Scary, isn't it?
But you also have to consider who else was running in those races in order to understand why some whites felt compelled to vote for a racist phoney like Duke. What was far worse in my opinion was how whites verbally supported Bobby Jindal and then didn't vote for him when he was running for governor against that numbskull Blanco.

I am from New Orleans and used to be a Big Liberal based on my Louisiana experience. Back then, not all that long ago, many whites were racist, would drop an N Bomb in casual conversation and all said they were Republican.

When I left LA I found that most Conservatives were not racist and then I could become Conservative.
