Oh, yeah, he meant civil war. I heard Lani Guinier repeat this quote on Chris Matthew's Hardball, one day. She said that Clinton changed his demeanor to reflect the group that he was with and this particular day, he was in the company of a bunch of southern good 'ole boys.

About the same time that the book came out, someone arranged for Guinier to be the first Black woman on the faculty at Harvard and this move from Penn, seemed to calm her down and shut her up. She was one angry Black woman, though, after Clinton made those statements about not being able to support her ideas.
