Why is it I never have heard of these things until you bring them up?

"CJ, do you know what the hell he is talking about?"

Yes. There were some ads by the NAACP. James Byrd was dragged to death in Jasper during Bush's tenure as governor. In the wake of it, the state legislature proposed a new hate crime bill.

Bush opposed it.

The NAACP publicized it.
