The opinions and question frames of @wlox anchor @DaveWLOX are among most interesting parts of @ashtonpittman’s followup to his viral story on SofS’s “woke college students” remarks. #TVNewsMS
Seems @wlox is now owned by Gray Television out of ... Atlanta.

Interesting re “foxifying” of stations like @wlox owned by Gray Television. Maybe this explains @WLOXDave’s bizarre interview with SofS.

Yikes: Gray Television’s board snd senior leadership missed a memo: gray.tv/about
I think the President (son of deceased founder of Gray Television) stapped down from the board in January to become national chief political analyst. This is getting interesting.

The Trump propagandists continually borrows phrases from Nazi Germany and makes them talking points in their rhetoric. Lügenpresse is a big one Nazis used to discredit those who point it out. From @haaretzcom in 2017:

Here’s that U.S. Lügenpresse headline in @haaretzcom: Image
@haaretzcom This is how Nazis dealt with non-compliant press (that they branded “fake news”) per U.S. @HolocaustMuseum: Image

1. 🧵📢Amid Trump-Vance false claims of Haitians eating pets, and just in time for #DemocracyDay, my new essay connects historic dots to show similar racist attacks on immigrants in U.S. history as targeted groups shifts.

I started with the Chinese.

mississippifreepress.org/editors-note-f…
2. Despite the Chinese building Transcontinental Railroad in backbreaking work, white Americans called them every kind of name before demanding passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882 to block them from the U.S.—until 1943—like “rat-eaters." mississippifreepress.org/editors-note-f…

3. Among earliest immigrants U.S. whites targeted were Irish + German Catholics. Trump himself descends from a German grandpa who fled to escape draft. His heritage is Scottish and German, but DT claimed to be Swedish (as in superior Nordic) in his books.

It's cute to watch the NO THE PARTIES DIDN'T SWITCH crowd try to reconstruct arguments on the fly when presented with evidence that it is established historic fact that white Dems fled to the new Republican Party bc national Dems embraced civil rights—and took racism with them.
Whole GOP strategy to save itself was appeal to the old Dixiecrats and their ilk. It's why politics are so broken + putrid today. All the bullshit grasping at the past to maintain and consolidate power as white America moves rapidly toward becoming the minority. Whiteness, man.
Now, mind you, Dixiecrats did not take all the bigotry (and sexism) with them to the GOP. We all know this, or should.

1. I'm inspired by @NicLott, @jarvisdortch, others to share @msfreepress and other clips involving L.Q.C. Lamar. First, learn about the Mississippi Plan (remember LQC Lamar and most white southerners were Democrats then, well before party switch): nps.gov/vick/learn/his…
2. L.Q.C. Lamar (who much of Oxford, Miss. is named for) was a slaver and rapid white supremacist (and opportunist) as we show here: this along means he deserves no statue anywhere: mississippifreepress.org/4351/the-past-…
Image
3. L.Q.C. Lamar was a fire-eater racist who WROTE Mississippi's Articles of Secession. He was an Emory grad, and they've had a reckoning over him: news.emory.edu/stories/2022/0…

In research today, I ran across this program for Jackson convention for Mississippi's "Patriotic American Youth," where segregationists and red-baiters worked hard to create the next generation of, well, you know.

But I'm sharing it now because the "Coke breaks" tickled me. Image
The group, by the way, was started by Mrs. Sara McCorkle, the highest ranking woman Citizens Council leader in Mississippi, as far as I can tell. She was in charge of youth propaganda.
It's also funny that these genuises misspelled "patriotic" on the flyer for the convention the year before in downtown Jackson. Oh and read about the man giving the first night's address here (yikes): . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_S.…

1. Just clipped this for y'all for a quick Mississippi segregation academy lesson from early 1970s. There were racist segs (whites-only) and there were Citizens Council school run by Bill Simmons & his goons. Here: Hanging Moss, Manhattan, McCluer, Adams Cty Private were Council
2. Union Acad, Brandon Acad, Amite Acad, Copiah, Indianola Acad, Simpson Acad, Bayou Acad, Greenville Christian (I think), Pillow Acad, Jackson Prep were whites-only academies. Many more.
Council schools more overtly taught that Black people were born inferior; thus couldn't mix
3. Also several private schools today started as *Council* schools. That includes HIllcrest Christian Acad in South Jackson (started as Council McCluer where Phil Bryant went), Central Hinds Academy and one of the Rankin County academies.
