Love Birmingham and loved living there, Wallace was still a racist dick at that point though. And that's why you like him and started the thread. He was Don's model for the campaign, rehashed bullshit, another step backward.
He was and is a great American. Civil unrest in 1960's damaged American pride and LBJ was not up to the task. Civil rights would have come...with or without baby boomer, defeatist, lost a war, crybabies.
You're not really telling history, you're bemoaning all the massive disadvantages white folks have. If you want to really talk about history then you've got to go back to Strom, Bilbo, Long, Rayburn, the list goes on.
