"By the way, did you know that Mr. Meredith once said that liberal whites were the 'greatest enemy' of American blacks?"

And he was right. Too bad some folks here don't realize that Meredith is a strident Conservative.

Ole Miss kicked my butt and they're still celebrating. Because every black that's gone there since me has been insulted, humiliated, and they can't even tell their story. Everybody has to tell James Meredith's story — which is a lie. The powers that be in Mississippi understand this very clearly. See, I've been telling them for fifty years how insulting it is to me to suggest that I had to be courageous to confront some ignorant white folks. And recently, they told me they really understand, but they're gonna keep doing it. I can't figure a way to make 'em stop. They're gonna keep on doin' it because it makes it impossible for the blacks there now to say anything about what's happened to them. Because the comparison is with the idol.

These sentiments may be conservative. I'm not really sure.

What I am clear on is that they're incoherent.

Has every black that's gone to Ole Miss in the last 60 years really be insulted and degraded?

My guess is that some people also don't know that Meredith also organized a Black Man's March to the Library to promote reading and writing of standard English, to introduce the black male to the library, to let him know he would have to go there, that the library is the place of knowledge.

The march started in Memphis and ended in Jackson. In each small town, the march would stop and take local residents on a trip to the library.

“Too bad some folks here don’t realize that Meredith is a strident Conservative.”

It’s sad to see ignorant conservatives judging people by the color of their skin. We’re supposed to be better than that.
