    My mistake, I confused Jesse for Strom.

    And as bad as Jesse may have been I'm not aware of him spouting anywhere near the vile racism that Byrd espoused.

    I am a typical American, a southerner and 27 years of age.... I am loyal to my country and know but reverence to her flag, BUT I shall never submit to fight beneath that banner with a negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory tramped in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throw back to the blackest specimen from the wilds.

    We now trash teenagers for homophobic and or racist comments they made on Twitter when they were 16. Why does Byrd get a pass for a letter he wrote, and mailed to the US Senator when he was 27?

    I give Jesse a pass because he was fucking black women, he evolved so much he even had a black daughter.

    I thought that was Strom Thurmond. At any rate, lots of racists like to fuck black women and have illegitimate children with them. It's an old practice.

    For me, if your political resume includes working on a "Wake Up White People" campaign, you're probably a racist and always will be.

    I missed this before posting. Yes, that's the writing I was referring to. I just can't see anyone at that age with such deep seeded bias evolving. You won't see me give Byrd a pass.

    Helms was, I think, smarter than Byrd and operated a little more subtly. There was his harassment of the nation's first female black senator and the "watch I'll make her cry by whistling Dixie" routine. And of course he was a pretty fierce opponent of the CRA.

    I regard them both as pieces of shit.

    I liked Jesse. And for this Ad alone he should be given a pass.

    Btw, the story about Helms singing Dixie and claiming he'd continue to do so until she cried is what Moseley-Braun claimed Helms had done during a speech she was giving to the Urban League. Helms denied the exchange was anything like what she claimed it was as did Hatch.

    The incident happened Tuesday, she said. When Helms stepped into the elevator, “he saw me standing there, and he started to sing, ‘I wish I was in the land of cotton . . . ' And he looked at Sen. Hatch and said, ‘I’m going to make her cry. I’m going to sing ‘Dixie’ until she cries.’


    “And I looked at him and said, ‘Sen. Helms, your singing would make me cry if you sang ‘Rock of Ages,’ ” Moseley-Braun said.


    Her recollection of the witty response makes me believe there's a lot of embellishment in her story.

    Perhaps. In the final analysis, though, his opposition to the CRA is enough for me.

    Canadian Revenue Agency?

    That too.

    Civil Rights Act.

    At the end of the day, we're talking about two guys I've never interacted with. From that distance, I'd score Helms as more of a "product of his time and geography" person. Byrd gets that too, but he was a rabid racist. Some people take to that shit more readily than others and carry it with more enthusiasm. Byrd seems like one of those guys.

    There's no doubt Jesse was a racist and product of his time and this really is an argument over which midget is taller. Jesse had a better sense of humor and the hands ad was straight up Lee Atwater political genius which I admire.

    Meet Ralph Northam, the racist Democrat governor of Virginia. Is he the guy in the KKK outfit or the guy in blackface?



    Where's the outrage from the leftists?

    He also supports murdering babies post birth, as long the parents and the doctor agree that murder would be the best way to go, just so long as the baby is made to feel 'comfortable.'

    Can somebody tell me the age of that photograph?

    And will they dare argue that Democrats didn’t run the former slave states at that time? Cause they did. Meaning that billboard was 100% Dem owned and supported.

    Inconvenient facts, I know.

    Byrd was a raging racist early in his career but grew later in his career and became a champion for civil rights. He was one of the first to hire a black congressional aide and worked to integrate Capitol police among other things.

    If a raging racist like Byrd can change there is hope for anyone!

    FFS...........

    Byrd was as shitty of a human being when he died as he was in the 40's. His best friend was Chappaquiddick Ted FFS. Evidently that is ok with Scotti. Seriously, does half the country think like Scotti? IF they do we are in serious trouble.

    There is no evolving. I've added Cubans to the list of people I dislike.

    Dutch
    Scottish
    Cuban
