Back then it was legal to rape black girls and women. Yes, you read that right. No man, regardless of race, would be prosecuted because it wasn't a crime.
"Born in 1902, retires from Senat in 2003." Who's voting people over 100yo into office? Same with some judges... I know rich people in the US live crazy long but that's not healthy for the system and the people!
If you are referring to Supreme Court judges they are not elected and instead appointed by the president for life until they pass away, retire, or are impeached, but if you are referring to other judges they could be elected.
I've heard about some racist guy who pissed in a bucket on the senate floor while doing a speech, which brought me here... What a way to be remembered!
You’re very ignorant. He changed with the era to keep his image afloat. I’m black and can realize that. If you were in the chess match that is politics I bet you’d do the exact same. You sound ignorant with your sensitivity. Grow up or man up because saying strom thurumund was evil incarnate? Then you don’t know shit about history/ historical figures. You spit on my ancestors with that ignorant ass comment
@@kevoojames4410 lmao I haven’t been a Sargon fan in years he’s such a joke. My subscriptions aren’t going to tell you anything about me but your cherry picking of those three channels says a lot. And btw the bbc is just news and screen rants is kinda cringe lolol
@@kevoojames4410 I’m not sure how I spit on your ancestors. I said he changed his opinion to “save some face” which means exactly what you said that he changed his image to stay afloat. I called him evil incarnate for some flare because he was a racist piece of shit with a lot of power, who relentlessly fought for segregation. I wouldn’t do the same thing as him because I’m not a racist and I don’t agree with grifting to stay politically viable. How is any of this ignorant???
Lmao when SCOTUS ruled in gay marriage the republicans dropped the issue overnight. It was pathetic to see both that and how the democrats didn’t DESTROY them
At 1:15 - In that speech, Thurmond doesn't say the word "Negro", he actually says "N-word". If his words are true sentiments on how he felt about Black People, I wonder what were Thurmonds' sentiments towards Black People, when as Judge, Thurmond was on the bench? Do you think Thurmond would take into account a persons ethnicity and rule not in favor? If so, how many Black People had their lives ruined because of their ethnicity. REPARATIONS MAN!!!
What the hell are you babbling on about? "Forced integration is just as bad as forced separation"? That's a fallacious, facile, and fatuous comparison! You are not 'forced' to integrate with anyone if you don't choose to! You are not 'forced' to marry or to associate with anyone of a different race, but under segregation, you were not allowed to, even if you wanted to! In the US, the north was just as racially segregated as the south, but that was through choice, white flight in Chicago, for example, but in the South, segregation was mandated by law. For your homework, Whatever whatever, you are required to research and study 'de facto vs de jure segregation'! Did you vote for Agent Orange during the 2020 elections?
100% wrong. Segregation is *inherently* unequal and is *inherently* harmful to those segregated. Integration might *feel* like oppression to the majority (whites) but it is not, no matter how much they whine about it. Any excuse made to oppose integration is founded in either ignorance or racism.
Come on. This guy was dead before he died. Doubtful he could make any critical/speedy decisions for our country towards the end. Get some age/term/competency limits enacted.
Born in 1902, retired from the senate in 2003...I couldn’t even stay in the senate at over 100 years old
That is as you are the Senate
What a racist S.O.B. ,,he also got away with statutory rape , plus all the other allegations against him. What a jerk.
The age of consent in South Carolina was 16 at the time
He was a living contradiction. He should have been in jail that girl was 14 or 15 when he was taking advantage of her.
Age gaps like that were the norm in those days.
Back then it was legal to rape black girls and women. Yes, you read that right. No man, regardless of race, would be prosecuted because it wasn't a crime.
Age of consent is 14 in most countries outside the US. Here in germany it's 14 too.

He wasn’t 100 when he was re-elected but I get your point

Thurmond was 94 when he was reelected, what's the problem? Why is ok about Robert Byrd but No Strom Thurmond?
Darn lie he never changed his views just his tactic.

Guy was evil incarnate, but later, in a post segregation world, tried to save some face.

He's still alive? Dang.
He died in 2003 at 100 years old

White southerners developed a deep rooted, warped superiority complex as a result of enslaving Africans for 300 years.

Joe Biden's best friend
Yep
They wrote the crime bill
Strom Thurmond reversed his ways a little at that time
@@donaldmelvin4348 yeah him and Robert Byrd changed their ways
He was a republican...
Proof that anyone will do anything for power and wealth. Also proof that most people will tolerate it.
Wow! That’s quite an unexpected, astonishing ending to this story!😲
Anyone else find the music eerie?
REPULSIVE!!!
Notorious racist.

Anyone who was ruled guilty by Thurmond when he was a judge is almost certainly dead now
His racist legacy still continues
How his specifically?
@@travishardaway6348 he r**** a b**** woman and had a mixed race daughter and disowned her. He was sick SOB in the dirty old south.
The modern Republican party in a nutshell.
@@ThunderTheBlackShadowKitty wait what?
@@travishardaway6348 Trent Lott literally said that if Strom Thurmond had won in 1948 we would be in the right place
It's sickening
TNO moment
This thing keeps erasing my comments.
They do that if there is too much truth in them.
She's a liar about being his daughter. Why. Not lie??? No one to prove she is a liar.
…then why did you father a black child? How hypocritical people can be
He made a lot of people look like good ppl....compared.
Wow, what a fluff piece. Have one for Byrd as well?
It's more of a biography than an opinion piece. If it was biased, it would have never mentioned his relationship with his maid or their daughter.
You have some of the worst ducking music taste all in playlist and your profile name is Patrick Bateman. Stfu loser

So he couldn’t beatem so he joined I guess another knife in the back while shaking hands
Biden: I got him to vote yes on voting rights pin 06’… okay joe but he already did 24 years earlier so keep searching for your first win lol
He literally was a known racist who had the longest filibuster in history against the civil rights act. That was the presidents point
He was talking abt the first one in 87 or whatever
😡😡😡🤡🐘
You put the wrong symbol. He was a democrat and best buds and mentor to pedo jo.
How can someone change their views just like that?
How???? Seems very suspicious.
