I was alive during bussing... allowing black kids to choose if they want to go to a white school rather than force them to segregate is the choice... Sure invest in their schools too.. then the kids wont **opt** to bus to the white schools...

But yes it was racist, he made it clear his entire goal to oppose bussing was to keep his kids out of a "racial jungle".. excuse it all you want but he explicitly stated he was doing it for racist reasons and to keep his kids away from mixed race populations....

Kinda disgusting that knowing his motivations (and I showed you the quote) you would even defend this... thats some racist BS right there coming out of you.

HAHAHA "Spending 10 years keeping blacks our of white schools and **explicitly(( stating your doing it cause you dont want your white kids among other races, thats just a one time decontextualized gaffe".... hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

God the mental gymnastics you will go through to defend racist politicians its amazing. I mean its not a "one time" its literally consistent over decades but ok....

 @b05df304 @9c92a582 @de8e207b You *misleadingly decontextualized the quote. Was it on purpose? Did you get that bullshit directly from the Trump campaign? 
 I literally have the original 1980's official congress transcript posted on my TL from discussing this already... It very clearly shows the quote is valid, real, and in context.
