busing As A Federal Mandate After Biden Attack (Huffpost) [View all] Skya Rhen Jul 2019 OP

As article indicates, Biden played into what segregationists wanted -- more time to drag feet and Hoyt Jul 2019 #1

Oh fer chrissakes... JCannon Jul 2019 #12

"Forced busing" was a term coined by Lee Atwater and crew to appeal to segregationists Tiggeroshii Jul 2019 #16

The term predates Atwater. TwilightZone Jul 2019 #32

I was around, and forced busing was only used when the local white controlled government dragged Hoyt Jul 2019 #17

"Forced busing" was a term specifically coined to form consensus against it Tiggeroshii Jul 2019 #21

Forced busing is precisely the right term JCannon Jul 2019 #28

That's no proof at all JCannon Jul 2019 #37

Thanks for your input. You are 100% correct about the disaster R B Garr Jul 2019 #45

I don't see any comments section. Hmmph. (n/t) thesquanderer Jul 2019 #6

You would have to click on the bubble icon, on the left of the website... Skya Rhen Jul 2019 #9

The HuffPo comment section is infested with right wing trolls. SunSeeker Jul 2019 #18

Misleading headline. She did not "back away from busing as a federal mandate." SunSeeker Jul 2019 #8

This is Huffpost's Headline... Skya Rhen Jul 2019 #10

Yes, and you posted it, without even including Harris' actual quote. SunSeeker Jul 2019 #13

Any more unfair than the claim treestar Jul 2019 #11

So two wrongs make a right? Seriously? SunSeeker Jul 2019 #14

She found it hurtful that he mentioned talking with them treestar Jul 2019 #19

That's what I thought. You made up the quote. SunSeeker Jul 2019 #22

She said "considered by a school DISTRICT". I think she did a pretty good job with the walk back.nt UniteFightBack Jul 2019 #15

No, she just said the school district should consider it, not that the feds shouldn't intervene. SunSeeker Jul 2019 #20

A misleading headline from HuffPo? What is the world coming to? thesquanderer Jul 2019 #25

Epic flip-flop NYMinute Jul 2019 #23

Did you read the article? All she said was school districts should consider busing. nt SunSeeker Jul 2019 #24

She said the same thing that she attacked Joe Biden with NYMinute Jul 2019 #36

No she didn't. Her position is fed action should be part of the anti-segregation "tool box." SunSeeker Jul 2019 #38

You can try to spin it that way but it is obvious to everyone. nt NYMinute Jul 2019 #42

I'm not engaing in spin. I'm stating her position. She stated it again today. SunSeeker Jul 2019 #46

A hit and run? Mme. Defarge Jul 2019 #26

We're allowed to do that here ... ucrdem Jul 2019 #34

sheesh, everyone including Harris should just move on from busing... Thomas Hurt Jul 2019 #27

She was responding to a question from a reporter. It was not in her prepared remarks. SunSeeker Jul 2019 #30

good luck putting the genie back in the bottle. ucrdem Jul 2019 #35

Rev. Jesse Jackson says Harris on 'the wrong side of history' with busing wyldwolf Jul 2019 #31

LOL, Joe Biden, accidental prophet. ucrdem Jul 2019 #33

Why should Rev. Jackdon "call out" Harris? She did not make a pro-states rights argument. SunSeeker Jul 2019 #39

Sure she did...by saying she opposed federally imposed busing she left it to the states...states Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #43

That's not what she said. SunSeeker Jul 2019 #44

She said she had the same position as he does...so...Hope she can manage to explain herself. Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #47

Nope. He opposes the fed ordered busing in the 60s/70s, she doesn't. nt SunSeeker Jul 2019 #48

I'm seeing a LOT of tweets about Harris's backtracking, and they're showing up among highplainsdem Jul 2019 #40

Wow.. this should be an OP, Cha Jul 2019 #41
