Weekly Standard quote
"You heard of the Citizens Councils? Up north they think it was like the KKK," said Barbour. "Where I come from it was an organization of town leaders. In Yazoo City they passed a resolution that said anybody who started a chapter of the Klan would get their ass run out of town. If you had a job, you’d lose it. If you had a store, they’d see nobody shopped there. We didn’t have a problem with the Klan in Yazoo City."
Oh noes and today
When asked why my hometown in Mississippi did not suffer the same racial violence when I was a young man that accompanied other towns’ integration efforts, I accurately said the community leadership wouldn’t tolerate it and helped prevent violence there. My point was my town rejected the Ku Klux Klan, but nobody should construe that to mean I think the town leadership were saints, either. Their vehicle, called the ‘Citizens Council,’ is totally indefensible, as is segregation.
Gosh what to say.
;-)
Talking with them good ole boys at tha Weekly Standard emboldened your talk did it?
Then you read what you actually said?
Oh noes!
I suppose not being as bloody racist as the Ku Klux Klan could have sounded once upon a time as progressive in Mississippi, but I'm afraid it just sounds plain racist today.
Gosh I love it when they spin so fast in their hoods, sort of like southern whirling dervishes? Do you get dizzy Haley?
hehehehe
Bwahahahaha.
Ah the good old southern strategy in all its glory false apology included.
Sorry but the cat was out the bag then as it is now.
