King died in 1968. Reagan was a leading candidate for the Presidency in his first term as Governor of California?

Yeah, makes you wonder where they pulled that from.

The same place one of the posters got the "fact" that most U.S. Hispanics are "Spanish speaking Indians" and not "White" as the crime stats supposedly started classifying in recent years or whatever the poster was complaining about.

(Actually, at least as far back as the 1870 U.S. Census, persons of Hispanic descent were classified as "White" in the "Race" column. These knuckledraggger idiots have no idea that race and ethnicity/nationalality are 2 different things and can't stand to think that "White" isn't truly "White".)

And, I have much more Spanish in me than "Indian." Ignorance like this really makes me mad and gives Conservatives a bad name.
