Chperplt, I hope you are not trying to say that I am a racist because I think a man that served his country for so many years deserves a little respect? You dont know me, you never met me. Just like you never met Sen. Thurmond.
Public figures not behaving with dignity??? Lets not even go there.
So please enlighten me to the examples you have to prove that he never changed?
- Supported the renewal of the Voting Rights Act
- Supported the establishment of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr's birthday as a national holiday
- First Senator to hire a african american staffer.
- As Governor, pushed through a bill that repealed South Carolina's poll tax
- As Governor, ordered the state's top prosecutor to try men accused of commiting the state's last lynching. No conviction, but no more lynchings either.
Did the man make mistakes??? Sure. Are you perfect? Am I perfect? Can you site his voting record, post '80's, to show where he obstructed futherance of Civil Rights for minorities?
A man who can realize that he is wrong and change, is a bigger man you. I would like to see you when you are 100. I wonder how long you could stay awake? Didn't your mother ever tell you, if you can't say anything nice, then just don't say anything at all.
I say again, Chperplt, you should be ashamed.
