How could you possibly have known any of this. Like the rest of America you had no idead what the Dixiecrat Party was or what platform Thurmond ran on.

You were eventually told what to infer from these remarks and that's what you did.

Right. None of us could understand;

"I wanna tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that there's not enough troops in the army to force the southern people to break down segregation and admit the nigger race into our theatres into our swimming pools into our homes and into our churches."---Strom Thurmond, presidential candidate, 1948

We had to be told what it really meant.

Are you trying to make me laugh on purpose or what?

OK Jorge, I'll be waiting for you to show me your post's decrying Strom Thurmonds segregationist past and calling for his resignation as President Pro Temp of the US Senate.

Will I be waiting long?
