The sole purpose of Strom's candidacy was the preservation of segregation, it was not just some plank in the platform. The Dixiecrats represented a big break with the Democratic Party, after Truman integrated the Armed Forces and pushed civil rights legislation. Strom should rightly be praised for having repudiated his segregationist past. In fact, he was in the wedding party of Clarence Thomas and his wife Virginia. It was moving to see him endorse an inter- racial marriage, given his history. Nevertheless, his presidential candidacy was tainted through and through.I do not think that Lott means anyone any harm, nor pines for the "good old days", but to endorse that candidacy APPEARS to endorse segregation, and it is only those of us who think better of Lott who would refrain from that conclusion, especially given a pattern of gaffes that buttress the view that he is hiding his true feelings.......
