re:"Fourty years ago Lott was working to keep blacks from joining his fraternaty. I guess that was one of the problems he thought Strom could have avoided." People change. Look at Jimmy Carter. Should we review his campaign tactics when he ran for Governor thirty years ago? "Carter accused Sanders of being a “Humphrey Democrat.” He was referring to former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, a Democrat from Minnesota who supported such liberal causes as civil rights for blacks, an unpopular cause among many whites, especially in the South. Some of Carter's campaign workers circulated a picture of Sanders joking with a black athlete. Carter ran a campaign to appeal to conservative rural voters. During the campaign he refused to condemn Governor George C. Wallace of Alabama, a leader in the movement to preserve segregation." Or should we look at him as a Governor? "In his inaugural speech in 1971, Carter declared, “The time for racial discrimination is over.” knowsouthernhistory.net And the fact remains (according the statistics gathered during the Clinton Administration) that, the most segregated metropolitan areas in America are in the North and Northeast not the South.
