There was a time not long ago when "states' rights" was a code word. 1960s liberals Southern democrats turned it into a code word for the N word, Jim Crow laws, and the KKK. Any attempt to discuss states' rights was immediate diverted to defending yourself against accusations of being a racist.

... and I say ... segregation today ... segregation tomorrow ... segregation forever.

Yes, that's my point. You cannot be for the 10th Amendment to the Consitution without being "racist." For four decades liberals from the 1960s until now have screamed "racist, "bigot." No discourse was allowed.

And yes, southern Democrats and others supported coninued segregation. There's more to the 10th Amendment than segregation.
