So we are completely forgetting about Obama now, got it.

The reality is that the events of 60 years ago have become a rarity. It has been replaced with a Dem party who wants inequality and only equity. A Dem party who wants race to stay at the forefront of politics to ensure race issues always exist so they get votes. There are many real-world examples of politicians who run something fighting to ensure that something stays relevant, and this is just the next version of it.

"And, Mississippi has changed from then... how?"

It's incredibly easy to tell how it has changed but since you can't bother to look at the situation objectively, you continue to spread propaganda to ensure race stays an issue. First off, a news story like that would probably not have even made the news back then. If it did, it wouldn't have been to spread news, it would have been to spread hate. Additionally, those events were much more common but not reported, which was proven by a professor in the 90s which I can't remember his name now but I remember his research. Secondly, how any black people have killed white people? That number has increased significantly since 60 years ago. And, there is evidence in many cases they targeted the white person because they looked like an average white person who has money.

The fact you even try to insinuate that little has changed since 60 years ago is the entire problem. Today, we have a race of people who are struggling to do for themselves. Back then, we had a race of people who had no option to do for themselves. It's a completely different battle, one that still includes a little racism but has more to do with geographical culture and access to resources they need. But Dems are too busy fighting the battles of 60 years ago and not modernizing and fighting the modern battles we face today. Which is very sad for a group of people who call themselves progressive.
