Supposedly, funerals are meant to mourn on the departed soul and remind their good deeds. This ceremony should encourage the talks of a never-ending circle of life to comfort the family at loss. Usually attending people tend to honor deceased persons yet some people seek gossip even at cremation ceremonies.
We witnessed such demeaning gestures at the funeral of Rep. John Lewis who was an icon of the civil rights movement. Former President Barack Obama chose to troll Mr. Trump and accusing him and his party for voter suppression.
Mr. Obama also deprecates President Trump for sending out federal agents to firestorm the violence that was going on for more than 2 months in Portland, Oregon. Mr. Obama was incapable to call out and sort out the racial issues during his run. Additionally, he has always ignored the civil rights movements of Republicans and hardly ever took an effort to realize the discriminating campaigns.
We can count several moments where democrats were the ones to do violate the rights of colored people. By now, the Democrats have effortlessly learned to turn facts and figures upside down. Long ago, in 1957 then-President Eisenhower did his best to refrain black students from entering Central High School. Just for nine kids, he sent 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock, Arkansas where Central High School was situated. Former President Obama never had the courage to oppose Eisenhower’s wrongdoings.
Also, in the year1963, Wallace stopped African-American students from entering the University of Alabama. Democrats never let poor kids leave their failed public schools as they get hefty financial support from the teacher’s union.
If we are talking about opinion and healthy criticism then we must question Obama for not depreciating the disgraceful acts of President Kennedy in 1961. Notably, on 21st May 1961, then-Governor John Patterson of Montgomery, Alabama wasn’t able to guarantee peace owing to the race riots break out in the region. It was Kennedy who sent 300 federal marshals to handle the situation there.
We are eager to know how Mr. Obama received the so-called Democratic civil rights movement which was specifically done to restrain James Meredith from registering himself in the University of Mississippi as a student. Then-President Kennedy sent police and military troops from Mississippi National Guard there to forcefully stop Meredith’s registration. Not just Kennedy also sent US Border Patrol Officials to the area. Apart from this, Attorney General Robert Kennedy also ordered 500 US marshals to handle the situation at the school. The entrance was blocked by forces and instant riots erupted.
Mr. Obama should let people know he was able to ignore the strong approach of Democrats to protect civil rights in 1965. At that time, Arkansas, Alabama, and Mississipi all three states had Democratic Parties. Yet then President Johnson deprecated and negatively affected civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery by federalizing the Alabama National Guard. Notably, Mr. John Lewis was a respected major part of the movement, at the ceremony of whom Mr. Obama wasn’t able to spare a minute or two actually speaking about Mr. Lewis. After all this, Former President Obama had nerves to spend a handful of precious time in accusing and criticizing Republicans and of course Mr. Trump.
May be in today’s era funerals ceremonies aren’t event respectful in the eyes of some pastor. One of the pastors at the ceremony of Mr. Lewis criticized 40th President for poor housing conditions. Politics, nowadays, didn’t even spare such saddening ceremonies. Even these events are targeted to make hateful statements for the opposition. The saddest part was the big round of applause by the attendees of the ceremony. We as a people failed if we cannot even spare a moment to reminisce someone’s great efforts for society and a little word of condolences to the family of the deceased.
